GarageBand --> GameSalad Music Volume

I am working with my music now and I have completed my song that I wrote for my game, but the volume is not as loud as yours when I import my music track.
I'm using GarageBand just as a test to write my music. I have a full production studio with Reason 6, Cubase 5, some guitars and two keyboards. That being said, I know a little something about audio. I wanted to keep all my development on my MacBook, even the music. I did break down an install Reason 6 on my MacBook all my music was created using GarageBand.
I've exported out my song a few different times now using different parameters in GarageBand, but when I import the music I get the follow issue:
I've exported my song out about a dozen time now at the highest quality.
a. mp3
b. m4a
c. aif
I even ramped up the volume in GarageBand to 6.0dB and the volume of my songs when imported into GS sound the same. I am wondering if it is a GarageBand issue, a GameSalad issue or a me issue.
Can you offer any advise? I'm thinking about taking the audio from my MacBook over to my Lenovo ThinkPad music production laptop and play with the audio in SoundForge. The funny thing is, is that the song sounds good and loud during play back in GarageBand.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Over on the right side in Garageband, at the bottom of the program window, click the middle button. It's a blue circle with the letter "i" in it. Just above the buttons will be some drop menu options for "Input Source" and one for "Monitor" and a slider for "Recording Level" Make sure that "Recording Level" is turned up to at least 50% if not more. I usually hover around 70%
There is a check box for "Automatic Level Control" and you may try messing around with checking that option. I don't use that option personally, but if it works for you, then that's all the better.

I turned it off and my track sounds just how I want it in my game now. Now I know what to do if I use GarageBand in the future to create music for my game. Next time I might have to use my other computer (Windows 7) which I do all my music production on with all my audio tool.
