EQ Shelving your tracks brings depth and clarity to your mix. I try not to put anything but my Kick drum under 90hz. My basslines dip down there sometimes, but only offbeat. Low mids are my trouble spot.
Also test out your tracks on as many systems as you can. Everything sounds good in your headphones, but thats a bad way to mix. Some tracks that sound great in my car suck on the club's system.
Good reference monitors with a flat response are also key to finding the sweet spot in your mix.

Drawing with too many 'colors' in one area tends to make black mud.
