What it is
SpectraLayers Pro is a spectral audio editor that displays sounds as visual objects for editing, repair, restoration, and sound design. Pro 13 adds Unmix Sound Effects for separating short sounds from continuous backgrounds such as wind, crowds, traffic, and nature. Ambience Heal fills spectral gaps using ambience from the source layer, while Reconstruct resynthesizes selected spectral data. Voice DeClick removes mouth noises, and Voice DeCrosstalk isolates unwanted voices from a target voice. The software supports batch processing and can run standalone or as an external editor. Listed integrations include Ableton Live, Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Reaper, DaVinci Resolve, FL Studio, ACID Pro, Vegas Pro, KONTAKT, REAKTOR, HALion, and Tracktion Waveform. Edited audio can return to the calling application. Pro 13 supports specified macOS releases on Intel and Apple silicon, plus Windows 10 and 11 64-bit from version 21H2; Windows 11 on Arm requires 24H2 or later.
