Who?

Brazilian | 1997

Tales Ferreira (aka untilde or un~) is a multidisciplinary artist specialized in sound trackers, virtual modular synthesis and mastering.

Main tools: Renoise, VCV Rack, Reaper and Ozone RX 10. However, also experienced with Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, Pure Data and many others.

Mastering Style

My mastering is focused on Jungle, Breakcore, Drum n Bass, IDM and Electro. However, I use a set of tools that are suitable for pretty much any style. Feel free to ask.

I prefer an "oldschool" approach to mastering work, focusing on dynamic but warm masters that will translate well into cassette and other physical media. This means I avoid clipping and overcompressing, sticking to lower LUFS values (from -14 LUFS-I to -10 LUFS).

However, I still believe a song should be as loud as it needs to be in order to sound good. LUFS values are just references and can (and should) be disobeyed when necessary. Music making rules are meant to be broken - and I'll be happy to be your accomplice if that's needed.

Plugins

EQing is done through Fab Filter Pro-Q 4 and a set of analog modeled plugins. Some examples include Massive and Poseidon equalizers (Pulsar DSP), Tube Culture and Exciter (Arturia), Satin (u-he) and many other excellent pieces of software. For compression, Multiplicity and TrackComp (DMGAudio). The chain ends with my favorite limiter, Limitless (DMG Audio), a multiband workhorse I could spend hours talking about.
