I'm not exactly sure I understand what your problem is. But it sounds like there are sections of a song where the backing tracks are overpowering the vocal. I'm going to assume that's your issue.

Most people on this site work in a DAW. So again I'll assume you're working in a DAW on a computer. Most DAWs have something called a "Volume envelope." It's a tool that lets you automate the volume of a track. you can use taht on your offending backing tracks to turn them down and let the vocal pop through.

You might also want to post your song in the MP3 clinic and see if you get any comments. That might help too.

Hope it helps - Dat_douchebag_Trip
 
by mastering i assume you mean sidechaining...ive never side chained vocals but i suppose the principles the same


google sidechaining with whatever DAW youre using
 
Tell us about your track.
What instruments are there? What's the mix like?
Maybe even post a clip?

My best guess (and it is a guess) is that there's more going on in the mix when you have problems.
The more parts there are, the greater the chance that two or more of those parts are occupying the same space on one of the three main planes: Frequency, stereo position and depth.
We use eq, panning and ambience to control audio in these three ways.

Methodically mute things, apart from the vocals, until the problem goes away.
Then you'll know which parts are causing the problem.
 
As horribly insensitive as it is, I can attest to the fact that in China, Singapore, and Taiwan, that toothpaste is definitely still currently sold as "Black Man Toothpaste" (something like 黑人牙膏）. Been studying Chinese for a few years now and was floored when I saw it.

Anyways, back to the OP. Every piece of a mix is a puzzle that has to fit into a certain space. Picture a mix as a 3D box. Low end to high end is floor to ceiling...panning left to right is your left to right...effects that push sounds back is your front to back. If your vocals aren't coming through, something else is right there in the center (left to right) and in that same frequency (bottom to top). Find what is stepping on the vocals and be merciless. The best beat in the world won't save a song where you can't hear the vocals.
 
the toothpaste is called "darkie", i think its been changed in a few countries as Im sure it was also sold in Australia...but thats what it was, and is called in some places ;)
 
It's now "Darlie", in Asia at least. But the Chinese is definitely still "Black Man Toothpaste". Unreal.
