The mix is really nice. I'm not hearing clipping, so I think the loudness is good. A lot of techniques are involved in creating a good mix. Did you check out Music Mixing Fundamentals yet? Everything in that basically! First and foremost though, balancing, to get levels right, then EQ, to make sure all the right frequencies are there and there aren't any overlaps. For instance, when the noisy synth comes in, the other synth parts need to be getting out the way - you can do this manually with EQs or filters, but effects like Wavesfactory Trackspacer make it easier - it's a dynamic EQ that allows you to sidechain sounds to one another. Also, the drums are very well mixed - there'll be layering, compression (probably multiple stages, including parallel) - everything will be ducked to the kick most likely.
Anyway, yes, I could make a track like this in a future livestream. I love the vibe!
