Hi I'm Johannes,
I wanted to share my mix with you and maybe you can tell me what you think about it. Not quite sure about the OH compression yet. At the end it seems a little overcompressed. Also I'm never sure about the reverb and delay stuff. Is it too much?

Anyway, have fun while listening. I'm relatively new to mixing.

Hey there.
Firstly, I notice that the guitars seem a little underworked, and yes, certain elements of the drums seem a little thin and over-compressed. The snare sounds a little dead to me and there is some slight pumping going on in the overheads.
The guitars seems to be a little dull and pushed back too much in the verses.
There's a nice natural lift in the chorus, but the vocals seem to be pushed back in places as well.
Overall, the drums seem to be a drawing just a little too much attention for my liking.
Maybe try re-balancing the mix and EQ some of the muddiness out of the guitars once you've brought down the compression and overall level of the overheads.
