Hi
What struck me is how you butchered your mix with whatever you put on your master fader to maximize the level. Sounds a little like you clipped your mixbuss too. Everything is squashed to death, there no dynamic left... That makes it difficult to judge your mix at best.
Anyway your reverbs also make the mix a bit undefined, especially the piano and drums. You might want to lower them a bit and work some more on their sound. Speaking of the drums the hat is way too loud compared to the other elements but that may be caused by the limiting/clipping on the 2-buss...
The bass and pads are really cloudy and kinda melt into some sort of mud in the low end.
As I said at the beginning of my comment there's no dynamics in your mix. Everything is loud and distorted. No section as any impact except from what the arrangement provides in terms of forward motion.
There's a lot more in a mix than what you can do with your processing... I suggest you try to do a mix with no processing at all and try to develop impact only with your balances. I think you can learn a lot from such an exercise.
Cheers
