Mixing and Mastering

Diogo Guedes on SoundBetter

- 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.
