You can try plugins like Vintage Warmer...
But ideally you want to capture a better sound from the start.
That means mic/pre-amp, positioning, the room, and A/D.
The 4040 isn't bad... but ATs typically arean't the 'warmest' sounding mics. Pickup another mic that sounds a bit darker/warmer.
Try to further define what's missing/lacking/etc...
Determine what's causing your projects to sound 'sterile'.
Keep in mind that arrangement can also affect the mix.
Listen to commercial projects that sound good to you... and compare to your projects.
