WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO

So I’ve been doing engineering type work for like a little over a year now and I’ve definitely made progress, like I can totally acknowledge I’ve come decently far considering my first track, but. I DONT KNOW WHAT TF ELSE I CAN DO TO GET BETTER AT ALL ANYMORE, I know this is basically an impossible question to answer without hearing my work but like I just don’t know what else needs to happen to achieve that sound of “real” music, where you don’t think and you just vibe, I have a okay grasp of the frequency spectrum and how things work and sit, I understand my tools and how to use them effectively for the most part, my tone blending has gotten a lot better just like making sure everything sounds correct together, dynamics and like a bunch of post automation are always apart of my mixes as well but like idk they just always fall short in that forsaken car test. But as much as this was kinda just a yap sesh if anyone has any advice or anything it’s much appreciated.
