crackling & popping in exported Cubase LE projects with TASCAM us 122 L

[hoody]

hi there!
I'm sure this might already be a thread, if so, please direct me to it, cuz I can't find it!
I'm the typical cubase LE + Tascam US 122L user. I've been with this system for a long time now, and very often get the same problem:
High signal recordings, even when they run smoothly while still on cubase, will crackle pop, fuzz and distort when exported to Mp3 or WAv or any other format LE provides.
my conclusions are towards the poor/medium quality of my system (light version of program, poor sound interface) but is there ANY WAY I can get something neat out of my recordings without playing/singing everything pianissimo? Tried varying the quality of Hz, bit, or just switching the "quality" toggle on export to "medium" to no prevail...

thanks for ANY suggestions!!!

cheers
robin

Maybe your final mix is too loud. Select every channel in the mixer and bring then all down the same amount.
