This will help listeners, to be honest who likes to pull monitoring volume 30dB up?
Personally I don't think there was anything wrong with the limiter in the 1st mix, I didn't hear any "destruction".
Also the snare was not even loud in the first place, just needs different EQ IMO.
As do the vocals, sounding rather muffled; consider how much brighter are the cymbals which makes the balance weird.
Brighten up snare and vocals, maybe cut a bit of the body of the snare so it lets thru other stuff but still use med/high frequecies to make a good impact.
Try also a little cut in the 300-350 area for vocals, cleans up a bit of mud and can give overall clarity.
PS: actually the mix is quite good to start with. Just those few corrections would make it really good IMO
Thankyou for comment pmilani, I think the same about the maximization process to help listeners (to my next mix i will upload both) and i will try your recommendation for the eq.
