For reference, check this website http://dr.loudness-war.info/ (dynamic range database)
Thanks for the detailed response. I will check out this website for sure. I hear ya on how music is subjective and mixes are different within there genres even. I typically don't reference tracks when mixing new music even if I have a copy of the track I'm mixing, because I want my perspective. That being said if I'm specifically told by the artist they want the track to sound like X then I'll reference the track. I want to have my own sound when I mix but I also want my mix to sound amazing also. I think there is nothing I mixed in the past four years of my experience that is amazing.
So I keep at it and keep aiming for that amazing mix and with every mix I get a little closer.
