M/S Mastering.

Hi, my name is Jorge Carvalho, i'm a student at School of Arts from Catholic University of Porto.

I'm doing my master's degree in Sound Design. My dissertation is about the M/S Mastering Technique, and if you are a master engineer, i like to make if possible a few questions regarding this method.
Is very simple, click on the link to go to a little survey on google docs.

In need of some advice

When mixing my projects, the overall quality sounds great. But when i bounce it out, it seems like its being over compressed and i am losing the dynamics to the mix. Everything gets really quiet and fuzzy. I have tried different bit ratios and i can't really tell a difference in them. I loose the punch of the kick drum and the snare drum and the vocals seem to duck under the mix.
