Howdy, all. Though I've tried to avoid it, I think it's time I face my fear of EQ. I feel like my mixes are okay, but after reading a few articles, I'm thinking that the lack of separation in my instruments is because I'm overlapping frequencies (which I knew nothing about before doing a little research).
Anyway, I found what I thought was an interesting article that gave suggestions on the frequecies each instrument 'should' occupy (http://www.hairthieves.com/tip/eff/eq.htm), but I'm wondering if anyone out ther would be willing to expand on this and give me there thoughts on where things should 'be' within certain frequencies (specifically guitars, bass, and vocals -- I'm currently working with a drum machine so my EQ options there are limited).
I know EQing is a individual preference that can only be judged by your own ears, but if anyone out here can give me some guidelines and maybe expand on the chart at the link above, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

P.S. If you want to see how my mixes seem to be kind of 'condensed' or overlapping in certain ranges, I have some songs posted at http://www.mp3.com/30SoS .
