Great info, Kapu!
A quick note about loudness, Javierpg84, if you want loud mixes, mix for loudness. Point being, there's a lot of stuff that will help your mixes go really loud and still sound good. Ofc, you need to know how and when to clip, but also keep in mind that you really need to control your low end and the harshest bits of the hi-mids, because when the mix goes loud, they'll go WILD. A quick EQ correction on the mix bus won't do much, you'll need to work your way to a loud mix from the tracks themselves. And, as usual, you'll have to learn by doing it wrong a couple dozen times.
BTW, about the mix, great balance and aggressiveness, though I'm missing a little depth. Everything appears to be equally upfront, and the drum hits could have a little more "tail" since the song is not very fast and leaves space for it.
