Lack of lifeforms involved in the process = "lifeless"

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.

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.
