Hi Marco,
do you know that recent studies reveal that LOUDNESS WAR isn't correlated to sales?
(before this massive digitalization there was less loudness war and music bands used to sell millions of albums, much more than now... you could live making records.. now you can't)
now everyone own a limiter software + people is much more ignorant regarding dynamic & musical taste and the worst-est thing is that they are capable of produce music...the result is that loudness war is just destroying music and the love for it (this is one of the main reasons that suggest why people is massively coming back to vinyl records).
may i suggest you a pdf called "how to mix a pop song from scratch" by Jezar? you must read it.
surely your mix have something good but don't forget that OUR task (as mixers) is to create an overall decent sound: our finished master must sound (at least) decent on every sound system, without artefacts or strange things 'cause normal people like to simply enjoy music... they don't care about which kind of compression or limiting we love or for example what kind of reverb we use... people like music 'cause just sounds good
when our music sound good, we accomplished our job.

Recording engineer David Williams said, “It’s quite ironic: We got rid of our
analog equipment, replaced it with digital, then spent the next couple
of decades trying to get the digital to sound like the analog we
got rid of.”
