As someone who does future trap or whatever you wanna call it (trap with 808s and melodic leads/supersaws) I find it very difficult to mix sections requiring a heavy 808 beat but also powerful supersaw chords.
The 808 takes up so much of the volume ceiling that it literally crushes out the sound of the supersaws/melodic leads. I can't remove too much high-end or volume from the 808 because otherwise it deteriorates the thump/harmonics, but if I don't then the entire track is squashed.
