So, despite its advanced technology, SpectraLayers is immediately familiar and instantly powerful. To make this approach intuitive, SpectraLayers employs the model of high-end image editors - not just the interface, but what you can do with sound and how you do it.
It extends the traditional visualization of spectral editors to every aspect of editing sounds, including how they mix together. SpectraLayers is the first completely visual editing system for audio. And all in a familiar interface that you didn’t realize you already knew. Integrate these abilities into your DAW and other tools. Visualize audio in astonishing new ways, including 3D. For the first time you can directly edit spectral data, opening advanced sonic worlds, and use innovative enhancements to traditional techniques. That's a good thing.Īnd one day I may even grow accustomed to the computer version of "rocking the reels" to locate the edit point.SpectraLayers is a new approach to audio editing, with new concepts to transform the way you work. Now what I can NOT do with a razor blade - not anywhere near as quickly or accurately - is "undo", and thus our current tools do provide us with the opportunity to try many ideas. The difference continues to shrink, but it is finite. I believe that, for the most part, I can still make edits faster, and more accurately, with a razor blade. One needs a lot less experience to do the same with one's ears. One can, given enough experience, get close with the eyes. It is simply another view of audio data, and one that - for me at least - just isn't all that necessary most of the time.Īnd, at least to this curmudgeon, audio editing and mixing should be done with the ears, not the eyes. I think the price far exceeds the utility. I've used it, back when Sound Forge owned it (well, whoever owned Sound Forge that week). It is a remarkable tool, and I suppose you could extend it to mix, but mostly, as mentioned above, it is an editing/repair tool.
