Burial's Production Techniques Explained

A short tutorial on how producer Burial uses sampling, texture/foley, vocal samples, reese basslines, and wonky grooves.

That’s honestly one of the best Burial re-creations I’ve heard, so hard to nail his sound but yours was so on point

[andrefick]

This is actually such a great demonstration for why burial is so great. Because this is probably one of the closest imitation of burial but it still feels so far away from what burial actually sounds like. Just shows how unique his sound really is.

Bro didn't use a daw, he just scratched the sounds into the vinyl freehand

[KUPHSER]

His first 2 albums are so nostalgic to me, All kinds of memories come flooding back when I hear them. Nothing else was like burial when he first came on the scene, legendary sound

[anthonyneumann]

Your breakdowns are unparalleled, keep it up man!

[intraum]

you figuring out the ‘secret sauce’ is genius, but honestly just makes me appreciate more how genius Burial is. it’s so difficult to create a truly unique voice

[PIONR]

PLEASE RELEASE THIS SONG, it’s so good 🔥

One of my favorite artists EVER. Loving him since 2010❤

He used Sony Sound Forge which, unlike most other audio editors, _DID_ have a form of quantisation (if you wanted it). Any selection could be halved, doubled or "jogged" forwards or back to the beginning or end of the current selection.

Sounds very much like Burial indeed! I also think his arrangements are very creative and unique.

burial was my first inspiration. most of my 2013 tracks are heavily burial inspired, especially the song "shrapnel"

[nosebluntvs]

First time I've heard untrue was literally a whole world opening up for me

[needspedBeast]

[hayasco]

you guys seriously need to start uploading the snippets you play at the end because i would seriously listen to this one it’s amazing !!

[mowamusicofficialfi]

You should finish this track! It is so 🔥

[damianb]

creating tracks on sound editing software - aud being the most obvious - is always fun. there's one effect that slows and bends the pitch too, it's great. you end up with unique takes.
