Description
Artificial Intelligence. Sensory Integration.
Looking at audio on a spectrograph display is one thing, but the ability to easily touch, sculpt and shape what you see is what sets SpectraLayers apart. And now you have a skilled, highly trained AI partner that can sense patterns, perform operations and speed you on your way to perfect audio.
A foundation for AI-enhanced processing
The manual selection tools in SpectraLayers allow everything from broad brush editing to microscopic intervention. AI-assisted processes bring even more speed and precision, making the SpectraLayers tool set and layers-based workflow more powerful and flexible than ever.
From pure science to free improvisation
Use AI speed and precision to split a sample into layers and create freeform mixes. Automatically unmix tracks into stems, and stems into component parts. Quickly identify, isolate, and work on the tone, transients and noise signatures of extracted instruments. Do you make experimental music? Get granular and mold sound with surgical precision in SpectraLayers. It’s a freeform music creation tool… a genuine musical instrument.
Repair and restore
Find and erase errors and unwanted sounds, reduce noise, repair clips, remove clicks, tame transients and much more — manually or automatically — with the new AI-assisted processes in SpectraLayers. Work with speed and precision, and enjoy the satisfaction as you routinely salvage tracks and perform audio enhancements in ways you never thought possible.
The ARA era
Today’s audio production platforms need to work in both the waveform and spectral domains. What engineers want is serious application power, coupled with the flexibility to deliver the best in creative options, accessibility and workflow. Thanks to advanced ARA 2 technology, which is designed to build bridges between audio editing applications, SpectraLayers can be launched inside Nuendo, Cubase and a host of applications from other developers to provide comprehensive, non-destructive visual editing right on the DAW timeline.
Audio refabrication
Use high-precision tools to make super-detailed audio selections on the spectral display. Extract this material to independent layers for processing, in SpectraLayers or anywhere in the DAW ecosystem. Mix and render, or keep your edits preserved on the DAW timeline. With ARA 2 support, you can launch SpectraLayers directly into the Cubase/Nuendo waveform display window for the ultimate in real-time program integration.
Improved Unmix Song Module
Unmix Song now delivers significantly improved quality across the board, with dramatically better vocal separation, major enhancements to drum, bass, and sax/brass unmixing, and subtle improvements to guitar and piano unmixing. This means cleaner stems, less time spent on corrections, and more professional-sounding results right from the start. The Unmix Song dialog now includes an option called Unmix Sax & Brass before Vocals. When enabled, the module focuses on sax and brass unmixing before addressing other stems. It is worth trying both modes to find the best separation for the track.
Improved Unmix Drums Module
Unmix Drums now features updated algorithms and can extract toms, hi-hats, ride cymbals, and crash cymbals, for a total of six discrete kit pieces. This process is designed for isolated drum kit tracks: applying Unmix Song first, then using Unmix Drums to separate the kit components. This gives more precise control over individual drum elements, making it easier to rebalance, process, or replace parts of the kit with greater accuracy and less manual editing.
New Unmix Instrument Module
Unmix Instrument isolates and extracts user-identified instruments. Select up to ten seconds of the target instrument to be registered in the module dialog, and then run process. The Sensitivity parameter allows the separation to be fine-tuned for optimal results. This new feature provides the flexibility to extract custom elements from mixes, making it easier to rework arrangements, apply targeted processing, or create stems for remixing and restoration.
New Unmix Soundtrack Module
The Unmix Soundtrack module separates audio into dialogue, effects, and music layers. This module is especially useful for post-production workflows involving mixed content such as film soundtracks, trailers, and radio broadcasts. By isolating the core audio components, it enables more precise dialogue cleanup, music replacement, and effects enhancement. Whether localizing content, restoring archival material, or preparing stems for remixing, Unmix Soundtrack gives the control and flexibility needed to meet professional delivery standards with greater efficiency.
