This should be posted in the Production Tips subforum. Did you try google searching with the forum name for this topic/searching the forum?
I would say that 99% of bass/rhythm guitars never have reverb on them for modern metal.
Leads generally have a bit of reverb and a good about of delay (although you may not be able to hear it), especially during accentuated guitar solos.
Using a reverb with a modest sized pre-delay will get your drums and vocals sounding bigger in no time.
A lot of the time when the drums are playing in the mix, you won't be able to hear the reverb at all, but when you hear them solo'd, they're drenched in it.
Vocals can be the same way.
You should probably learn about high-passing and low-passing instruments (especially guitar and bass) to get rid of unwanted frequencies that will only clutter your mixes first. That will create more "space" for detail in the mix, and help you achieve depth.
Posting one of your mixes with dropbox would be a smart idea; that way we can all listen and try to help you out. Don't use myspace to show us what you're talking about.

Thanks lolzgreg for your answer I put on dropbox two tracks the first without anything in the master bus http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3419534/07 Pista 7.mp3 and the same mix with compresion and limiting on master bus. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3419534/06 Pista 6.mp3 I try on that to get somethig of deep and wide with slight use of reverbs but at the end I don´t know if that is the wrong or right way.Thanks.

This sounds well performed to me. The guitars are a tiny bit muddy at times.
I think the snare sound is a bit plasticyboxy- and the reverb should have a longer pre-delay. That will help the mix a lot.
You're doing a great job so far. Try that first.
