Default Dynamic "squish" - an observation, not a "rant"

Though I know the point is obvious, it's amazing to see how completely "squished" my mix sounds after first rendering it to mp3 on my end, transferring it, then having it uploaded again for the competition. In listening back solely to my mp3 mix, both in the studio and in the car, the submission posted sounds so much more lifeless within the submitted mixes than the actual mix. I'm sure this is a similar realization for many of the contributors.

I wonder if there'd be a method, going forward, to using a file transfer method that would be far more lossless so that the mixes submitted would be given an all around fairer shake? Depending on my clients, I either submit mixes via WeTransfer or Box.net, as they are free, smooth, and offer the best quality file transfer that I'e used so far.

This wasn't meant as a complaint or "rant". Simply an observation. And I'd throw my hat into the ring to help out to make something like this happen next go around if anyone is interested.
