Description

After a decade shaping hit records for Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Drake, and more, Dahi is stepping out into the spotlight. Join the Grammy-winning producer at Conway Studios as he deconstructs his genre-bending single ‘Find Me’ alongside world-renowned mix engineer David Wrench.

Dahi begins with an overview of his influences and songwriting approach. Learn how jamming and improvisation drive his creative process, and how he blends live sounds with VSTs to craft his signature sound. Dahi demonstrates how he uses Ableton both as an instrument and as a recording platform, capturing and manipulating sounds to create bold new sounds. He also explores his collaboration with co-writer and vocalist Moses Sumney, whose voice blends seamlessly with Dahi’s sonic universe.

Album mixer David Wrench joins in from Paris for a closer look at the mixing process for the record. The Welsh engineer unpacks his approach to monitoring and critical listening, all while demonstrating signature techniques like multiband compression, low-end maximization, and detailed vocal automation.
