So I want to know how to get dripping wet basses, you know the wobbly type (See examples)
I've been producing for about two years, and I'd say I have intermediate-Advanced knowledge in a synth, so I'm looking for a little then "Just apply a lfo to a lowpass to get the wobble". I'd like to know the actual fundamentals and ways of achieving wetness to a synth. Through my knowledge of synths, my assumptions say it heavily relies on resonance. I've tried and 'sort of' got there, I'm just wondering if anyone actually knows how to get the sounds in my examples (or close to)

Artist I'm referring to are Requake, Bukez Finezt and some disonata stuff..

If anyone could help or link me to another thread or tutorial like this I'd be grateful, thanks

P.s The main synths I use are Massive and SynthMaster 2.0, so tuts on either of them would be nice

i wouldnt really consider these wet, they have that metallic sound you get by adding a really short delay to your synth. also could play with comb filters.

I disagree, the disonota one is moist! and considering one is called waterdrops too. But I'll have a play wit delays and comb filters, thanks for replying

Sounds like an automated low pass filter.

Might help you.

I remember trying to make this sound for ages to no avail then I accidentally did it one day by turning the resonance on my low pass filter up too high, play around with routing an lfo from about 3 to 9 o' clock on the cutoff of a low pass filter and modulate the resonance up too, plus shit like flangers and phasers are good for this sound too once you mod them too

Very high resonance on a lowpass filter will achieve a wet type of sound. Short delays/reverbs/dimension expander + phasers, flangers etc can also make for wet sounding stuff

So FX FX and more FX, thanks for the helpful repsonses! Soundcloud

Well i'm telling you flat out you'll get the woi sound from automating a lowpass filter, try it, its easy

I'll tell you flat out it's way more than that

Incase anyone still wants to know, I've been achieving some great wet and wonky basses
basically, pick your waveforms (in massive for this case), route them both equally to each filter.. set you filters in a series circuit, not parallel (default). first filter as bandreject and set you cutoff over half (find your sweetspot) and set bandwith pretty damn high, almost all the way, resonance bout half way
second filter should be a daft, and set this around the same point as your bandrej cutoff or less, and add res. finally apply lfos to amp or daft filt cutoff, or both! that's what i've learnt anyway and it work most times for wet and wonky basses you hear from bukez, requake, badklaat etc..
