it all starts with a good arrangement. If you've got that right your job (on both counts) becomes easy. If it doesn't already sound 90% there perhaps start by going back to the arrangement and working on it again. When it comes to mixing, perhaps start by reading the mix engineers hand book. But don't expect to be able to do this stuff overnight. It can literally take years to learn how to do

You have all sub-$150 equipment but have the Waves Diamond Bundle? Did you purchase it second hand or new?

Also...M-Audio doesn't make the Rokit series, KRK does.

"Mixing Secrets for the Small Studio" by Mike Senior is a great book to start with. I would recommend that as your next purchase:

Amazon.com: Mixing Secrets for the small studio (9780240815800): Mike Senior: Books

Less is more.

A lot of producers hear more than a typical consumer that gets confused about too much happening in the mix.
