really??

Use auto filter after whatever effects you put in. When you automate the LFO sync rate make sure that it is rigid and not gradually moving to the next sync rate. If you don't it will not repeat on beat, just sounds off unless your going for that effect. Start learning corpus/saturator, mess with diffrent waveforms/algorithms/ADSR's and start to get an idea of what it takes to make diffrent bass sounds. Keep it intresting.

I'm not sure if he's saying you should sync your time knob for your LFO or whatever, but in general, i wouldn't. It goes with the whole unquantized human feel thing. Even if you want say some triplet 1/12 (The ratio in massive) LFO wubs, you could turn on your metronome and fiddle with it until it sounds right. Now you have the synced 1/12 thing, with the ability to make it speed up or down, or you could have it slightly off. Another easy way if to a/b with the sync knob on and off, until it doesn't really change. Honestly, the only thing i use the sync button for is extremely presice pulses in atmosphere, or ridiculous tight fast wobbles.

FM, with modulation amount envelope.
