One other thing, obvious to some, but maybe not to others.
When using a reference track, it's important to make sure to not have the effects on your song affect the reference. Otherwise it is futile. So if you import the reference track to your project, make sure that track is not altered by the main out effects.
You want that one to sound as original sounding as possible.

Like I said, pretty obvious, but something to check.
I've been caught by things like this that appeared obvious afterwards.
Doubt I'm alone here.
