Beginner asking how to get cleaner and louder recordings

Hey everyone. I just purchased a model 12 and have had a great time recording tracks on it. My main issue is that my tracks sound a bit muddy, and they also sound very quiet.

In terms of volume, I have the main fader at max pretty much, and the other faders are at 75% or so, and when I listen back to my mix, it's noticeably quieter than a song on Spotify or Apple Music for example. Could this just be because wit is not mastered?

In terms of quality, I run everything through a reverb or soke effect so that may have something to do with it. Maybe the less tracks the better if there is a lot of reverb?

Tascam Model 12 - Using headphones

I've had a Tascam Model 12 mixing desk for a few weeks now and trying to work out how to monitor using headphones is driving me absolutely nuts! I found a Youtube video from a guy called 424 Recording where he uses the the Sub Output but this requires more cables (which I don't have) and it still looks complex and dumb. All I want is to monitor a track I've already recorded and overdub a flute part using headphones as monitors whilst I record.

Can someone explain the simplest way to do this please? Cheers!
