5 Things to Know About How Burial Made Untrue

Burial used Sound Forge He produced the entire album using the digital audio editing software Sound Forge, not a full DAW like Ableton or Logic.

He worked mostly at night Most of the recording and editing happened in the dead of night, which directly shaped the album’s lo-fi, nocturnal atmosphere.

The lo-fi sound is intentional The gritty, muffled quality isn’t a flaw — it’s a direct result of the tools and late-night workflow he chose.

No multitrack recording Sound Forge is a stereo editor, not a multitrack sequencer, so Burial built tracks by layering and editing audio clips manually.

The process matches the mood The album sounds like it was made at 3 AM because it largely was — the production and the mood are inseparable.
