To me my wobbles dont sound like wobbles in dubstep. It might just because im not satisfied with it.
And were not commenting on how i didn't EQ or how wobbles are off beat.

you're quite a prolific spammer for someone who has just started? ever think of just keeping on practising until you have something worth listening to?

possible troll... but I'll take the risk
seems to me like you need to spend less time wobbling and more time focusing on the sound you're making. If you've got sytrus you've got more than enough to make every sound you could possibly want, start experimenting with FM synthesis (you can get some crazy sounds from sytrus' FM matrix) and waveshaping. THEN after you've made some cool sounds you can start reaching for the LFO and get that shit wobbling but believe me sytrus can do anything you want it to do if you give it a little time.

Seriously, you should be able to make a good wobble with all of those synths... watch some dubstep bass wobble tutorials on youtube...
try 2 or 3 saw waves, transpose one to -24 and the other to -12... you can do -11.5 and -24.5 for more of a dirty sound. Then add a filter, either Band Pass or Low Pass, kind of depends on the synth (in simpler bp sounds better, but on massive lp sounds better). Route the LFO to the filter cutoff and press the sync button if it is available and change lfo rate to desired whompness.... then move the filter cutoff until you have the sound you want..... if that doesn't work then you are doing something wrong.
This wont' be a finished dubstep bass, play around from there... but it is a the basic formula... try other waveforms or add some FM or rind modulation if you want true filth, then maybe an analogue filter (I use Sugar Bytes' WOW) with some distortion or overdrive to give it bite and thickness....
And dont forget to LAYER your synths (VERY IMPORTANT)... i do it in three layers: 1)sub-bass layer 2) mid-range and body of the sound 3)high-range, the crackly bite that makes it "dirty" bass

I'm still new so I haven learned all the filters that go on the mixer yet. I will def try to follow this when I get home and by layering lets say on.. sytrus. have op1 op2 op3 on f1 or something like that correct
