cr1st0 hello
When you talking about mastering you talking about a full two track and not about singel samples.
if you talking about a full track well the chain of a basic mastering is:
eq
multiybandcompressor
stereo imaging
limiter
dither
in the master fader of your sequncer or a wave editor like wavelab from stainberg
also when you master put infront of you analyzer to see the problems in your track

i think you talk about MIXING 
what you actually look for is a way to seperate sounds one from each other so they wont clash into each other.
example :
you have percussive loop, and lead , both on the same area of freqs.
one way is to seperate them with pan. one to the left one to the right and the clash solved , but that should be done carefully there is also stereo image you should think of.
other way is to eq them.
you insert eq on each channel and clean diffrent freqs from each sound
example:
you take the percussiopn loop , and reduce some 800hz , but raise some 350hz .. so in the lead you might wanna take the 350hz down and the 800hz up
one more way is to compress.. you reduce peaks from both channels , or compress them one into each other so they effect one another
example :
you record your loop and lead together , then apply compressor , so when the snare (or strongest perc. hit) comes , it reduce some volume from the lead , and when the lead is at peak , it take the front and reduce some perc... its not so easy but not so hard also with some reading.
and golden rule for me - highpass evrything (exept kick and bass if u realy dont need)
in my early years i hadnt notice (lack of good monitor) huge sub basses that are in almost evry sound. so to cut it from sounds that dont need sub bass it will make bass and kick much clearer
