I could be way off base here, but the impression I get is that you are currently starting out by EQing every instrument to sound good on it's own. In a mix the individual tracks are usually a lot thinner than you might think, and they need to be EQed to not step on each other, and to fill the gaps left by the others, unless of course you are trying to blend two together, like HiHat and Tambourine or kick and bass, but even in these cases you want them to blend and compliment but also to have a unique feature that you can pick out if you listen closely. Listen to your mix as a whole and try doing some small EQ cuts to clean up overlapping instruments, just sweep the freq around until you hear the muddiness disappear, or the instrument jump into it's own space, also sweep the boosts you might have on kick and snare until the defining freq of each sits well with the other instrumnents.
