RE: Got any tips on my vocal mix?

Well there is a clue right there with what your telling me
The auto eq seems to boost the highs
This is exactly why your not able to get the vocals on top

The auto eq is gonna set the system fairly flat

If the EQ of the auto set is way out of whack like boosting the highs
way up and it looks like huge changes on the eq then what you have to
do is this first
You have to set the levels of each bandpass individually so its
as close to flat as possible first!
Once you have set all the band pass levels close to flat as you can get
then run your auto eq
Also, pay attention to your threshold
Its entirely possible the threshold is set to sensitive and your
not getting the headroom you need
And yes output levels on the xover drive rack have got to be the
highest they can be without introducing distortion to the amps

Once a system is set to flat as possible then you can shelve the highs
on your tone controls on vocal channels
I typically shelve the highs up and cut the low control on vocal channels
This puts the vocal just over the top and not way out front of the mix
