Does anyone know if there is a way to "mold" a sine wave to a lead? Is there a way you can take a straight midi note of sub bass and literally mold it to follow a waveform's envelope, lfo and amp? Is there a technique this can be done with, perhaps a special variation of compression and limiting? For a very simple example, if I were to have an wobble with an LFO set to 1/12 and a sine wave without an lfo, is there a way that I can get this sub bass to follow the peaks and valleys of the wobble leads waveform? The reason why I ask is because I have been using envelopes in place of LFOs to modulate the decay of the wobble lead's master envelope, hence there is a lot of unsynced automation going on within the lead which is extremely difficult to try and make an accurate sub bass for. If anyone could help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it!

You could try sidechaining a gate/expander.

This is what envelope followers are for - try using one that has a side-chain otpion so that you're using it from another source, rather than the active channel.

sidechain gate or some sort of gater plug that mimic's the orig LFO. audiodamage has one that does a fantastic job, and the gator on predator can be used as a plug in-- really handy.
