What encoder settings are you using?
You should be encoding @ at least 256, if not 320.
Also, are you compairing the bounce mp3 to a bounce .wav/.aiff? Often the simple playback 'volume' between a sequencer and your OS Media player may be different, it might not be a difference in the file itself. Compare a bounced .wav and .mp3 to see if your settings are really that off

Why not first make a .wav bounce, and convert it later ? |

i'm with aeon... for sites like soundclick u even have to go as low as 128 kbps, but if u use a decent encoder and if u have a decent .wav to start with only the hihats should really suffer (at such low bitrates the high frequencies really suffer badly, and u can't help that, not even with the best encoders) |

Try use the Variable Bit Rate (vbr) setting on the mp3 encoder - that works well and good file size. What encoder you using? I get good results from LAME V 3.91 |
