great audio mix tip to thicken a complete mix and bring important elements forward:

It's a parallel mixbus compression technique from Andrew Scheps. No need to watch the 10 minutes long video here it is:

create a bus with any kind of compressor.
send all tracks except the drums to this bus. The sends have be post fader.
Compress the bus aggressively (fast-medium attack, fast release, 4:1 ratio up to 10dB gain reduction)
bring the bus fader up until it blends and thickens all your front elements.
Play with your compressors characters, try different ones etc. That's the creative side. -Enjoy
