stevec - thanks for taking the time to listen to the song, and for your comments--both the compliments and the critiques are each helpful in their own way. The acoustic is recorded direct. I think it may sound thin because there's only one track. I've been researching and finding that the way to make it thicker is layering. The drums are purposely soft, because on my previous attempt at this song it was noted that they were too loud, too wet, too hard, etc. So it sounds like I'll need to record some more guitar tracks and work more on the drums.
