The best thing for you to do, is to learn the tools you have and absorb as much info about mixing as you can. Then start mixing and in due time, you'll build up your skills and ears.

Your ears will tell you what needs to be done to a mix, not a forum. Every song is different. Each song will need different things. Your ears and your knowledge and imagination will dictate what you do to your mix

Here some tips I wrote: This are written in very simple terms:

How to get great vocals

All about compressors

All about EQ

All about Reverb

And check out the literature threads.

One that immediately springs to mix for a newbie is Mixing Engineer's Handbook.
