Depends on how loud your monitoring cubase. If the master meters are up there bouncing in the red you should have a pretty hot file.

Master volume level should be unity gain (0db).

I don't export that hot, I take the file into sound forge and run a few compressors on it.

I also export with a compressor on the master bus.

My rough mixes aren't really mixed, just set the levels and compress the hell out of it.

But I digress.

I guess some people process everything inside cubase, I just got into working like this.
