Hi everyone

This may be a strange question, as I'm completely new to editing and it may just be a question of my having to learn EQ and other techniques, but the sound I am getting from my VSTs seems pretty tinny. It's okay through good headphones, but awful through my computer speakers and also in the audio mixdown. When I play it next to other music, it sounds like it's coming out of an old transistor radio.

I'm using Berlin Orchestra from Orchestral Tools, which seems to be an amazing set of samples, but still getting this issue.

So, is this normal, and is it a question of learning production? Or does it sound like there's an issue with my setup somewhere?

If it's normal, I'm at a bit of a disadvantage, as I'm more of a composer and have little aptitude for technical production. I have tried playing around with the EQ for ages, but am not managing to improve the sound much. How do other people in my position manage this? Is it normal to have composers and producers working together so each works on a piece using their natural strengths? If so, how do these collaborations come about and where might I look to find someone suitable?

Sorry if these are all very basic things that most people already know.....

The track is here (it’s my first ever orchestrated track, so I’m not sure, but it does seem to sound okay through good headphones in Cubase itself, but not in the mixdown). - http://heartfulhealing.co.uk/wp-cont...-version-1.wav

What headphones are you using?
Some exaggerate frequencies what makes EQ decisions hard.
