This allows you to process each synth copy separately. If you want even further control of the layered sounds, you can duplicate your synth plugin and then shift the MIDI notes up/down the scale for each copy. Simply adjust the pitch parameter of each extra oscillator up/down 12 semitones. If you're not using them already, you can also use the extra oscillators in your synth (such as Massive, Serum or Sylenth1), layering more octaves without having to duplicate any MIDI notes. This involves simply duplicating your synth MIDI notes and pitching the copied notes up and/or down the octave. The easiest trick to implement here is to stack up your synth lines in octaves. The first order of the day is perhaps the most obvious - layer, layer on the wall! Stacking up your soft synth sounds is one surefire way to create thick washes of synth heaven but bearing a few useful pointers in mind before getting started will help you to get better results, faster. Let's tuck in! Layering Part 1: Down The Rabbit-hole We Go

I'll be working with a mixture of plugins, soft synths and MIDI, offering you various tools to try in a range of production situations. We'll cover techniques that will deepen, widen and thicken your synth patterns into voluminous beasts that burst from your productions into the air around you! In this tutorial however, I want to introduce you to 4 handy and easy to follow methods for beefing up your synth sound. Turning a single-voice, unprocessed synth melody into something speaker-shaking might seem daunting at first. Owing in part to the constant march of the loudness war and the resurgence of genres such as Synthwave, big, chunky, in-your-face synth sounds come pouring out of many tracks, primed and ready to bathe you in deep, oceanic synth bliss. In today's vibrant music production landscape, big is very often better.
