A very useful technique to implement into your mixing process, even if it's a little discouraging at first but definitely highly beneficial to developing your skills.
Import your chosen track into your session and make sure it doesn't have any processing on and that it doesn't go through your mix buss, also make sure you match the level of the reference track to your own work. Remember your ears are easily tricked into thinking something is better when it's louder!
Next, actively listen to what is going on in the track, the balance, EQ, compression, effects etc and use this as a type of guide. It is also useful to make notes on both mixes for comparison.
This is something very simple to add into your mix process but it is particularly useful when you are learning by actively analysing and being able to identify key elements of a mix.
