No worries! Glad you enjoyed the stream 
Yeah, there could be a good course in that I would say, trying to improve some of the most common issues. There is of course content already made on a lot of these subjects. I could try and reference some here...
- get the bass/kick mix right using monitoring (what we should be looking for..)
Seppa's recent Sub Bass Masterclass is definitely a good one to check out for this, especially using visualisers like Vision 4X, which I was using in the Zoom call.
- how to improve stereo width /side frequency levels
There's quite a lot of different tutorials on this. My Complete Guide to Stereo Width is a good starting point. I also did a Stereo Width webinar back in 2020. Simon Shackleton has done some good stereo vids as well like Controlling the Stereo Field and Mid-Side EQ
And don't forget the Stereo Width training I did a few year's back too if you want something fun to test out your knowledge in that area.
When it comes to the frequency side of things, as a general rule, you want the bass completely mono and the top end nice and wide, so you normally want to have a slope going in that direction when you look at the side signal on an analyser. So, when you're using a multi-band imager, for instance, often the stereo will be boosted in increasing amounts as the bands go up the spectrum. Jafunk's Pro Mixing Masterclass demonstrates this well - I think in Module 2 Lesson 2.
- improve master mix levels with Multi-band compressor
Trying to think where this is covered. Obviously the various mastering courses on the website all touch on this to some degree. For instance, module 8 in Mastering Now.
- to use reference track for mix, arrangements
A few courses show this, like Iain Bland's/Maison Records for instance - Classic House Production and Sound Design. Right at the end of that, he brings in a reference track to sort the mixdown. I don't know if there's much showing using a reference track when composing though as yet, other than my Beginner's Guide to Song Arranging - which talks about creating arrangement templates from tracks.
- how to improve quieter parts adding more FX sounds or audio processing.. etc
The Arranging course I just linked to is also great for this...
Hope this helps!
