Most art, whether it be poetry, sculpting or music is largely about subtracting what shouldn't be there so that the essence is revealed.
A throwback to the 1970's disco era: double the bass part with a muted guitar to give it some more texture and presence in the mix. Why not try the idea in a modern context, perhaps with a synth bass part ...

Automating a band or two (one in the lower mid-range and one in the upper mid-range) alternating between a 1dB cut and a 1dB boost creates variation and can give a subtle realism to any loop. #makingsound

If you hear an annoying build-up of some frequency in your mix but you can't find an obvious source of it, attenuating a little bit on a number of tracks is a good way to go. Start with the reverbs, you can attenuate a lot there without changing the tone of the instruments.

Automate subtle EQ moves to make a kick drum or a snare drum sound more realistic by adding natural sounding variation. Alternatively, create three or four tracks with different EQ and put the drum hits on different tracks.

The tools!
Compression can change the groove, shape the transients, limit dynamics, distort/color, darken/brighten. EQ can clean up low end/high end, or totally change tonality/frequency range:
Have a goal in mind - then try the tools! #makingsound
