A lot of people have this problem. There are a lot of things you can do:

-Add Effects (e.g. Reverb, Equalizer, Delay)
-Edit the way the sample sounds (or change some of the controls on the device)
-Layer instruments (get more than one instrument to play the same thing, best done by outting all relative devices into a Combinator. For example, you could put two different types of strings and a double bass all into a combinator (but you'd have to turn the instrument for the double bass down a couple of octaves)

Hope this helps.

I find that using the scream device helps, but equalising is very important, but I can't give you any information on how to use it as it is dependant on the sample you are using and the other instuments in the mix.

The best thing you can do is post the .rns file and let people have a look.
