Hi Jordan.
You picked a tricky song to start with! I know because I did the same one for my first mix
What I'd recommend is picking three of the mixes of this song you like and using them as reference during your mixing. Don't settle on a track until you are happy it is as good as (or better than!) the ones you are referencing.
Watch out for Tom 1 - it's not audio but a trigger, you should use it to trigger a floor tom sample. There's no automated solution for my system so I just turned that track off in my early mixes! I had to manually place and scale each sample for my latest version.
If you get stuck on any part, then pick your favourite reference version of that, and ask in it's thread how it was done. You might even find an answer in the thread already. It's best to mention the time in the song you are listening to - it makes it easier to help
Have Fun!
