We are not staffed 24/7 so sorry if you don't get the answer in 15 minutes. Patience is a virtue.

What do you have in terms of synths or plugins to recreate it with?

I sounds to me like the whippy wobbly sound is layered over a fairly ordinary analogue-style bass sound. The wobbly sound is probably a self oscillating filter, but could also be an oscillator with with pitch envelope or LFO. I think there's be a bit of noise in there too.

Oop, sorry, didnt know staff runs GS. I'm trying to recreatee it with stocks synths in logic nothing third party. I'm not sure if he just lfo'd that with something on a square wave or what. Getting this wobble is tricky for me.

Any tips would be of help, this is massif track I must be working on figuring this out for a couple days.

I love that sound! Tough one. If you go to 2:29 in the track you can hear two solitary bass notes, that really show you what's going on. That metal saw wobble sound is coming from a steep and quick resonated filter sweep, made by the attack and decay of the filter envelope. Check it out:



I made it with ES2. Click HERE to download the logic session.

1. Medium pulse width waveform.
2. LP24 filter. The fatter and juicier the filter, the better. (I used the "fat" mode on ES2's filter). Bring the cutoff down until you get that nice warm round synth bass sound.
3. Filter envelope: Attack = 27 ms. Decay = 120 ms. Sustain = 0. Release = 120 ms. The attack/decay combo is what will create the juicy wobbly saw.
4. The trickiest part is the resonance and filter envelope amount. You're gonna need a pretty substantial amount of resonance, but be careful with the env amt. Too much and it sounds to "synthy". Just enough will get you that wobbly saw sound.
5. Amp Env: Attack = 6.3 ms, Sustain = MAX, Release = 15 ms

And then for good measure, I routed the key tracking to the resonance. The lower notes were wobbling a lot more than the higher notes, so this balanced it out.
