Voice stacking is a special Bitwig feature for multiplying and shaping notes and more. In this episode, we’ll look at classic "unison," and then dive into voice stacking and how to use it. We’ll see audio FX and note FX that use voice stacking (thanks to The Grid), and we’ll close by remixing the factory grand piano so it loops forward and backwards, simultaneously. Come get familiar with voice stacking, another Bitwig difference. 👩‍🎤 🔀
