Antoine Michaud
Hi I’m Antoine Michaud - ambient guitar artist on Youtube, touring musician for Canadian progressive rock band Mystery, and founder of Ambient Guitar Academy.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed while trying to record your ambient guitar music?
If any of those statements resonate with you, you probably are!
- You would like to record ambient guitar songs, but you know nothing about recording and mixing (and it's overwhelming).
- You once tried recording your guitar, but failed at it and wish it was easier.
- You are often trying to record your music, but it just sounds awful to you and you don't know what's wrong.
- If only you had the same audio quality as Antoine on Youtube you would be much more confident to release your own music.
Recording the crappy audio of your phone is not good enough.
If you want your music to sound good when you share it with others, we all know that the microphones from our phones or cameras are of poor quality to capture music. You can't use that if you want your music to sound great.
There are contradictions in the audio recording and mixing space
1 - Most posts are sponsored, whether it's on blogs, Youtube videos or websites. The companies want you to buy their gear, the audio teachers want you to purchase equipment through their affiliate links and so on. The more you search for what to buy on forums and websites, the more confused you get by the recommandations and all the options.
2 - There is a thousand ways to approach recording music. All of them are valid in their own way. But the more you consume content, the more you are exposed to contrasting methods.
'''Analog summing is the way to get the best recording sound!''
''Digital is better than analog these days!''
''Stock plugins are good!''
''Stock plugins are crap!''
3 - People overcomplicate recording & mixing. There are just a few things you have to master if you want great recordings and mixes. Most audio teachers who got degrees are so excited to talk about all those fancy techniques, but this is not what we need to record our ambient songs.
What's the point of learning more advanced techniques? We just want to simply record a track!
4 - No one talks about recording for ambient guitar. They will show you how to record drums, and vocals, but again, this is not what you're looking for! What about, specifically for ambient?
... And this is exactly why I made my course:

FAQ
I teach using Cubase in this course, but you can use whatever software you already have. All the basic functions and stock plugins used are also included in any other recording software.
Absolutely! This course is made for beginners who have never recorded before. If you don't even have a recording software, audio interface or microphones, I talk about them in the first module, and you can plan your purchases off of my real unsponsored recommandations.
I have many great videos in this course on essential principles to improve your sound (microphone placement, gain staging, optimal amp volumes, stereo balance tips, techniques to minimize noise, small EQ moves), so even if the content of this course remains for beginners, you can still learn a ton of useful tips on how to get a great ambient guitar recording sound!
No. I show MY method of recording ambient guitar songs on Youtube, which is through recording real amps and pedals. I only talk very briefly about using amp simulation.
