weird weird weird

i've been reading up on these threads, and so for a recent project i tracked lower.
yes things didn't sound as harsh, and yes the mix was more open.
I turned up the monitor volume in the DAW and it sounded great.

But then I bounced the mix down to 16bit 44.1, and it sounded much quieter than the radio-friendly stuff. a few dB quieter.

perhaps this tracking lower doesn't work great for every style of music?
