Some things I learned...
1. Listen properly!
2. A good song matters more then the preamp you used
3. A good arrangement matters more than the preamp you used
4. Listen to the whole mix and adjust, not individual tracks
5. Don't do anything "because you always do", e.g, hi passing
6. A bit of distortion especially on bass is good
7. Make the vocal sound great, balance up the drums and everything else has to fit around that
8. Use Solo as little as possible. No one will listen to a soloed kick drum.
9. Compression is really useful but make sure you understand it and do lots of experiments
