As far as those factors are concerned the MP3 file should be nearly identical to the original. Adjusting those things will get you farther away from the original sound and this is probably why you don't like the result. There may be some loss of clarity and some distortion added by MP3 encoding. There isn't much you can do about that in any software. Do you have the original files to compare to the MP3 files so you can hear what the difference is? It's probably not much different at all. ... then again, if you had the original files you wouldn't need to be working with the MP3 versions.
