Well this is my first try using Slate drums...(flame shield up)

Guitars are EC-1000 -> ts808, tsex30 spreshigh impulse and a bunch of eqing

Bass is a 5 string Ibanez soundgear(not sure what model) into the BIG bass amp sim

Snare seems far in the mix and overall there's way to much low-mids action going on.

hmm I think that might be the grind on the bass causing the low mid problem. To be honest I'm just using the default settings on the bass amp sim lol. I'll work with that some more tomorrow and see what I can do.

You really don't need to compress Slate samples. They're already compressed and processed heavily.

well I thought they sounded better after some more processing haha. just because they are processed already doesn't mean you can't do more

Mix as a whole is muddy and far-off sounding. Guitars sound really muffled. Drums get buried easily, and sound overcompressed and pumpy. Like olif8 said, slate samples typically don't need much. Some of the chugs sound a bit late.
