@debs: Okay, so she's a little weird. Gotta say a special thank you to @erbaer because this was the song that FINALLY got me to use Cubase for the first time (it had bossa nova samples). Thank you also to @artie, @kissiejr, @bxphane, @cowex for making the comments that made this song!
I'll untangle all my questions eventually (mixing, buses, stereo/mono audio, why are these so many options on exporting, do I really have to set the output on every track so I can hear it? that feels stupid. how do I set the recording level when I’m using a built-in mic? i feel like takes happen automatically and don't delete? is everything i record saved outside of the DAW somewhere?). I'm just glad I pushed through and managed to actually record and export because that was the hard part. 😀
I apologize to any and all #Spanish speakers because I wasn't picky about making it accurate.
Lyrics
"Spanish"
VERSE Diga me que quieres mi amor ¿Por qué lloras cada mañana cuando te ves el sol?
Tienes la cabeza en tu cama es el momentito mi vida para el dia
CHORUS Jugo de naranja Usted venga conmigo Gallina de saturna Obscura en los sueños
Junto escribimos Un poema de palabras Genial y guapo como Ojos y ovejas
VERSE Diga me que quieres mi amor ¿Por qué lloras cada noche cuando te ves las sombras?
Tienes la cabeza en tu cama es el momentito mi vida por dormir
CHORUS La vaca grande saltó Sobre las estrellas El gato azul vola con Todas las cuchillas
Los cencerros y el violin Estan in armonías Entonces, no llores, querida niña
English VERSE Tell me what you want, my love Why do you cry each morning when you see the sun? Your head is in your bed Now is the time, dear one, for the day
CHORUS Orange juice you, Sir, are coming with me hen of Saturn dark in the dreams
Together we will write A poem of words Cool and cute Like eyes and sheep
VERSE Tell me want you want, my love Why do you cry each night when you see the shadows? Your head is in your bed Now is the time, dear one, to sleep
CHORUS The big cow jumps over the stars The blue cat flies with all the dishes The cowbells and the violin are in harmony So don't cry, my child

That acrostic almost snuck past me.
You should put EVEN more cowbells !
That baby noise sample is wild
Ooo very juicy and fruity and aromatic!
I love the rhythm! Is that bossa nova or samba? I can never tell.
As it turns out, it was bossa nova! 😂
Oh, sweet! This has such a chill vibe. Also +1 for making your own samples ... Gotta say this is a WHOLE heckuva lot more put otgether than my first tune in Cubase - I was so lost...
