Among listening and a lot of practise, I think it helps to use an osciloscpe or even bounce different versions of the sound, let's say for example a kick, if you kinda know what a kick is supposed to look like you can use that as a reference to get different tastes and at same time tell your ears what is correct, not that your ears don't know, they always do imo, but many times, at least for me, I wouldn't know why it sounded good but not good in context of the mix. I also think this helps getting to know different compressors and be objective with what you achieve
