Hmmm This is really getting on my tits
Look i hate 2 sound like a toy, but how in gods name does burial make those heavinly sound waves he calls drum loops?
I litrelly cant nail it.
Im asuming he uses a basic kick and snare / side stick with a chopped up drum loop, correct me if im wrong.
What drum loops does he use? like jazz? funk? or wha?
Please help me im dieing here.
And just so u know. This drum style wont be used in similar choonage as burial, so dont think im a copy cat
Any Help will be greatly appreciated

Its not as complicated as it sounds. He just sampled a lot of vinyl 2-step garage beats. Due both to his chopping them up, and his shoddy equipment, it sounds like it does. (And keep in mind he made the records back in 1999/2000-2002, and didn't drop them until years later).
I can't remember the interview where this is stated (it was a good, deep one, like 6 pages of text), but its not that complicated. Sample beats. Re trigger start points. Low pass. Done.

I read somewhere that a main reason his drums sound so unquantized and perfectly off time is that he created the loops in cubase freehand. No grid, no markers, just how it sounded 'right' to him at the time. If thats what youre after maybe try that instead of chopping the loops up in somehthing with beat grid.

That's strange you think his sounds are lush - I think the album sounds kind of crappy from a sound quality perspective, but that is a huge part of the appeal and charm. JUST TO BE CLEAR - I am a huge Burial fan.
Read that article in Wired. He uses different reverb settings on different instruments. Samples and re-samples a ton. Samples video games, etc. Is that helping?

take a whole bunch of sidesticks, use some as hats, take a fair bit of eq off the top, add a load of reverb, and yeah that kinda thing. Thing is, his drums are a large part of his fame so trying to imitate his amazingly shoddy but impossible technique is just silly.

Also, to anyone who couldn't get that skipyness. Triplets. i don't think this is what the OP is asking though.

I still think that is a lie. No way you can do what he did on Sound Forge. You might be able to do it on the current version but not the version that he would have had.adisize wrote:*cough* old version of soundforge *cough*kidlogic wrote:I read somewhere that a main reason his drums sound so unquantized and perfectly off time is that he created the loops in cubase freehand.

Wire: What did you think when people were saying that you hadn’t produced it all in Sound Forge, it’s a scam.
Burial: Who?
Wire: People on the internet, saying he can’t possibly have done that whole album in Sound Forge.
Burial: Really? Yeah well I did. I'll leave those people to their internet or whatever. Yeah I wish sometimes that I’d gone to college to learn music production, but other times I’m like ‘no, fuck, I’m happy I didn’t’.
I don’t really go on the internet, it’s like a ouija board, it’s like letting someone into your head, behind your eyes. It lets randoms in.
What a fucking weirdo.. LOL the internet is a the most revolutionary idea to ever come to be, in human history.(IMO) This guy is skrewd...pidge wrote:dont make me find the interviewabZ wrote:I still think that is a lie.
