The team from Steinberg has released the version 6 of SpectraLAYERS Pro, the audio editor that let you visualize audio in astonishing ways, they says, directly edit spectral data, work with mixes like they are tracks and more, all using a familiar, intuitive image editing-style interface.
SpectraLayers Pro 6 will be exclusively available to Steinberg customers at a not-to-be-missed introductory 50% discount until August 31, 2019. The price for the full version is only 199,50Â EUR .
The Advanced Tool You Already Know
Steinberg SpectraLayers is the first completely visual editing system for audio. It extends the traditional visualization of spectral editors to every aspect of editing sounds, including how they mix together. To make this approach intuitive, SpectraLayers employs the model of high-end image editors – not just the interface, but what you can do with sound and how you do it. So, despite its advanced technology, SpectraLayers is immediately familiar and instantly powerful.
Editing with Steinberg SpectraLayers Pro 6
Retouch Audio: The most natural, powerful and precise editing is made directly in the medium. Paint and brushes, retouching and photographs, video and frames. SpectraLayers introduces this way of editing to audio. Start with the spectral domain, where time, frequency and amplitude are all visible. Use the power of 22 advanced tools — modification, drawing, selection, measurement, marking and listening with your mouse, or a pressure-sensitive stylus. It’s like Photoshop® for sound.
Advanced Selection Engine: Transcend traditional audio editing with the industry’s most advanced selection engine. Create any selection shape — drawn freehand, with geometry-based tools or automatically based on audio features. Add fully visualized crossfade masks and real-time previews. Use selections for spectral playback, selection-based effects, and our Visual Transformation Engine. Alternatively, use selections to protect audio from modification, extract selections to other Layers, and compose 2D soundscapes. Even save and recall them.
Selection-Based Effects: Re-Imagined: SpectraLayers re-imagines selection-based processing, the editing technique most common in other spectral tools. It starts with our Advanced Selection Engine (ASE). Apply SpectraLayers’ industry-standard restoration effects, such as spectral noise reduction and audio healing. In another industry first, you can also use External Editor Processing to use the effects in your other audio tools, such as WaveLab, iZotope RX® and Melodyne® with full ASE compatibility. Undo and redo these edits like any other – instantly.
Transpose the Way You Transform: SpectraLayers employs the industry’s only visual transformation system for sound. And it’s real-time, with full-resolution previewing. Move, scale and stretch audio as you drag your mouse (or stylus) to align musical features while you transform, and measure your changes with markers and timelines. Of course, you can also do it how everyone else does, using numbers. Either way, all transformations are powered by the Advanced Selection Engine.
Tracks and Regions, Evolved: Layers are at the heart of SpectraLayers. They’re compatible with regions and tracks, but more powerful. Seeing them shows you how they sound — both individually and mixed with other Layers. You can edit them while seeing how your changes affect other tracks – in real time. Using any editing method, instantly previewed with every tool.
Integrations with Steinberg SpectraLayers PRO 6
Upgrade yopur ARA2 DAW – Instantly: Add SpectraLayers as a native editor to your ARA 2 DAW. Open audio regions instantly, right inside your editing panel, just like an internal waveform editor and edit non-destructively with SpectraLayers. Edit each region individually or visualize them as they’d mix (pre-effects) with others. Audition your edits with a separate monitor system, with separate mute, solo, and monitor level for every region and track. You can even use External Editor Integration to process selections with other audio editors.
Audio Editors: Assemble: The SpectraLayers stand-alone application is the industry’s first spectral editing platform. Create Layer Groups to store alternate playlists, selections and incremental changes. Use built-in effects or native third-party spectral plugins. Maintain one project and undo/redo buffer, processing selections remotely in your other audio editors. And, at the heart of it, the industry’s more powerful spectral editor. You can also mix down with channel strips on every Layer.
AAX Support: Use the SpectraLayers AAX plug-in to link Pro Tools® and the SpectraLayers stand-alone application. Open Pro Tools clips in SpectraLayers and automatically update them when you’re done. Harness the special features exclusive to the stand-alone, such as custom Layers and native Layer Groups.
