SpectraLayers empowers audio professionals by offering a revolutionary approach to audio editing. It transcends traditional waveform editing by introducing the spectral domain, where sound is visualized as a spectrogram – a time-frequency representation. This intuitive interface grants unparalleled access to the very essence of sound, allowing for precise manipulation of individual frequencies and components within a recording.

SpectraLayers boasts an arsenal of editing tools specifically designed for spectral editing. These tools empower you to isolate specific sounds with surgical precision using lasso, rectangle, or freehand selection modes. Advanced editing features include spectral painting for meticulous frequency sculpting, time warping for manipulating the timing of sounds, and transient shaping for fine-tuning attack and release characteristics.

Beyond its core editing capabilities, SpectraLayers breaks new ground with cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) integration. AI-powered processes automate tedious tasks and enhance audio quality. SpectralLayers can intelligently extract instruments or vocals from a mix, a godsend for remixing or isolating specific elements. AI also assists in noise reduction, removing unwanted background hum, hiss, or crackle, leaving behind pristine audio. For sound design professionals, AI-powered spectral morphing allows seamless transformation of one sound into another, unlocking creative possibilities.

SpectraLayers caters to both remedial and creative audio tasks. The spectral view facilitates meticulous audio restoration. You can identify and eliminate pops, clicks, or other audio imperfections with pinpoint accuracy. Spectral editing also excels in sound design, allowing for the creation of unique and expressive soundscapes by layering, manipulating, and transforming audio components. Imagine sculpting a pad with shimmering high frequencies or crafting otherworldly textures – SpectraLayers is your sonic canvas.

For a seamless workflow integration, SpectraLayers offers tight integration with popular Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) like Nuendo and Cubase. This allows you to launch SpectraLayers directly from your DAW, edit audio on the spectral graph, and transfer edits back to your DAW project seamlessly. ARA 2 technology ensures non-destructive editing, preserving your original audio within the DAW environment.
