Lack of lifeforms involved in the process = "lifeless"

aside all the acoustics and engineering, my work suffers from a
somewhat subtle and minor quality deffeciency. that makes such a
difference that my stuff comes off as cheap sounding.

Like the the software instruments being cheap imitations of
real instruments. You're not actually creating much new
in the form of music, just copying old data from several
files into new ones. There's not been any element of sound
until after it's played back.

Im not looking
for a good sounding setup, im aiming for an excellent sounding setup.
some transparency and less masking before the mix(not totally
eliminated, thats an engineering tc-nique)
just some clarity in my music.

Where did things go wrong ? Try incorporating some
elements you used before you had all the VST's etc.
Music should be played by players not a computer.

Its hard to explain...
