This may sound pretty stupid but I've never been taught anything about recording.

What do I need to do in order to successfully mix a track so that it sounds some what professional?

I use

EZ Drummer, DFH plugin
POD XT LIVE
ESP KH3
Dean DFH
Cubase SX3
Midi Bass, Guitar Rig 2 plugin

Whenever I attempt to mix/master a track I've recorded these are the steps I'll take

1) Edit each individual sound wave by taking out unwanted noise/crackles etc
2) Use Graphic EQs to try set a better sound for guitars, drums and bass

Well thats actually about it haha

I just need some advice on how to get the final product sounding decent.

Any help would be appreciated.
I could post a track up if that would help.
