Dubstep-type Bass

[Wiz]

Not exactly tryna make dubstep, but I want a dubstep-ey bass.... ideally like the song from Durrty Goodz' Axiom EP "Lets Take Back The Scene" or Kromestar's "Here I Come".

LFOs are you bruv

and cos i don't know much else technically...
LFOs and experimenting

[Wiz]

LFOs are parts of a synth, I experiment with them already.
Have you got anything more specific to help? Like a plugin/preset to start with, or what part of the LFO needs tweaking.

what do you use to produce bruv?

Albino or Predator usually for bass.

I've not used those before, however

to make a bass wobble you...

change the rate and amount on the LFOs, 1/8 and 1/16 is where its at...

change the shape of the wave...

bring the attack up on the envelopes...

change the filters frequencey etc

It's all about assigning the LFO of your synth to change when you adjust a certain parameter. For example you can set the lfo to change rate when you move the pitch bend on your keyboard. Higher pitch makes it go faster and vice versa.

You can also take a bassline and double it up and then pitch one up or down a little bit. The offtime phase cancellation will cause the sound to wobble. Also the speed of the wobble will increase or decrease depending on which note you hit next.

The other way is to sample a short clip of a bassnote with a amplitude or filter envelope on it. Then take that short sample, put it in your sampler and set it to loop. This will also achieve the same increase or decrease in wobble speed as described above.
The upside to those methods is that you still have your LFOs free to other interesting things and get more complex sounds.

Stick to synthesis for the time being, as pitching down samples will introduce other audible 'artifacts' to the sounds (to do with the aliasing and resolution of the sample), which will require further filtering to eliminate - unless you can set a higher sampling rate to get around this.

If u want more freedom than the boring old synced wobble you can draw an automation curve in the cc channel of your choice, assigned to filter cutoff knob
you can make sick morphing sounds this way, instead of being locked to straight sync on 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 etc.

With Albino assign a filter at the bottom and youll get extra wump wump.

Guitar pedal wah wah with diff rate release.
