First distributed by Sony Creative Software and then by Magix Software, the developers behind SpectraLayers have now joined forces with Steinberg to release its sixth iteration.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other audio editors, SpectraLayers offers a novel approach to audio editing, allowing users to visualize audio in the spectral domain (in 2D and 3D) and to manipulate its spectral data in many different ways.<\/p>\n<p>With its 25 advanced tools, SpectraLayers Pro 6 provides precision-editing within the spectral domain, comparable with the editing capabilities applied in high-performance photo editing software: modification, selection, measurement and drawing.<\/p>\n<p>The features newly introduced in SpectraLayers Pro 6 include ARA 2 support; next to the standalone application, version 6 offers an ARA plug-in that seamlessly integrates into every ARA 2 compatible DAW, such as Nuendo and Cubase, to be used as a native editor. Fades along the selection border are one of the innovative features in SpectraLayers, and Pro 6 now includes visible fade masks and allows users to select from the many available fade types. SpectraLayers\u2019 advanced selection engine now comprises nine revamped selection tools \u2014 including the new Transient Selector \u2014 making selections more flexible to use. The new Move tool helps users transform audio intuitively: grab layers to activate and move or scale them. What\u2019s more, SpectraLayers Pro 6 provides external editor integration, allowing users to include other editor software so that any selection can be processed by them as well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2230\" src=\"https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/63490-large-1024x298.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/63490-large-1024x298.png 1024w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/63490-large-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/63490-large-768x223.png 768w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/63490-large-1536x447.png 1536w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/63490-large-696x203.png 696w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/63490-large-1392x405.png 1392w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/63490-large-1068x311.png 1068w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/63490-large-1920x559.png 1920w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/63490-large-1443x420.png 1443w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/63490-large.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new version of SpectraLayers offers a refined and more intuitive user interface inspired by picture editors, and a brand-new selection system combining multiple fade masks, bringing spectral editing and remixing to a whole new level. We&#8217;re also excited by the possibilities unlocked by the new ARA connection between SpectraLayers, Cubase and Nuendo, bringing spectral mixing and editing right within your DAW,\u201d said Robin Lobel, creator of SpectraLayers.<\/p>\n<p>The user interface of SpectraLayers Pro 6 has completely been redesigned to build on the original use of image editing software, and the result is a powerful, intuitive program that feels familiar right away. The menus have been redesigned and the panels are collapsible; the Layers panel is customizable; and users can now refer to comprehensive tool tip documentation and a new user manual.<\/p>\n<p>Steinberg\u2019s Marketing Manager Luis Dongo commented: \u201cWe are very excited to welcome SpectraLayers to our product portfolio. SpectraLayers nicely complements the other Steinberg products and can be integrated into Cubase and Nuendo as an ARA extension. This allows users to delve deeper into their audio files and edit them in the spectral domain without ever having to leave their DAW. And it even works together with WaveLab and HALion. With SpectraLayers, we can now offer every single tool necessary to make the most out of any audio signal!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Availability and pricing<\/p>\n<p>The full retail version of SpectraLayers Pro 6 is available as download through the Steinberg Online Shop at the suggested retail price of 399 euros, including German VAT, together with various downloadable updates from previous versions.<\/p>\n<p>Key features<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Surgical and intuitive spectral editing with 25 real-time tools<br \/>\n\u2022 Advanced Selection Engine<br \/>\n\u2022 Selection-based effects<br \/>\n\u2022 The only visual transformation system for sound<br \/>\n\u2022 Tracks, Regions and Clips separated as Layers<br \/>\n\u2022 ARA 2 and AAX compatibility<br \/>\n\u2022 Integration of other audio editors, such as WaveLab or iZotope RX<br \/>\n\u2022 12 remappable surround channels<br \/>\n\u2022 2D and 3D visualization of the Spectrogram<br \/>\n\u2022 Native restoration effects, spectral noise reduction and reverb removal<\/p>\n<p>For more information: www.steinberg.net\/spectralayers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now part of the comprehensive Steinberg product portfolio, SpectraLayers Pro 6 comes with exciting new features and workflow integrations, providing an innovative way to edit audio in the spectral domain.
