the biggest mistake ametuer producers make is eq the kicks and the bass (or any sound) to close. for example, if your kick is sitting at 120hZ keep your bass line at least 80 hz away - lower or higher. compress drums from 4:1-6:1 with a semifast attack, then the bass at like 16:1-19:1. then adjust volumes.
