Hi, welcome to this community. I am new here myself and have managed to work on about 10 selections. I find the information you find here to be really helpful.

I suggest reading the "About This Multitrack" notes from Mike Senior included with some of the selections, it contains good pointers and observations before diving in.

I also suggest listening to the other member postings and getting a feel of the comments made about other mixes as that can help you with your process.

With that, I will comment that it sounds like you are using hard limiting (mastering plugin?) on the mix. I would suggest splitting the mix and maximization process into 2 separate processes. This section is a good reference: http://www.cambridge-mt.com/ms-mtk.htm

Lower your snare just a bit, and just a tiny bit lower compression on that snare also. a (very) small bit of reverb (and even smaller) short delay on the lead vox and see how you like it Smile

If you post "unmastered" mixes I recommend to normalize, maybe use a limiter anyway.
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.