Improved Unmix Noisy Speech Module
The Unmix Noisy Speech module has been significantly improved, delivering much clearer speech/noise separation along with a substantial reduction in artifacts. This results in cleaner dialogue tracks, enhanced intelligibility, reduced listener fatigue, and easier preparation for broadcast or post-production work
New Voice Enhance Module
The Voice Enhance module uses generative AI to literally reconstruct poor-quality voice recordings. It can correct issues such as clipping, limited bandwidth, compression artifacts, excess reverb, noise, and more. Voices are intelligently processed to address these problems, resulting in clearer, more natural-sounding speech that improves intelligibility and overall audio quality, while preserving the speaker’s unique identity.
New DePlosive Module
The DePlosive module automatically eliminates distracting plosives in speech recordings. Adjustable Threshold, Frequency, and Reduction Ratio controls let the process be fine-tuned for optimal results. This module can be combined with the precise control of the Eraser tool, to take full advantage of the seamless integration of automatic processing and manual editing. This is a hallmark of SpectraLayers, which sets it apart as a uniquely powerful application.
Improved Voice DeNoise Module
The Voice DeNoise module has also been substantially improved, providing exceptionally clean results whether the background is noise or music. This versatility makes it ideal for diverse audio restoration and post-production tasks, delivering clear, artifact-free results across many use cases.
Improved Unmix Transcription Module
The Unmix Transcription module has been greatly enhanced, resulting in transcription quality that is twice as accurate and supporting twice as many languages. A high-quality mode is now available across all languages, enabling more reliable and precise transcriptions for a wider range of projects and multilingual workflows.
Edit Multiple Layers at Once
This headline feature enables tools and processes to operate on multiple selected layers simultaneously. In standalone mode, tools and processes operate vertically across layers. Events spanning multiple stems can be targeted and edited in one go — ideal for refining performances captured with multiple microphones. The feature extends horizontally in Cubase or Nuendo in ARA mode — for example when using SpectraLayers speech processing tools in post, on multiple clips located anywhere in the project. Importantly, this functionality extends to all SpectraLayers tools and processes.
Improved Cut to… / Copy to…
The “Cut to” and “Copy to” actions now allow any layer within a project to be selected as target. Once a target layer is established, additional actions can be immediately applied to it. This makes multi-layer editing of workflows faster and more intuitive, reducing the number of steps needed to move and manipulate content.
Selection Editing
Active selections can be resized directly on the spectrograph, just by dragging their edges. At the same time, selection fades can now be resized in active selections. Achieve the desired edits with a new level of ease and accuracy.
Improved Frequency Selection
Frequency selection has been improved across the board to track narrow frequencies more accurately. Additionally, frequency selections are now elastic: if you move beyond a desired point or encounter drifting in the spectrum, simply move back slightly to the last safe position to correct it. These enhancements make it easier to perform precise, frustration-free spectral edits — especially when working with fine or shifting frequency content
Improved Harmonics Selection
Extending the improvements in frequency selection, the Harmonics selection tool introduces a new, more intuitive way to select harmonics — no parameter tweaking required. Simply drag over the most accessible harmonic in the target, then shift to an adjacent one; the tool automatically calculates and selects all harmonics in the corresponding series. No more guessing or manually setting parameters before starting a harmonic selection!
Improved Transient Selection
Transient selection is now more accurate and flexible. The tool locks onto the target with greater precision and can include or exclude surrounding spectral content, based on its power. This results in cleaner, more focused selections and reduces the time spent on manual fine-tuning.
SpectraLayers delivers AI-assisted spectral editing capabilities and seamless DAW integration. The entry-level Elements edition can perform precise error correction and includes automatic noise and hum reduction processes, as well as selected AI-assisted processes including vocal unmixing. The Pro edition features more comprehensive tools, along with the most sophisticated AI implementation. Now with second-generation AI and enhanced ARA 2 support, SpectraLayers is a standalone powerhouse and a superb extension for Cubase and Nuendo, bringing SpectraLayers magic directly into the DAW timeline.
