Try using the effects section to thicken the sound of the drums and Bass. Change the MAXX EQ settings by boosting bass and / or treble to suit your test. Ensure you using Factory sounds in the trax and not the GM sounds. And lastly if you really want a thicker sound, try doubling tracks with different instruments to make the sound richer.

its automation, my bad...

Automation are midid CC's that vary over the time of the track to real time influence the instrument, like filter cutoff lofts and other parameters.. its the things happening in a midi track making it sound so good.. Its also part of the reason why factory styles often sound so good...

But if you are a beginner, stay away from this... its quite high end...
