The Audio Engineer
Of The Pros

"Victor Guidera has been the secret to Drumeo’s sound for the past 10 years."
- JARED FALK FROM DRUMEO

LETTER FROM VICTOR GUIDERA:

Through Drumeo, Guitareo, and Pianote, I’ve spent the past 10 years designing studios, setting up and miking instruments, and recording many of the most influential musicians in the world including Grammy Award winners, platinum record artists, and touring artists who are continuously playing sold-out stadium shows around the world.

And now, for the first time ever… I’m offering musicians (like you) the chance to create your own amazing studio recordings regardless of your budget, equipment, studio setup -- even if you’ve never recorded before.

So many musicians have all the skills they need to share amazing musical ideas with the world. Maybe you enjoy playing-along to your favorite songs, but have never recorded anything that you’re really proud of. Or maybe you’ve recorded your own songs and performances before, but you just couldn’t get it to sound like you actually played.

Maybe you think that studio-quality recordings are reserved for tech-savvy musicians with massive recording budgets or professional audio engineers, but that couldn’t be further from the truth!

Recording amazing music doesn’t need to feel scary & complicated… and that’s why I’ve created Recordeo, where you’ll learn how to:

  • Set up ANY instrument and improve your sound, starting from the source…
  • Get the most out of your microphones, recording, and mixing without all the guesswork…
  • Adjust your instrument sound for any set up, venue, genre, or whatever else you need…


I’ll help you overcome the fear of technology that keeps musicians from sharing their musical ideas -- and you’ll see that you are worthy of being recorded and that your musical ideas can make a difference in the world around you.

It’s all about helping you MAKE MUSIC instead of getting frustrated with software and acoustics.

Much like Drumeo, Guitareo, and Pianote -- this membership site is going to continue to grow in value year after year -- continuously educating, inspiring, and empowering you with the best advice in the fast-changing tech world of audio recording and mixing.

When you join today as a launch-member, you’ll get a massive discount on your annual plan -- and your discount will be grandfathered into your membership rate for as long as you remain a member.

So if you’re interested in making amazing recordings, this is your chance. Sign up on this page and I’ll see you in the online members area!

What People Are Saying...

...about Victor and his drum sounds.

Todd Sucherman (Drummer for Styx)

"If I ever do a solo record, I hope my toms sound like they did that day at Drumeo."

My experience with Victor Guidera at Drumeo was smooth and easy, the way it should be! We got our sounds rather quickly which is again how it should be. If I show up with great sounding gear that’s easy for me to tune up, it should just be a matter of putting up the mics and capturing what’s there. Victor had the mics of my choice (Audix) and we were off to the races straight away.

Victor got a very natural sound. The cymbals were at once dark and smokey but with gorgeous crystalline highs. The toms were the grand champions, each one ringing and singing true. If I ever do a solo record, I hope my toms sound like they did that day at Drumeo.

I know Victor has to deal with so many different types of drums, heads, cymbals, sizes, genres of music, and different players and personalities. I’d wholeheartedly recommend him for any musical situation. The pleasure was all mine.

Jonathan Moffett (Drummer for Michael Jackson)

"...he translated every figure I expressed through my performances in every aspect of the kit."

I worked with Victor while recording at Drumeo and everything sounded really great. There was clarity in the cymbals element of my drums, and in the actual drums themselves, and he translated every figure I expressed through my performances in every aspect of the kit.

Victor did a truly great job with his expertise in miking my kit and recording the drums. He was very easy to work with and I gladly recommend Victor to anyone who is looking for an engineer to give them the fine clarity and character to their drum kit.

Rich Redmond (Drummer for Jason Aldean)

"Victor is a total pro who knows his stuff."

Victor is a total pro who knows his stuff. We have done projects together in the studio and on the stage. His knowledge of production, editing and mixing is vast and he is a pleasure to work with.

Stanton Moore (Drummer for Galactic)

"I’ve received lots of great comments and compliments on the sound of my drums..."

I would definitely recommend Victor as an authority on recorded drum sounds. He did a great job on my Drumeo lesson and I’ve received lots of great comments and compliments on the sound of my drums in that video. Victor was great to work with and made my experience at Drumeo effortless and enjoyable. I hope to work with him again soon!

Mark McLean (Drummer for George Michael)

"...these are some of the best drum sounds I’ve had the pleasure of recording."

I had the pleasure of working with Victor at Drumeo. The drum sounds and overall mix is incredible. In fact, these are some of the best drum sounds I’ve had the pleasure of recording. Victor knows exactly what he’s doing when it comes to recording drums and is very easy to work with. I’m looking forward to the next opportunity.

Michael Schack (Drummer for Netsky)

"In these days of overflowing social media posts, a good sound and good image makes the difference..."

I’ve been a Drumeo studio guest multiple times and every single visit sounded like an album. Recordeo captain Victor Guidera has, in addition to experience, the most important feature an engineer should have: good ears. Mixing audio for video is truly a craft, especially when going live.

In these days of overflowing social media posts, a good sound and good image makes the difference -- and Captain Guidera has been my personal teacher on video since my early days with Drumeo, now more than five years ago. I’ve learned a lot, which has taken me on the path of self-produced clips. Everyone deserves the perfect capturing of their performance.

Ben Sesar (Drummer for Brad Paisley)

"The drums sounded HUGE - not only in the control room, but on my computer when I watched back later."

I was amazed at the set up over at Drumeo. These guys had their studio dialed in. The drums sounded HUGE - not only in the control room, but on my computer when I watched back later. This is not an easy thing to achieve, especially when you consider I wasn’t even on my own kit.

Victor is what I would consider a textbook pro: He knows his studio, knows his room, and in the ‘time is money’ world of professional recording, I would definitely recommend him as a guy who can work quickly to get great sounds. In addition to that, he is relaxed, patient, and accommodating. It was quite early when I got in there. We had played a show the night before and I had ‘early morning hands’. Victor and the crew were patient, lighthearted, and stuck with me until I got warm and comfortable. Who could ask for anything more than that?

Mark Guiliana (Drummer for David Bowie)

"We were all set up and got great sounds in no time!"

I’m grateful that I had the chance to work with Victor during my trip to Drumeo. We were all set up and got great sounds in no time! He was very accommodating and captured the drums exactly as they sounded in the room - very natural, articulate and warm. I hope to get the chance to work with him again soon.
