Steinberg SpectraLayers Pro 13 Spectral Audio Editing & Restoration Software

Steinberg SpectraLayers Pro 13 Spectral Audio Editing Software

Steinberg SpectraLayers Pro 13 is professional spectral audio editing and restoration software for repairing recordings, separating sound elements, refining dialogue, and performing detailed sound design. It displays audio visually in the spectral domain, allowing engineers to select, isolate, process, and reconstruct individual components that are difficult to address with conventional waveform editing.

Designed for post-production, music production, forensic editing, dialogue cleanup, and restoration workflows, SpectraLayers Pro 13 expands its unmixing and repair tools with Unmix Sound Effects, Unmix Two Voices, Voice DeClick, Voice DeCrosstalk, Ambience Heal, Reconstruct, and Attenuate. Noiseprint-based DeNoise processing also provides adjustable spectral smoothing for more precise noise reduction.

SpectraLayers Pro 13 operates as a standalone application and integrates with compatible DAWs through ARA 2 and AAX workflows. It supports projects at sample rates up to 384 kHz and as many as 16 channels, with unlimited audio layers. Native Apple silicon support, Windows on Arm operation, VST3 processing, batch processing, and high-resolution display support make it suitable for modern professional audio workstations.

Key Features

• Advanced Spectral Editing: Displays audio as visual spectral information for precise selection, repair, separation, and creative manipulation.
• Unmix Sound Effects: Separates short events from continuous environmental and ambient backgrounds for post-production editing.
• Dialogue Restoration: Voice DeClick and Voice DeCrosstalk address mouth noises and unwanted overlapping voices.
• Audio Reconstruction: Reconstruct resynthesizes selected tonal, transient, and noise content, while Ambience Heal repairs gaps in background material.
• Improved Noise Reduction: Noiseprint-based DeNoise provides additional smoothing controls for more precise spectral cleanup.
• Professional Loudness Analysis: Level Check calculates loudness measurements including True Peak and LU-based values for selected audio or layers.
• DAW Integration: Supports ARA 2 and AAX workflows alongside standalone operation for flexible editing environments.
• High-Resolution Projects: Supports sample rates up to 384 kHz, projects with up to 16 channels, and unlimited layers.
