It's really in the EQ at the mix level. The mistake most people make is to EQ and tweak each track as a separate thing. You can not do that. Frequencies accumulate(add) and they also subtract. Just like making a stew. You don't add spices to each ingredient. If you did it would be WAY to spicy,salty, etc. when you through it all together. The biggest frequencies to back of is the mids in all the instruments because vocals are all mids.The same goes with other instruments.Watch for the accumulation.Then using multiband compression on the final mix will further help
