      ​@@epidote6020 Not really, when you add a voice of unison you add a detuned version of the same sound. When you stack layers you create different sounds which compliment each other in order to get a fuller sounding end product. E.g. adding unison to a saw wave to create a supersaw versus stacking layers such as a triangle, square and a saw square waves to create a super saw sounding product.

    • @epidote6020
      @epidote6020 5 років тому +31

      @@TheDemonwolf2198 a layer is a layer no matter if it's the same wavetable or not. Detuning a sound achieves a different purpose than adding like a bass sound, (stereo width), but so does adding a pluck sound to a lead. you can technically layer a bunch of different wave tables, detune each of them differently and pan them differently which would create the same effect, would that still not be considered layering with your view point? Adding voices of unison is layering, adding a lead to a bass is just adding another instrument to a band (still layering yes I know). Double tracking guitars and panning then 100% both sides is layering and it achieves the same effect as a detuned saw.
