KENNY BEATS & JPEGMAFIA FREESTYLE | The Cave: Episode 1

JPEGMAFIA, aka Peggy, is a rapper/producer originally from NY but describes himself as a Baltimore artist. At 13 Peggy moved to the south where he eventually would join the Air Force and serve a 4 year tour in Iraq. Peggy is now an acclaimed artist covered by publications from Pitchfork to Fader and everywhere in between. Oh and if this doesn't work out he'll turn to journalism.

Couldn't you just screenshot it and copy the waveform into a wavetable synth though

[@jamesrichardson8140]

​@@imDezrt No idea, never used a wavetable synth so idek how they work - but I'm sure u could recreate a similar sound with an anologue synth, even like a minibrute or some shit.

[@imDezrt]

@@jamesrichardson8140 A simple 808 and messing with distortion plugins can get you like 90% of the way there imo. Maybe some stereo doubling or convolution to fatten it up (will sound good on headphones but shitty on speakers)

[@AnxiousCowboy]

James Richardson sounds to me like an overdriven 808 with some flanger chorus type effect while planning the attack part of the of the envelope is panned left and decay to the right (Listen with headphones)
