I just control the volume levels and specify which instrument to use, which note to play it in, and how long to play it for.

There's more to it than simply putting midi files over the instruments; you have to be able to utilize your virtual instruments in such a way that they are able to sound realistic and convincing using whatever means you have. If your VSTi's are good enough, they should have enough options to alter the sound of your instruments to a point in which you can make them sound realistic, in addition to maybe some external programs and plugins that can help (and these options go FAR beyond simply messing with the volume levels). What you're using can make a difference too, considering using EWQLSO Gold is much different from using some silly soundfonts (of course maybe even those can be tweaked correctly).

Practice makes perfect, dawg.

However using soundfonts is NOT a lost cause. :)
