The sound of the songs would also be better of course, if I'd match the sound volume of each track exactly.


You seem to have it figured out pretty well. Yes, each midi softsynth has it own perception to the ear. I have a sweet-spot for Coyote Forte, but could be my jazz genre. However, I think you should not really be hearing anything different with the RD's as these are wav files and therefore do not interact with the midi synth.
