Lightbulb Guitar Recordings (Instrumental/Acoustic/Fingerstyle)

Hello, this is my first attempt at home recording, it's an acoustic/instrumental EP which took me a couple of months to make as I was learning the software as well as the whole process which was quite fun. I recorded the guitar parts first (which are old and new ideas) then added the instruments on Cakewalk. Feedback is welcome, I know rhythm is a bit off on some parts but overall I enjoyed how this turned out. Midi parts were done on PC keyboard.



After I finished the album I kind of switched styles (slapping/fingerstyle) and recorded another song in classical guitar with added acoustic guitar leads:

Those samples sound most excellent, and a first attempt at that

I can't wait to hear more!

Interesting... I never thought I'd see anything related to ASMR here. Very cool.

Thanks, maybe my songs do not have as much of asmr effect as other methods but was aiming for relaxing/chill sounds on this EP that is why I named it as such.

Lots to listen to but enjoyable, nevertheless.
I like your work overall.
As for suggestions/advice... to my taste the intro of the first track is really ruined by the almost total lack of timing.
Get that sorted and you have a really nice song there.

Sounds like synthesized instruments rather than actual ones. Is that true or at least the intent.
