Here is the process in a nutshell, but watch the vid so you can actually HEAR the difference:

1. 1:10 Write your lead melody.

2. Pick your main lead sound.

3. Duplicate the MIDI track a few times (spending on how many layers you want; 4 or 5 as a maximum).

4. Add layers one by one, making sure that there is a reason for each. Look to COMPLIMENT and contrast the other layers by considering these attributes:
i) Dynamics (the ADSR settings, e.g. don't have 4 layers with the same ADSR shape. Pointless).
ii) Frequency / tone (e.g. don't bother layer 4 pianos playing the same notes in the same octave. You might, instead, have one piano, one saw synth, one vocal chop, etc.)
iii) Lastly, consider stereo width, e.g. you might have one layer in the centre (the main one), then a couple more panned out left and right, or made wide with a stereo widening plugin. ALWAYS check in mono to make sure it still sounds good.

5. After processing each track separately (e.g. cutting out the unwanted frequencies from one layer so it doesn't clash with another), route them together in a group or buss and process them as one whole. This will help make them sound like one cohesive instrument.

Hope you enjoy!
