Thanks! It's nice to hear words describing parts of the mix like "dry" and "close" as I feel like I can't always put my finger on why something sounds the way it does. My approach to shaping the mix mostly consists of listening to the nearly completed track on a few different areas (headphones, studio monitors, earbuds, laptop speakers, phone speaker) hoping for a consistent experience. If I perceive anything sticks out too much or too little I'll do something about it. I would like to get a bit more methodical about it in the future :)
