Today I found myself lost in the sound of "Daj' - count a new bag now im better" by CLOAK. The mood is intense and moody, perfectly matching my own emotions. The visual atmosphere is dark and brooding, with the aesthetic of the track reminding me of a rainy night in a smoky bar. I can almost feel the cool mist on my face and hear the clinking of glasses mixed with the deep bass of the song. This track takes me to a place where I can let go and lose myself in the music. The outfit/setting that comes to mind is a leather jacket and dark sunglasses, adding to the overall aesthetic of this track.
🎛️ Solana Conejo's engineer notes
As I begin to work on this track by Dajai, I immediately notice the delivery and flow of his vocals. He has a strong and confident cadence that really carries the song. The lyric "count a new bag now im better" is particularly striking due to its emphasis and placement in the mix.
One of the most notable production elements in this track is the use of vocal doubles and ad-libs. These additions really help to enhance the overall sound and create a more dynamic and engaging listening experience.
In terms of gear, I'm using a Neumann U87 for recording vocals, which is a classic choice for capturing the nuances of a singer's performance. Additionally, I've incorporated some subtle reverb and delay effects to add depth and space to the mix. Overall, Dajai's approach works technically because he has a strong sense of melody and rhythm, and his vocal delivery is consistently on point. The use of doubles and ad-libs adds variety and interest to the track, while the gear choices provide a solid foundation for the mix.
