Analog Heart & Hybrid Precision: SSL, Neve & Tascam 388 Mojo | Mastering & Mixing

Hi, I'm Fer de la Zerda, a mixing/mastering engineer and multi-instrumentalist based in Santa Cruz.

My approach is simple: I give your music the analog weight and dimension that plugins alone can't achieve, while maintaining the modern precision the market demands.

I work with a curated hybrid system. Your music gets that classic studio 'glue' from my SSL BiG SiX, real tape saturation via Neve 542 modules, and high-end EQ with WesAudio. For unique Lo-Fi textures, I use my vintage Tascam 388 (Mac DeMarco style) to add organic color to drums and bass.

Why work with me?

Professional Training: Graduated from AEA Audio Academy (endorsed by Orión Argentina) and trained in production workshops with Adán Jodorowsky.

Real Experience: I create advertising jingles daily under pressure, ensuring fast turnarounds and commercial standards. I also produce independent artists and my own band, Bordeaux.

High-End Remote Gear: For mastering, I combine my analog EQs with Access Analog technology (Neve MBP, Bettermaker) to ensure your track competes in volume and clarity with major releases.

I don't just mix; I understand music as a guitarist and composer. Let's talk about your project and give it that 'expensive,' 3D sound you're looking for.
