Good idea brother.
My broken record:
Dial the mix limiting / compression back a bit. Generally there's been too much pumping IMHO. It "should" only be used for effect IMHO. This, I'm guessing, has caused you to chase your tail a bit when it comes to getting drums, especially snare, to sit right in the mix. In my experience it tends to bury the snare. Cymbals have exhibited pumping too more often than I'm guessing you'd like.
Also, I'll repeat what I said the other day:
As a general rule, never boost low mids in vocals. This not only tends to sound "amateur", but it ultimately lessens the ability of notes to be perceived clearly in-the-mix 'cause the energy boost means that you're chewing up headroom unnecessarily. Great in solo mode, not-so-great in a mix.
If you stand close to the mic I'd try cutting them.
By the same token, the mid mids ought not be cut if you want notes to "sing through".
