I had to look up K14 because I didn't know that was the name of a mixing/mastering standard, so I was a tad confused for a second lol.

You're totally right about the loudness and bad crispiness, as after listening to all the other jam tracks (yours included) I swung the pendulum too far in the other direction when mastering and I definitely didn't have to go so hard on the clipper and limiter. I find my setup tends to push me towards an overwhelming high and mid bubble as-is, and it's been a pain getting my ears to go back to hearing less of that and more bass as a "good mix" if that makes sense. Thank you for the feedback, I will take a gander at that technique and try to incorporate it next time! :)
