To the OP.
1. Read some mixing books.
2. When you first start mixing, be prepared to be frustrated and disappointed at the results you get. But don't give up. No violinist will try to play Paganini Variations in their first year of study
3. Listen, listen, listen.
4. Before you start mixing, try to create as much of a mental picture of the finished product as you can. Decide what instruments are important, what instruments/sounds play more of a supporting role, think of how various instruments reinforce and/or interact with each other.
5. Before thinking of such things as EQ and Compression, ask yourself why you need it, what you're trying to fix and/or accomplish.
6. When you get stuck on a certain point, come here and ask specific questions. Then you'll find people such as SSG to be much more helpful and less grumpy
