Thanks for the advice and praise! I suppose the mix sounded a bit MIDI-ish because it was all played in using a MIDI keyboard. I did actually perform most if not all of the piano parts, though, so I don't know why it doesn't sound humanised at all. I also tried to get humanisation in the other instruments through recording them, so I suppose next time I'll try to add more expression and thought into each string or woodwind part and their phrase lengths and so on.
As for the drums, I don't really know exactly what happened in that regard. ^^; I acquired new samples recently (free ones, but better quality than standard crappy Mixcraft defaults I was using) and I spent a very long time on the velocities to try and get it to sound decent. It was mostly a learning exercise for programming drums, so I think it was at least a partial success for a first time job.
