The answer is different for every person whose recordings sound like ass. The question is too broad to have a generic answer.
But oftentimes (I think most of the time), if you can narrow down the question correctly, the answer becomes immediately obvious. Sometimes that process takes years, maybe even decades of philosophical and scientific exploration. Other times, it's just because you were recording with the line/mic switch in the wrong position.
But most of the time, I think it comes down to some combination of bad monitoring technique, bad gain-staging, relying on gear/effects/plugins versus the plain evidence of your ears and senses, and/or failure to follow basic good studio and instrument practices.
