Users can adjust specific areas / portions of the spectrum and draw with special tools.Ī total of 22 different tools are available in SpectraLayers (sets of brushes, paints, etc.), as well as editors for frequency, amplitude, time. The application allows you to change the structure of the audio signal through visual graphical editing. Steinberg SpectraLayers Pro has a new engine, an improved interface with additional windows, new tools for spectrum editing, a redesigned hint system and support for the ARA format, thanks to which the program can be used in Cubase and Nuendo workstations. The application can be used at certain stages of mixing / mastering, as well as for restoring the sound information of tracks. It can do other tasks, somewhat DJ-oriented, such as time-stretch & pitch-shift but they're not under consideration for this QA.Īs new products become available, please add to this starter list.Steinberg has released a new version of the SpectraLayers Pro program designed for editing the spectral component of audio tracks. It opens by default showing your iTunes music library, but you can drag & drop files to it too. Results can be a bit phasey but it doesn't do too bad a job. It's less comprehensive than RX, but it is real-time & needs no pre-processing. IZotope has many audio cleanup functions, but here is the Music Rebalance plugin, which can isolate 4 types of music data - Voice, Bass, Percussion, Other.Īfter that, a new kid on the block is Neural Mix Pro, free download, but 50 USD to enable the save function. The most comprehensive of these so far is iZotope RX Various versions from 99 to 1000 USD. Results are not perfect every time, but are getting reasonably close these days. There are now applications designed to do exactly this task - isolate parts of a complete mix & allow you to change their relative levels including total removal or isolation of sections such as vocals, drums, bass or 'instruments'. These days, what used to be referred to as "the holy grail of the misinformed" is getting closer to actuality.
