I've tried to reduce bass levels on occasions, but usually end up with a really weak, thin sound....

Also, I've read in a few places that boosting freqs (particularly on digital systems) isn't a good idea. Is this true? If so, why?
Broadly tracks seem to slope like that. Don't rely too much on the analyser, try and use it to confirm what you are hearing rather than to mix with!
