I disagree with literally everything in this thread 0.o
2 types of bassline? Your basically saying if it has anything other than an lfo to cutoff wobble it's a 'womp' despite shitloads of sounds not sounding anything like that. Who moved my cheese for example? or Get Back by 501? The Drop by Unitz? Spongebob by coki? (Which I'm pretty sure has lfo magic on it but not in the traditional way and the movement is caused by note placement so where does that stand?) Walkin Bass by Skream?
Are 'womps' only when someone uses individual notes to create a similar effect to an lfo wobble or are you counting things like long drawn out swipes as well? cos they are two very distinct types of sound in my eyes...
Basically...what a rediculous notion

Same. if it sounds DIRTIES it sounds good. I don't not use a sound just cause it's not a womp or wobble.

This thread is a load of rubbish tbh.
Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

Well when we tried to have a more high brow discussion about frequency and brain activity you all told him to fuck off

He automated nearly everything on spongebob using a few subtraktors.

Why?
Granted the terms 'womps' or 'wobbles' are both pretty fucking stupid to describe each technique, but it's two different ways of making a bassline. One is using LFO's and cutoff, and the other is using the ADSR.

It's like saying "There's two types of cheese, yellow and red" it's just a ridiculous sweeping generalisation on something that is incredibly diverse.

whaddya mean? The rules clearly state that dubstep isn't dubstep if it doesn't have a modulating bassline

filthy jabs/wobs
sounds more interesting, isnt as repetitive as LFO. i still use the lfo but not usually for the main bassline to the song.

Sticking with cheese, props to paravrais for mentioning Who Moved My Cheese. That's my favourite type of bass sound. It doesn't wobble at all, it's just kinda stinky, detuned saws and squares. Absolutely love it.
