Smart editing tools

Three configurable tools: Harmonics, Frequency, and Area, 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 takes audio copy and paste functionality into whole new dimensions. Shuttling blocks of sound between layers can be used in analysis and repair tasks as well as for radically creative arranging and rearranging of sound.

View, modify, and draw tools

SpectraLayers Pro 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, they are indispensable for achieving the ideal edit every time.

Three-step audio extraction

You're never more than three easy steps away from a new audio layer in SpectraLayers Pro. Click below to see an example of how you can reach directly into the core DNA of a sound and extract it out to develop new audio life forms.

VST effects

VST effects can be applied to individual layers. SpectraLayers Pro can also pass whole layers, and even bandwidth-limited selections from within layers, directly to other dedicated audio editing programs like Sound Forge Pro.

Noise reduction

You'll never again see unwanted noise in the same light after working with it in SpectraLayers Pro. Click below to investigate a comprehensive noiseprint-based noise reduction exercise that was accomplished in mere minutes.

Recording audio

SpectraLayers Pro can record audio. Record directly into as many new layers as you need. Replace audio in any selected layer with newly recorded audio.
