Thanks again to all the help. As an experiment, I have placed two samples at the link below.

This is my first time mixing and I tried to work on three things, and clearly am not very good yet. I tried to work on the following:

1) "presence": I am thinking about stage presence where the vocalist is front and center and the drum kit in the back, etc. To achieve this is adjusted various volume levels in the mix
2) "Spread" and by this I mean how I try to capture a stereo sound through the pan pots
3) "frequency" I tried to adjust frequency some to avoid all pieces in the same competing space. I have found this to be extremely challenging.

I am genuinely interested in your honest feedback and if possible any specific advice that would help me learn more about mixing.

I have found that listening to these on different speakers makes a huge difference as well. It sounds worst on computers and best at home through multiple speakers.
