Thank you, Bob.

I should have tried to be clearer. Example, for the past 3 months I've been trying to get a vocal track I can stand for an upbeat song I really like. When I pull the instruments back or thin them out (and leaving the bass in is a great suggestion), my voice sounds like I would normally perform a song. I'm a solo, mostly sparse fingerpicking guitarist, so there's not a lot to sing over. When I take that vocal track and plug in a drum kit and more rousing instruments, I sound like a mouse.

I think I have enough power to carry an upbeat song, but in the studio context, I'm having problems. Not a perfect example, take James Taylor's voice in "Sweet Baby James" or pretty much any of his early works, then stick it in a fuller band situation.
