If you know of means of exporting in any DAW that go beyond of 
what one would expect / that are particulary clever in some way

I would be hesistant to add a Freewheeling checkbox to the export

see what happens.

It's not just for increasing loudness, it can bring out details.
Doesn't matter if the material is softsynth-based or not.
