its difficult to say without hearing it tbh. try cutting the eq instead of boosting it maybe. seperating sounds/frequencies will help a lot, cutting the high freqs from the low bits and the low freqs from the high bits for example.

I agree with Burt. Definately sounds like you need to apply some eq to balance things out. Listen and see where you think the clashes are eg the subass, midbass, high frequencies etc and try reducing those frequencies. it's all about trial and error.
Also do a search on this site for 'eqing' in the production questions and answers section. There's shit loads of info here.

the individual bits. In your situation the kick drum and bassline specifically. This is the age old problem that most people come across at some point when producing and to a certain degree - on every track you write. usually the bass drum & bassline will need a bit of tweaking to get them sitting right together. Play with reducing some of the lower frequencies of the kick drum, then cut some frequencies of the bassline so that kick sits nicely with it. Basically so you dont have both elements fighting for the same spot in the sound spectrum.

Yep, well said.
Keep it simple to start with - if you have a low sounding kick, give the bass more mid frequencies. Alternatively, if the kick is more mid-sounding, give the bass more low end. In other words, give them both different frequencies. When they're the same they compete for the same part of the sound spectrum, as Yawn said, and inevitably conflict. (The same goes for pretty much all the sounds in the mix.) Btw, this is something you need to work on from your first track to your very last. But don't worry, it gets easier as you progress, as you undoubtedly will!

ok i'll give it a try, what you saying seems bang on. my kick has got a real low end and the bass is pretty low aswell. so i'll give it some poking around!
i hope it sorts it out, im really enjoying makin this tune and i cant wait to figure out more and more

Go to this thread and check some of the articles on EQing, that will help you.
Start of with drums and bass first and when you get that right move on to the next stage.

Sometimes the bass drum punches up the bass sound that takes the same frequencies, giving a bass push up effect - very warm and nice sounding.
Usually can be achieved using a compressor.

Nope, no problem, but most people prefer hosting it here.

The LAME encoder is considered to be the best quality for encoding to mp3.
You need to download the codec and a front end program (eg razorlame, winLAME)
check out http://lame.sourceforge.net/index.php for download links.

You should have no worries about that.
You just need to express some opinion about the tune, what you like or what you don't like and that's the bare minimum.

Another thing that may help your problem, would be to look into side chaining. Have a look on youtube for some tips. Try 'side chaining reason' in the search engine.
