The new dimension of audio editing
With SpectraLayers Pro 12, Steinberg presents a high-end tool for spectral audio editing. The software offers a visual way of working that analyzes and edits audio material as a spectral representation - with surgical precision. Whether music production, post-production, sound design or forensics - SpectraLayers Pro 12 sets standards in all areas.
Advanced Unmix technology
A central highlight of SpectraLayers Pro 12 is the advanced Unmix technology. It allows you to precisely separate elements such as vocals, instruments, drums or sound effects into separate layers. New in version 12:
Unmix Soundtrack for dialog, music and effects - ideal for post-production.
Unmix Drums with separate recognition for hi-hats, kick, snare and cymbals.
Unmix Instrument Module for extracted editing of user-defined instruments.
Improved Unmix Noisy Speech module with intelligent noise separation.
These features offer even more detailed layer-based work and enable the creation of stems, remixes and restorations with exceptional quality.
Studio-level voice editing
SpectraLayers Pro 12 also sets new standards in the field of voice processing. State-of-the-art AI technologies such as the Voice Enhance Moduleautomatically remove noise, artifacts and tonal inconsistencies without affecting the naturalness of the voice. This is complemented by:
the De-Noise Module with greatly improved artifact reduction,
the new DePlosive Module for removing plosive sounds,
and the improved Transcription Module, which creates transcriptions faster and more precisely - even in multiple languages.
More efficient workflows for professionals
Thanks to extensive workflow optimizations, SpectraLayers Pro 12 is faster and more intuitive than ever before. The new Selection Editing allows selective editing directly in the spectrum - including transient and harmonic selection with automatic analysis. Other new features:
Layer Envelope Improvements for precise volume editing.
Improved Frequency & Harmonics Selection with extended control parameters.
Parallel usable VST3 effect modules, ideal for real-time processing of complex effect chains.
Grouping of ARA clips in ARA-compatible DAWs.
