Sony SPECTRALAYERS-PRO
Audio Spectrum Editing Software, SPL1000

SpectraLayers is an extraordinary audio editing platform that features unprecedented sound shaping capabilities combined with a truly unique workflow. Explore audio data on a multidimensional spectral display. Unmix audio files into discrete component layers using a variety of smart editing tools. Process extracted layers individually in an unlimited number of ways. SpectraLayers is an essential application for engineers, sound designers, audio-for-video editors, archivists, and professionals who demand the deepest audio analysis tools. SpectraLayers brings today's most advanced editing tools to an eminently affordable and approachable platform—available for both Mac and PC.

Smart editing tools

The three Extraction tools in SpectraLayers Pro predict or intuit what your desired selection should be. They seek and highlight target audio material for extraction; the act of selection is accomplished by simply clicking the left mouse button and/or drawing in the spectral display.

• Extract Frequency - Here, tool behavior has been set to seek out a six-second section of the target frequency, which in this case happens to be a police siren wailing in an urban environment. One click will take the selection to a new layer where it can then be silenced via phase cancellation, or processed in isolation.
• Extract Harmonics - The Extract Harmonics tool explores all directions in a user-defined area, highlighting targeted sounds along with their associated overtones; one click will transfer an entire selection to a new layer. 
• Extract Area - The Extract Area tool is poised to transfer a large portion of audio content cleanly into the highlighted layer. Here, the tool is programmed for a 5000Hz range and a four-second time span, with 100% Hardness for the sharpest possible edge.

Layer-to-layer copy/paste

Quickly identify and extract target frequency ranges, then use the full menu of SpectraLayers Pro resources for processing new layers in isolation.

View, modify, and draw tools

SpectraLayers Pro is a world of sound and vision all its own. From scientific analysis and R&D, to purely creative work using frequencies and noise, the configurable View, Modify, and Draw tools are there for you to use on any layer, at any time.

Three-step audio extraction

Removing precisely targeted audio from a sound file with the 'highlight, extract, and invert' method, is easy in SpectraLayers Pro.

Noise reduction

SpectraLayers Pro invites you to open an audio file, extract the elements you need, and leave the rest behind; it's a new way of thinking about noise reduction!
