Mixes usually sound muffled due to a build-up of frequencies in the lower mid-range, between 200-500Hz. Applying a narrow EQ cut to selected tracks in this range can help. Using a High Pass Filter (HPF) on instruments that have little presence at these frequencies can also help increase clarity.

Is there a simple way to make a mix sound better?
It’s so simple that it’s mind boggling. By rolling off the ultra low end (100hz and below) on just about every instrument other than kick drum and bass you free up a ton of headroom and volume for your mix buss to breath. On most tracks in the mix, you gain nothing sonically from the sub 100hz area so it’s a waste of volume anyway.
