The nicest way to do wobbly basses may be a bit unobvious! (any synth / DAW) [video]
In all simplicity, this is how I often create wobbly basses...this is a decent starting point for anyone to create jungle/dubstep style wobble.
It goes against common sense to play two bass notes at the same time…but you'll find it works!
The most musical results often happen if the notes aren't more than 3-4 semitones apart.
You can get some fairly mad tones when pushing things hard into a saturator.
Note that it HAS to be a sinewave for things to work.

So many tools I wish I had known existed back then when I wanted to make computer music as a kid but had no way of knowing. Especially all those trackers.
Also random thought. Have you ever messed with ModEdit? A producer friend told me he started out on it, so out of curiosity I started this recent adventure to get ModEdit3 running through DOSBOX (not sure if that runs on mac). It still works. Its pretty cool. Sounds terrible. But its fun to resurrect oldschool tools on occasion. Curious if you have an old favs you might ever consider looking back at for fun
Can’t say I’ve ever tried it! You made me Google it :D Looks very…oldskool!
Shortiest and concisiest bass tutorial ever. Ive done this on accident a few times without thinking but never intentionally. Thanks
