if you keep it as an acid project you don't have to "process" the file every time you work on it.

if you must "process" it, it's best to always render to wav and not mp3. then you won't have this problem.

also, it's better to use one-shots instead of loops, because Acid will time-stretch loops on the fly (even if the project tempo and loop's tempo are the same), causing some loss of audio quality.

Yeah I understand that - any ideas about improving this audio that I'm left with though?

EQ is probably your best bet on improving the file you have.

But Ally I'm not sure what you mean when you say "through each iteration of working on it". Are you writing a track in Acid (with separate tracks for drums, guitar, bass, vox etc etc), or are you just modifying a single audio file (just a stereo wav/mp3 file for example) using Acid?

No it's a project that's required to be rendered, worked, rendered, worked. That's why the problem has manifested..
