For your first try, this is awesome! Critique time: The first bass at took me by surprise, the sound design is not bad! I like gritty basses, but it sounds like it is more high-heavy and lacks some mid frequencies. More vowel development would help shape the bass's sound a lot more. The high pitched wobble bass at Is pretty nice, but it sounds like it needs more distortion, it lacks the energy that your other bass has.

I can always repub this so Ill be sure to mess around a little more.

It does give it a vowely sound, interesting that the volume kicked up a few dB though.

Exciters can be good starters for shaping vowels, but make sure you are just automating the freq knob. A big part of vowel shaping is the curve EQ. Mess around with it, and see what you come up with. ;)

I automated the tone knob since it sounded like it would give a more vowely sound

Some of my bass automations are exciter automations. I would assume you automated either the dry/wet knob or the strength knob. Big no no.

I think at and I did an automation with the exciter tone so that prob brought the volume on the main bass up.

Yeah, basses on their own shouldn't have any low-end frequencies, that will clash with a sub, or if you're not wanting to have a sub, it won't be a clean one or sound very good in general. High-passing everything will just keep the high-end and maybe some mid-range frequencies, depending on how highpassed everything is.

The wobbly bass doesn't sound like it has any peaking frequencies, just needs more effects! Something else I noticed is that at certain points like at , , and the volume gets louder. I'm not sure if that's an accident with a possible volume automation or if you accidentally placed 2 notes in the same spot on the piano roll. Might want to check for that. This is really nice Dubstep.
