| It's the arrangement. It's not very "soulful" or "expressive" at all. Technically, it's very sound and very well played but there's absolutely no emotional content whatsoever. That can NOT be mixed in.
The instrments themselves are pretty bland as well. Again, technically, they sound great. The recording is great, but emotion comes from the performance 1st...recording a distant 2nd....and mix last.
I don't hear much note velocity variation. That has a LOT to do with emotion too. |
