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 ❤

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.

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.

@garjian0 3 ай бұрын

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.

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.
