SpectraLayers brings something new to the mix, as it were, in the form of layers, which we'll look at shortly.

Spectral audio displays are nothing new, and neither, for that matter, is spectral editing: Izotope's RX and Magix's Sequoia provide a spectral editor, and the concept of using a frequency axis for audio selection crops up in consumer-level programs like Roland's R-Mix. The program represents audio using a multi-dimensional, spectral display, and allows it to be edited in both the time and the frequency domains. SpectraLayers Pro is a spectral audio editor published by Sony Creative Software but developed by Divide Frame, a small French company who retain its copyright. Without them, you'll still have an excellent cake underneath.With some innovative concepts borrowed from photo-manipulation software, Sony aim to make spectral editing creative as well as useful.Īudio layers are shown in the spectral display in green, or in red if selected. The other effects will be like candy sprinkles on the top. You will be able to render an excellent mix with nothing but eq and compression. It won't necessarily help you right at this moment, but later on you'll be glad you did. Later on, more advanced mixing techniques won't make sense.Įssentially, you need to hone your ear, your eq skills, and your understanding of compression. Also, you'll be missing out on parts of the learning curve. However, using plugs when there is an actual way to accomplish the same thing without them leads to bad habits.

A word of warning: I know it seems easier in the short term to find some sort of plug to handle most any task. Unfortunately, for good results, there is no quick and easy way to learn all of it. This stuff just takes lots of time and lots of practice. You're probably not ready for that yet, but look around for instructions on how to do it. Conversely, you can try a parametric sweep. But start at 12KHz and move around with your low pass filter. The hiss can be found at various frequencies, depending on what's causing it. The slope is much like the Q on your equalizer.

If you set the high pass filter to cut off at, oh say 150Hz, anything below that will be rolled off, particularly with an extreme slope. Your eq should have the ability to hi/low pass.
