Sometimes when I cant get a vocal to sit right I'll send the drums and Bass to one Buss, the guitars to another Buss and the vox to another Buss, and do some simple EQing and notching out to get the Vocals to sit. Bump the drums and bass around 80-100hz subtract the 5k-20k range in the guitars. And remember if its getting to muddy or cluttered look to cut the low frequencys seeing as they are physically bigger and take up more room.Try not to mix the vocals with them solo'd cuz this isn't gonna tell you shit about how it sits. That was a big mistake of mine for awhile. I've mixed snares that sounded TERRIBLE solo'd but great in a mix and that's what counts. Trust your ears, let go of whatever "rules" you think you gotta follow, and always experiment.
Hope that helps a little,
