That has been my experience also -- the PGMusic demosongs are NOT tweaked or made to sound better via "outside" methods.

However, there may be a setting somewhere that is causing your rendered songs to sound differently and that's where the importance of you coming back here and better defining what it is that is different about your own songs is going to help clear this up. This could be anything from a gain staging problem, easily rectified with some settings changes and better understanding of how to do that, to perhaps selecting the wrong Style file for the task at hand and ending up with some undesired "extra" notes in your chords. Or any one of several other things.

For the record, my own results come out sounding very much as rich and full as the PGMusic Demo Songs do, after understanding and using some of the settings for soundcard, DXi Rendering, the BB mixer, etc. and I don't typically have to change settings from song to song in order to have that happen.
