    you dont need to take out everything, you can make subtle cuts in problematic areas.
    generally, subtractive eq means cutting instead of boosting. When some frequencies are busy due to more instruments playing in the same area, just cut those frequencies on the sounds which taking the place of the other sound, you want to hear in that area.

    I think this goes beyond simple Q&A
    You need to read about subtractive EQ, there are no generalities or hard rules, which I think is what you are asking for.

    There are plenty of good articles on the net

    Learn the principle techniques and then apply them to your own music.

    Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?
