Sorry, it´s been a while, I´ve been busy the last couple of days.

Bounce them first. To me that always seems to be tighter than doing midi (even with internal synths that recieve data with a higher resolution than midi).

All a matter of eq. Cut the freqs on the bass that you boost on the kick (or that are significantly prominent) and vice versa. If the bass seems to be behind the kick it´s likely that the bass is happening in the subbass area and not so in the 200 - 800 k range.

How does that happen ? Just by adding the other tracks ? Then I suppose it also is a matter of eq. On every single track find out what are the freqs that cut through the mix. Boost those or cut the others. If you did that on your whole mix it should be much more transparent.
In dance bass / kick relationship is the most important thing. If that doesn´t sound right, it simply doesn´t matter what else is happening. So make it happen
