You could build a skimmed desktop for about $500 that would run like a war horse and spend the other $1000 on something else

I know exactly where you are coming from, and it is a huge bummer  when you mix, export and upload a track onto your phone or device only to find it is super weak :(

Something I learned from a Soundprank (Colin Fischer) mixing tutorial was that he uses the technique of putting utilities on all of his bus channels. Then goes in and turns them down and creates his starting point with his kick around -18db.

I am sure some will read this and say wtf?! However after having tried it, it def works.

I do the same now and do my mix down with my interface maxed out while still keeping my track at a level I can have a conversation at. On my master chain I first have a utility and then turn it up on my master. I follow that with my master chain to simulate a mastered effect, and tweak where needed. Releasing music as a bedroom producer, this technique really has helped me translate my mixes onto all systems, not just my studio monitors and headphones, but laptops and Bluetooth speakers as well.

Hope this helped, good luck!

Hey, not sure if you have found anything yet but I do know he also uses serum. He also recently put out a presets pack on Freshly Squeezed. It has alot of good patches in there and after deconstructing them you can kind of get an idea of how he makes some of his basses. He is very heavy with the modulation

Digging into your eq's to create some space might work. If it really sounds terrible you might have to go back to your sound design. You could try side chaining your tracks that you want on the edges of your stereo field with your track you want in the middle to let that come through first and then adding some ambience to the outer edges.

Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Re: How to add momentum to your songs

Personally, I like to modulate different tracks, and not always with pitch control. When talking about momentum I believe you are talking about energy. Maybe bring in some elements you played before and gradually tease them with different effects. Maybe it's double timeing a synth rather than a snare. This may be going way out there, but I like to listen to how energy builds up sonically in my everyday life and take notice to the different sounds I am hearing. That sports car coming up from behind or train swooshing behind could add some inspiration to your sound design and effects usage.
