- Latin Grammy winning engineer and producer who's worked with Lenine, Maria Gadú, Maria Bethania, Eek-a-Mouse, etc. - I'll edit, tune, mix and master your song!
- I do remote mixing and mastering from my personal studio in São Paulo, BR.
- In the music business since 2002, mixing professionally since 2007.
- My musical background ranges from pop, to classical, to rock, to hip-hop, singers/songwriters, folk music, jazz, instrumental, and dub/reggae!
- I mix almost entirely in-the-box, but I do have a few hardware compressors and preamps for spicing up tracks and my delay throws and effects are done using hardware delays with an external controller for automating rides.
- My room is fairly well-treated, quite dry, and I use Genelec 8040b monitors and Yamaha NS10s, as well as Beyerdynamic and Audio-Technica headphones as references.
- The client is able to listen to the session in real-time via streaming.
I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

Interview with Diogo Guedes
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I was the recording engineer for the album Lenine - Em Transito. It was special because it was the first time I got nominated for a Latin Grammy, and we won!!! I'm super proud of that, even though awards are not my main driving force.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital for the flexibility and affordability.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I'll give something that YOU will like. I try not to please the audience, but the artist.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Making music happen, and helping careers take off.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That no formal training is needed.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Where do you think this music will be played at? Clubs, festivals, JBL boomboxes? Who do you think you sound like?
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Macbook, headphones, and a good interface. I only need 3.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've playing guitar professionally since 2002, and I have been mixing professionally since 2007. Before that I would work in my own projects as an engineer.

A: All kinds.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Mixing, for sure.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I try to bring out what strikes me the most when I listen to it the first time. I tend to make an image in my head, make up a visual scenery and then mix from that.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I tipically listen in various references to make sure music can translate in every playback situation.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Minimal approach to gear. To me it's all about human touch.

A: Andrew Scheps, Jaycen Joshua, Greg Wells, Dr Dre.
