with cubase i export to wav and use audacity to do lame mp3 transcoding. my stuff in soundcloud has been more quiet than the pro guys music out there who compress it out of roof. but i've been learning some basics of mastering and "learned" to use ozone 5 which i used with my last piece i processed for last.fm and got it quite good, even comparable to the pro songs. so one way to solve your sound level problem would be to grab ozone at the next discount.

This community is by far the most supportive and warm online community I have participated in. I have no idea why all the good guys and girls have ended up here but please "continue whatever you are doing" As a so-called artist I am too sensitive in some areas and often my work evolves around those areas. Yet there has not been a single time I feel someone being inpolite or anyway offensive towards my work. On the contrary everyone has been very constructive in their criticism, helping me to learn and motivating me to do more. So I want to say thanks to you all and thanks for the administrators for your part in this. Pekka
