Layering Sounds Effectively

Struggling with your kick and snare getting buried in the mix? Instead of relying solely on EQ and compression, try layering multiple sounds.

For a kick drum, combine a thick, less-defined kick with a thinner, punchier one to create a fuller sound. The same goes for snares—mix sounds with different characteristics to complement each other. Adjust the volumes, bounce the layers into a single track, and save the new sample for future use.

Layering often achieves better results than effects alone. Experiment with this technique, push your sound design, and create something uniquely yours.
