Become a Bassline Beast: How to Make Mick Gordon-Inspired Basses From Scratch

Get ready to level up your bassline game with this tutorial from sound designer and producer Joe Ford. Using our new Evolution: Devastator Breakout and some plugins, Joe will show you how to create aggressive, Doom-style basslines that will cut through your mix and demand attention. From textured and visceral bass sounds to hellish braams and intimidating distorted leads, you'll learn how to achieve the modern, violent sound design found in today's video games and movies.

But that's not all - Evolution: Devastator Breakout is packed with thousands of other sounds, including fully playable instruments, dynamic tick-tock layers, thumping pulse sounds, staggering signature sounds, one-shots, gun handlings, artist stems, cinematic loops, and more. This library is the ultimate toolkit for keeping your productions ahead of the curve in contemporary film and video game composition.

Love this dude. Creating crazy heavy basses but sounding like he is on a chill stroll.

As the video kept going i thought... this is a really good Neuro bass... then i read in the description that's Joe Ford doing it! Of course it's frickin awesome!

These are the best Mick Gordon tutorials and they just keep getting better. I'd love to see more!

AMAZING! My background is mainly orchestral writing, so this look behind the scenes inspires a completely different approach to music creation, which is friggin awesome! Love your libraries and tutorials. Thanks so much for posting this - I will surely re-watch this many times. Cheers!

Big up Joe and Keepforest for these past few videos, loads of this can be applied to bass heavy electronic music such as Drum & Bass as well. Oh and may I say this new Devastator library is sounding really nice from what I've seen from it so far!

Joe is the man. Absolutely love his sound design! 🖤

[ЕвгенийЛеонов-яъ]

I love this sound. It has meat and rhythm in itself

This program is now my staple sample transformer next to travelizer, absolute beast.

[PeterTMusic]

This is an amazing concept for tutorials! It’s both useful and shows off Devastator quite well.

Getting Amon Tobin vibes from this and I love it.

[Shenthusiast]

This is truly a gem for a guy "me" that listened to Mick's stuff and instantly wanted to make similar sounds. Thank you! ❤️

Would love to see you tackle giant robotic atmos and braams. Mass effect reaper style

Awesome stuff! I knew most of the techniques but haven't seen them put together so well and inspiringly - a masterful sound design.
Question: this "feedback" is a "fake feedback" through higher pitch sounds randomly coming in, right? Or am I missing something about Serum being able to create a "true" feedback?

[jicodemusic]

Crazy sounds wow! :D Maybe I'll get to know the genre better myself and maybe try doing something like that for fun, because that sound is insanely great! 💥

[matthewshimek]

Oh to have the time and DAW to do this! Garage Band IOS is so limited!!!

[satouanimation]

Mate this sounds soo good, somewhat I imagine a firearm ads

[RAM_industrial_death_metal]
