A short tutorial on how producer Burial uses sampling, texture/foley, vocal samples, reese basslines, and wonky grooves. Try or buy Cableguys plugins: www.cableguys....
This is gonna sound controversial but I would say this almost out-Burials Burial. His own music kinda gets obsessed with its soundscape a bit much, at least speaking for myself, this extremely short demo captures the aspects from Burial's music that I love which is mostly found in his earlier works.
You haven't looked very far. 'Hollow Ground Productions' does the absolute most S-tier burial dive into his techniques and ways to capture his iconic style
Are you joking or spitting facts because if that’s real that is so cool. It reminds of this producer named qtip from a tribe called quest. He used to make these things called pause tapes. Where chop up a sample that way and record it to tape to create a full loop. Watch the channel digging the greats he explains in better detail.
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.
@@VingulNew versions of Audacity are making it constantly closer to being a DAW. I'd still rather use Reaper for making music, but now also Audacity (finally) has a beat grid and it's possible to use effects plugins real-time :D
@@22222Sandman22222 plugins, eh? I last used Audacity only a couple of months ago (earlier today if counting just some splicing, I still use it to make my own samples in that way) and all I remember are the default FX things that seriously deteriorate sound quality. I tried making entire tracks using samples in Audacity and trying Reaper (now also in combination with an Elektron Digitakt) was a serious game changer. Can’t believe I spent so much time on a couple of Audacity tracks… lol
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.
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
That’s exactly what I did when I was younger! Used audacity to create Music from samples! Before that when I was WAY younger! I had 8 different windows from the Media Player opened on Win98 and one played the beat while others had one shots in it which I triggered via Mouseclick on the play Button 😂
It's what I used to do when I was 15 and only had Audacity to work with. Apparently that unnecessary labour and basic ambience makes one a genius, who knew? This short is described as a good recreation, so why is it that when we look at the beat that was actually created, everything is on at least a 16th, bar some deviation from the startup of the sample itself. I'm starting to develop a real distaste for this idea that production techniques can define a artist. Baking a cake is simple, yet here when we find good cake, we must believe it was individually constructed molecule by molecule, crumb by crumb, by a baking god. Art is in the mind, not the brushstrokes.
One of my most infamous comments on Instagram is a comment stating how nobody will notice if you're 1 ms off and that if you don't use a grid you'll be just fine by using your ears. All the replies are like "hur dur ur music probably sounds like shit"
Rumors say that the early Burial stuff has been produced in Sound Forge 6.0. It's possible to quantize, using markers (a.k.a. cues), but that old version of SF didn't support multi-track. You need to be a really smart geek to produce music that way.
Él nunca ha usado una daw como tú las conoces actualmente,pero sí las desarrolladas en esa época,mucho más simples pero muy caras e inalcanzables para alguna gente y tampoco había internet ni samples como algo habitual.Por tal motivo se buscaban otros recursos. Simplemente han creado un mito por la poca creatividad bajo el esfuerzo que regala la tecnología actual.
I mean he used a DAW in the sense that he was digitally chopping and sequencing samples. It's more he didn't use quantize which is pretty standard for all production except those using a step sequencer, or tracker. You can also get this effect if you use a step sequencer, or tracker if you just cut the samples in a sloppy way. It's not really anything unusual, but pretty much standard practice.
pfff noobs that need a tutorial to make burial tracks, it comes very natural to me, i use reason and everything comes out like a burial track. its amazing. it also used a lot for burial hip hop beats.
I place without a grid for half the notes every time. I came from playing piano so not having any feel with where my notes were placed always bothered me. Not a fan of quantization when I write
Yup, ppl try to replicate but they really can’t get close. It’s more than just production. Has a lot to do with mixing as well which is where Kode 9 comes in.
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
THE BEST, and on top of all it's a short ❤

Burial is a genius
So we are redefining the word genius nowadays... ey...
Burial sucks
@@mjbarenyiWho do you listen to?
@@HAZARDOUS88 Dolly Parton and GG Allin.
@@mjbarenyi Only one of those is worth listening to and the other threw his shit at people.
Bro didn't use a daw, he just scratched the sounds into the vinyl freehand

Absolutely, 100%! This is more of an "inspired by" than a straight-up recreation 👍
@@Cableguyssince he just used an audio editor... that means i can definitely finish a song using Audacity... if i used my free time properly...
@@aykarainit will sound wack though, try Reaper. Believe me, I tried it lol

Yoooo stop sharing the sauce smfh is nothing sacred
Your breakdowns are unparalleled, keep it up man!
Never heard of burial. I’m stoked!
enjoy the ride
Same!
I'm pretty stoked that I'd never heard of him 'til now too!
If not for this vid, one day I might have accidentally played one of his songs! 😁
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.
Yes, literally me. I was dropping DnB and Gabber tracks in 2001 using Audacity.
😂 I am that old.
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
Now we have: Future Garage/Coding Music/MusicLab/Downtempo music for Studying, etc
Mannn I remember playing mass effect listening to Untrue on repeat over and over and over. So nostalgic indeed.
So technically he still used the DAW.
That’s exactly what I did when I was younger! Used audacity to create Music from samples!

using an audio editor crazy
it's sorta common among older uk producers, i remember a rusko dubstep tutorial where he makes the whole tune in sony acid

