How do YOU organize your layers?

I’m wondering how you guys organize your layers for your songs, just like what the title says. I’m having trouble deciding how to organize mine, and I thought that asking this question might help me out. :slight_smile:

2-3 instruments per layer is my preference.

This is usually my layer order in the V2 player:

L1: Melody or Melodic Chords

L2: Bass, Instrument in front of Melody

L3: Drums, Percussion

L4: Soft echo to Drums, Bass or Melody.

L5: Echo, Ambience, fade in or fade out.

L6: Really soft echo or Hi-Hats

The rest of the layers, Idk what I do. When I reach 9, that’s when shit goes down, though.

mine are just random. whatever i feel like putting on them

  1. guitar and bass
  2. drumset instruments, aux percussion as well.
    3.piano or strings
    4 → 9. idk
  1. First instrument(s) I use
    2+. Whatever I layer on top of the above layer(s)

My layers are usually organized by volume, but percussion is ALWAYS on layer 5.

I usually put all in all layers XD

I guess my biggest consistency is drums on 2 or 4.

I’m a many-layered person, I like to manage my psyche through regular meditation.

well people wants originality, but the thing is that other people can also use their layering so it’s not that original D;

I just use a layer for each instrument or role.

Layer one for drums. Layer 2 for bass etc. :slight_smile:
