Hello,
it’s also difficult to reply as mixing and gain staging is RELATIVE.
it’s relative to your ears, your health condition, from what you reference the analog RYTM (is it headphone, monitors, monitors + sub, etc…)
and what kind of materials do we talk ? drums only ? drums + instrument etc…
I see your avatar and you seem to be a dj so no offense but did you see a specialist to make ears testing and see the details on your ears diagram. (Because in some way it can really help you to understand some things in case of you have some frequency deficiencies and what frequencies)
NEXT. I would say avoid the headphones every time when it’s possible. Try to layout your sounds on monitoring and then when your kits is ok you can going on headphones to build some variations, song etc…
LOUDNESS is dangerous for precision matter in sound territory search after the loudness when your track, pattern, kits is Finnish or well build. PAY Attention you need to make decision in the spectrum all elements can’t be Loud, Elements need to be choosen or sculpt relatively to the other elements. There important elements and other more slightly here but as a complement. There’s only few main elements (it’s like movies you know there’s first role and second role every role is important but an artistic choice is made.
You could also connect your rytm with a DAW and use a spectrum to visualize and tweak accordingly to place better the sounds in the stereo spectrum.
As you probably notice when you have some drums which sounds nice together it’s some how by nature they complement each other. And when some frequencies start to clash it’s not the moment to introduce another layers or Analog Four bass to a very full bass frequencies already take place by the Analog RYTM, or sample bass in the analog rytm will probably clash with the others. You need to use tools inside the box so the sound take place. OR you can mix outside the box with separated outputs (overbridge in ableton or a hardware mixer)
For that matter when have sculpted your sounds (if it’s layering you need to tweak also here) and then you need to place well the sounds together in the stereo spectrum. It’s not only levels it’s also frequencies. For levels instances, yes you have a lot of instance and i will not repeat what the excellent monsieur Bravetti already wrote.
If you do Layering pay attention to prepare your sample you need to understand that layering technique in the sound creation or you start badly and every stage after will be a mess in the stereo spectrum.
so SYNTH and sAMPLE need to glue well together also in the frequency territories and yes it’s not easy. Try to not put all stage at 127 (to me 100 is a good start you can lower if you find sample or synth is too high in the layering perception of the sound you after) or it will be a mess at the end. (Keep air and breathing)
The filter and Lfo should help to sculpt the results of the layering, should also be creative regardless the sounds you after. do not overdoo envelope filter or lower your Synth and sample volume accordingly (PAY ATTENTION to your levels honestly a spectrum to visualize what you’re doing exactly should help)
> BUT it’s also there you can make things to cut some bass or make peak shine a bit
Also some important points is decay, you know if all sounds have too long decay it should be a problem here so adjust decay also in the context of a kits of sounds 
AMP envelope and stage : envelope is here to sculpt also your layerings then you have some overdrive but and you need to adjust the overall levl of the tracks accordingly like reverb in fact reverb tend to gain few db in the perception of the sound you need to adjust every time you suspect you level change (or if you see it on a spectrum you hey ok i gain few db here so lowered you volume there)
I think THEN when all that is sounding nice you can go on Compressor and Distortion. OR if you prefer you can mix through the compressor but set as
Gustavo told you it’s a soft setting like a Bus Compressor so only few movement of gain reduction it’s just blinking a bit (Ratio 1:2 maximum, medium attack, medium release) so basically when you see gain reduction blinking stop there no more Gain reduction you put more in the last stage depend of what sounds you after for the AR regarding the song, the beats, or the machine to each other machines.
But compressor will make CRAP if the precedent stages is not OK…
You should also apply NYC compression which is a natural signal mixed (with the MIX parameter) with a very compressed signal. It working nicely and there’s less chance to not get something with this way of processing
Hope it help but yeah mixing is something. Sounding nice is a process and it’s STEPS… if you try to go to fast, to loud, with ears addiction to loudness and tiredness with a phone per example there’s chance honestly you failed in that whole process
