You learn to mix something by mixing something. It's that simple.

And by far the fastest way [1] to improve is to post your mixes on the Showcase forum (or other mixing forums) and ask for help/advice, because the responses are specific to your song, your genre, your problems, that helps more than general advice.

You may not agree with all the comments (after all, there's always personal taste involved), but even comments you disagree with make you think about what you're doing and why you're doing it this way or that, and that's an important learning process too.

[1] except having a decent mixer sit next to you
