Cool song. That reminds me a lot of Waylon Jennings and the outlaw music he used to write.

On my buds, it sounded pretty decent. No real big issues.

Kinda wondering though why you decided to move from Cakewalk to Cubase. Years ago when I was first getting back into digital recording after a few years away due to reasons not pertinent here, I had both Cake and Cubase LE on my computer and decided to go with Cake.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
