Thank you Diki. I don't mind suggestions, not at all. I'm here to take advise and to ask questions, otherwise what's the point?

I hear you, and you are totally right with your observations, but at this point I was more focused on getting the tracks recorded, the timing to be right, and the rest fell out of focus. Once I master this DAW, that will also be important, of course, but for now I was like a kid who's home built kite finally took off flying.
If you'd like you could tweak the SMF, and load it back here.
