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.
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
- guitar and bass
- drumset instruments, aux percussion as well.
3.piano or strings
4 → 9. idk
- 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.
some people have a specific layer order? Woa… never woulda guessed O_O
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.
