I use Cubase VST (version 5.0, I think), and then master my mixes with a Steinberg "Master Unit" program that came with a version of Cubasis I purchased prior to acquiring Cubase.

Master Unit works well enough for tidying up beginnings & endings, bass, brilliance & stereo spread, and burning to CD... however, it seems the overall volume level of the finished product is pretty low (even cranking the volume levels on Master Unit, normalizing etc).

Any suggestions on how I can get a louder finished product?

Besides turning up the volume on playback!?
 
Try using some compression on the master track and then using the make-up gain to give it somewhat of a fuller sound.

You may have to experiment with this a bit, for as I cant just tell you to use certain settings on a compressor.

Hope this helps.
