Complete software
SpectraLayers 12 is a spectral editing software designed to operate where traditional audio editors reach their limits. By displaying sound as a spectrogram, it allows isolating, attenuating, or reconstructing very precise elements of a recording: a voice buried in a mix, breath noise, mouth sounds, resonance, or even transient components like a snare hit. It is a go-to tool for audio restoration, post-production, sound design, and optimizing stems intended for mixing.
For music, SpectraLayers 12 facilitates the creation of usable layers (stems) from a stereo mix, to remix, rearrange, apply processing on a cleaner source, or prepare alternative versions. In audiovisual work, it speeds up the separation of a soundtrack into distinct components, enabling cleaning of dialogue, reducing intrusive music, or isolating effects for a cleaner and more intelligible edit.
This version focuses on musical separation with updated algorithms that gain in precision and musicality. The processing excels across all categories, with a special mention for vocals: the goal is to achieve a more readable, stable, and easier-to-process voice, whether for cleaning, remixing, or mastering preparation.
The extended drum mixing offers finer control over percussive elements, useful for correcting an overly prominent cymbal, attenuating an aggressive snare, or recentring the groove. Custom instrument extraction allows going beyond standard separations and tailoring the output to a specific context (rearrangement, sampling, stem creation for live performance, etc.).
In video environments, SpectraLayers 12 helps structure a soundtrack into distinct layers of dialogue, music, and effects. This approach improves correction speed and final quality: you can process diction without degrading ambience, control music without overpowering sound effects, and isolate annoying artifacts without affecting the rest of the mix.
This gain in clarity leads to more confident editing decisions, better level consistency, and a more natural result, especially when "saving" difficult takes (background noise, voice and music interactions, reverberant environments).
Vocal processing evolves to offer more clarity, less noise, and fewer artifacts. Automatic plosive attenuation simplifies controlling overly explosive "p" and "b" sounds, while vocal resynthesis aims to restore a more homogeneous texture after correction or separation. Faster transcriptions integrate into a modern workflow alternating editing, spotting, and cleaning, with a focus on maximum efficiency.
The result: a more stable, intelligible voice that is easier to place in a mix, whether you are working on a podcast, voice-over, fiction dialogue, or live recording.
SpectraLayers 12 introduces workflows designed to speed up intensive editing: simultaneous editing of multiple layers to save time on repetitive tasks, new copy/paste functions for cleaner handling of complex selections, and enhanced fade controls for smoother transitions. These improvements aim for a more direct sense of control, especially appreciated during meticulous spectral cleaning or stem preparation.
Finally, additional utilities and visualization options complement the suite to stay as close as possible to the sound material. Whether you focus on surgical correction or creative work, the interface and tools strive to maintain a balance between precision, speed, and confidence in what you hear.