PLEASE RELEASE THIS SONG, it’s so good 🔥
He sampled guns reloading for the hihats
Your case studies are unrivaled
Burial Mythical Nasty Off the Grid Subbass.
Resurrected my interest.
this needs a full video
wtf that turned out so good so quick
First time I've heard untrue was literally a whole world opening up for me
Damn on the cable guys channel? Dope.
You should finish this track! It is so 🔥
I need to hear the full version of that final track!
I bet he can make music on excel sheets
Lmao this channel is so class bro wtf
i been telling my friends turn off that grid for years. Thanks for firming it up!
And there are some youtubers who own all the gears and daws and still making piece of turd
well i like better the music burial did without the grid. When he used a daw, isnt as special
this is exactly how I made my first beat ever with cool edit 20years ago
lol a dj’s worst nightmare
Totally 😅
Sounds very much like Burial indeed! I also think his arrangements are very creative and unique.
I used COOL EDIT PRO 2 for a first few years. No vsts, no samples 😁 those was the days🤣
I still use Audacity but my first few beats were made on a tape recorder 😅
What plugin us shown when youre talking about texture?
It's ShaperBox 3's NoiseShaper 👍
That’s how I make beats
“A great way to build a moody sonic pallet 😊😌🇬🇧”
The Beat:
👹⚫️💀🧿👁️🗨️🥁🪘🥁🪘▪️◼️
Where did you get the sounds from (Vinyl crackle etc)
I like it. Thanks for the tips!
what name is that texture plugin?
@@tastelikesugar ShaperBox’s NoiseShaper
i used to make beats in sound forge before i discovered daws :P
burial was my first inspiration. most of my 2013 tracks are heavily burial inspired, especially the song "shrapnel"
hello fellow musician lol, im gonna go and do a deep discography dive on you cuz thats how my curiosity works.
@@thepinktreeclub same, fellow musician. When I have time ;)
Well I know what I'm listening to today!
what song is this ?
Just listen to the whole "Untrue" album
this is a perfect demo song
A wonderful short...definitely full of inspiring information! :)
one of the best artists of all time
Pro Tip: sample shoes in a washing machine 😎
That drum is nasty. Love it.

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 !!

Anyone know what he’s using for the texture library? I need something like that
It's ShaperBox 3's NoiseShaper 👍
@@Cableguys nice, might check it out just for the noise librairy 😅
Mythically iconic. 😂 I love the English and their extensive use of superlatives. But thanks, nice one.

It's funny that I almost making beat that identical with what he made some song like that, but with DAW like FL.
Burial also used the Jeskola Buzz modular tracker program, which is still available if you wanr to check it out
Where can I get this beat?
That groove sounds like someone tripping over their own feet. Works well for an unsettling vibe, I suppose xD
Crazy that some people call this complex music and complex skills
What I will never understand is how on Cableguys channel daw is used the one that doesn’t work well with cableguys…🤷🤦
He didn't really use Soundforge, and the person behind it was Four Tet.
ah I remember the days of using audacity to make tunes. Oh how shit they were but Burial on the other hand... Maestro.
dark and moody burial pallette:
every h&m dressing room:
Burial is one of the most overrated artists I've ever listened to. I couldn't even listen to one album. Absolutely nothing.
It’s so funny that this is popping up, he has this one song on GTA and I just be vibing
That's basically the drum loop from Untrue, nice
Buhr-ial not Bair-ial. You dont say bary, you say bury. UH NOT A!
pfff noobs that need a tutorial to make burial tracks, it comes very natural to me, i use reason and everything comes out like a burial track. its amazing. it also used a lot for burial hip hop beats.
How do you process a voice to get it sounding as dark and sexy as you did in this video? That was amazing
If you like burial , you should check out pullahs aswell
I don't care for whatever kind of "music" that is.
Never heard of burial! Any recs??
An audio editor is a digital audio workstation, lots of people used to work like this b4 modern daws tbh
imitating someone is not the point. find your own ways to be creative.
Lmao my first few beats I made, I didn't use the grid at all cause I didn't really know how and man! It was tedious asf
I place without a grid for half the notes every time. I came from playing piano so not having any feel with where my notes were placed always bothered me. Not a fan of quantization when I write
Grids are for gays.
NO Quantize No Quantize No Quantize‼️
“mythically iconic” is a tautology brother
what's the name of this sample library?
people fighting over what's the best daw and this dude doesn't even used one 😂
Haha you guys actually did it
Nice ! Where did you get the vocal samples ??
Can you do SOPHIE next
Ooh yea i remember this guy, listened to him like 12 13 yrs ago
No DAW? Bro is the 2023 beethoven lol
not really a fan of super electronic music but I respect the principles
Love me some burial
DAW = Digital Audio Workstation
Cheeky use of the so u kno (overmono) sample lol
Oh that's how you get that sound that I don't like and makes me feel un easy
truely the Dark Souls of production
Oh he kind of sounds like cremation lily
Good luck beatmatching that
Anyone knows the track id ?
This is cool! You should do more videos like this about other producers
Could you maybe take a look at moderat:)
Nothing feels like a Burial track.
He is absolutely a founder of future garage. Another brilliant producer is vacant. Check him out if you've not already.
Yup, ppl try to replicate but they really can’t get close. It’s more than just production. Has a lot to do with mixing as well which is where Kode 9 comes in.
ONLY BURIAL CAN DO IT THOUGH
Famed hip hop producer Soleternity would compose his drums visually in axid pro like a Neanderthal! 😂 and he was better than all of US! 🤷🏽♂️
Like you notate drums, normally.
hm... so he used a daw
i sloppy on yo groove till i feel
Burial is amazing
