SpectraLayers Pro 2 is the revolutionary, award-winning software
application that stands as the undisputed leader in today's audio
spectrum editing movement. Extracting, layering, and processing audio in
the spectral realm is now even quicker and easier in SpectraLayers Pro
2, which features a significantly faster processing engine, seamless
interoperability with Sound Forge Pro 11, and a host of new tools,
methodologies, and user interface improvements for even more
convenience, creative options, and enhanced workflow. Spectral editing
capability is now an expected, essential, and affordable tool for all
audio professionals.
Smart editing tools
Five configurable extraction tools–Area, Frequency, Harmonics, Shape,
and Noise–predict what your desired selection should be. Dial them in to
highlight only what you need, quickly, cleanly, and intuitively.
Layer-to-layer copy/paste
SpectraLayers Pro 2 takes audio copy and paste functionality into whole
new dimensions. Shuttling blocks of sound between layers can be useful
in analysis and repair tasks as well as for radically creative
arranging, rearranging, and sound remixing.
Three-step audio extraction
Using Shift+Scroll Wheel adjusts the view until the frequency range is
narrowed down to 0-600 Hz. The new view provides ideal visual access to
relevant audio material. After creating a new empty layer and naming it
'Backbeat', we use the Extract Harmonics Tool to copy over four
synthetic percussion hits (shown here in yellow) — only one mouse click
per hit is required for complete extraction!
Spectral Casting/Spectral Molding™
In SpectraLayers Pro 2, you can use the frequency spectrum of one layer
as a mold or cast for carving an impression of its frequency signature
directly into the spectrum of a second layer. The enormous sound design
capabilities of this feature are poised to take creative music and sound
design to an unprecedented new level.
Interoperability with Sound Forge Pro 11
Transfer audio data between SpectraLayers Pro 2 and Sound Forge Pro 11
and experience the thrill of working freely across the world's premiere
waveform and spectral editing applications.
View, modify, and draw tools
SpectraLayers Pro 2 turns sound into a three-dimensional world of eye
candy that can be entered and operated on using configurable tools. From
research science to mad science, these tools are indispensable for
achieving the ideal edit every time.
