Sytrus - How to get better wubs? LFO and EQing?

[itroitnyah]

alright, so I got FL Studio 10 (trial version, mind you. But never the less, the trial comes with Sytrus, which still contains pretty much every feature that the paid version of Sytrus comes with. Either that or I'm an idiot and didn't pay enough attention to some of the videos of it I've seen)

So I can get some pretty good sounds out of it, liking what I'm getting, only problem is that the wubs I'm getting out of the LFO doesn't get to where I want it to go. It does regular sine wave wubs fine, everything is smooth. I just want to get a wub sorta like this:

(from times 0.27-0.35 and 0.38-0.44)

So is there a wave style for the lfo that I should be using? or some EQing? If so, then what.

I think that these wubs are either saw waves, or bending 1 (from massive)

since you are using fl, I recommend adding a fruity filter to whatever you want wubbed. Then right click on the cutoff and go to edit events. There you can have full control over the cutoff.

Alright I tested the saw waves, and they don't work unless you mess around with them so that the drop at the end of the saw wave is slanted and not so sudden, otherwise there will be a distortion with it. And I'm not sure what the "bending 1" wave form looks like.

CGEye I'll test your idea soon, but I don't have time to do so at the current time I'm making this post. I will soon though

Alright so I worked around with the fruity love filter, and am getting really awesome results. loving it. thanks for the suggestion. although automating the events is sorta confusing. I'll figure it out though

I would try to help with this but the dubstep I make has really lo-fi wubs, like classic dubstep. I have absolutely no idea how to get that sort of sound with Sytrus.

I wish you luck though!

What are the true limitations to the trial version of FL Studio?

Also: Where's the sequencer and all that good stuff? I only messed around with it for a couple minutes and didn't really look up any videos for it...

alright xD thanks.

The main limitations I've seen out of the few hours I've spent messing around with it, is that you can save, but you need the full version to open up the file again. And there will be random sudden cuts in the volume. Just some small pesky things really.

The sequencer is what pops up right away, with all the instrument names and dark rectangles that follow. The playlist where you can set down your patterns you can open by clicking the button at the top, just right of the middle. Right under the "file / edit / channels" option bar is another bar that will say what buttons are. Other then that, if you go to "view->plugin picker" it'll give you a list of all the plugins, like synths and EQ's and gates, etc. The mixer you can open right by the "playlist" button. that's where you can add in other effects. Hope this helped

I'm gonna say you should check out the videos. They tend to explain things better than any of us could.

Not sure what I would search up though. If I search up "dj alex s wub style tutorial" it doesn't exactly come up with anything that's relevant to what I want. If I search up "ni massive lfo wave forms" or "ni massive wave forms", it still doesn't pop up with what I want. Even after spending some time looking around at some massive tutorials that didn't really relate, I still couldn't manage to find one where the person showed all the wave forms that the LFO or even envelope had. I only every saw the main 4 (sine, saw, square, triangle). So if could find a video for me so that I don't have to spend hours trying to find one, that'd be awesome.

Wait, what? Absolutely nothing popped up right away... I'm gonna take a blind shot and say there is something wrong with my PC... (Of course I already knew that.)

Maybe I should try downloading it to my new laptop...

Dammit technology! Why you no work?!

That's probably not the case. Just look up at the right hand corner, and there will be a bunch of options that are in these half rectangle half circle button/balloon things, and those offer all the basics, like the step sequencer, playlist, piano roll, etc.

do you use the 3xosc in FLS10 or do you have a vsti like Massive?

I think I already explained that I'm using Sytrus. Which is pretty much Massive without some of the oscillator effects and other stuff. Also, sytrus has 6 oscillators, 3 filters, and 1 fx channel. Along with an array of knobs that allow you to connect each filter and oscillator and fx to each other. and then it also has a feature where you can take a wave form from an instrument and drag it into sytrus, so that it will emulate that instrument. So it's pretty much massive, without the effects. although you can emulate Massive sounds by using the wave form technique if you have a section of the noise you want.
