sound in youtube really bad
 

Hi everyone,
I use a canon XH A1s with a condenser mic.
Mix the lot in FCP6 , it still sounds fine, sometimes I adjust the levels a bit in soundpro , compress it in compressor, it still sounds fine. The moment youtube gets it it sounds really floppy en rough.
I use lowshlve filter and take out a lot of the low's but still it is brutal. I tried another mic, same. I ve set the audio to -12 db, switched on mic att. It all does not make a difference .
Anyone ???

Can we have a link to a sample?

If it's fine before it hits youtube and not afterwards, surely it must be something with youtube, mustn't it - or with what you're giving it to them as?

From Youtube handbook:
