What SpectraLayers Pro is

SpectraLayers Pro is a spectral audio editor that represents sounds as visual objects for editing, repair, restoration, and sound design. Pro 13 adds Unmix Sound Effects to separate 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 as a standalone application or 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 be sent back to the calling application with File › Replace Project Audio. Pro 13 supports macOS 12, 13, 14, 15, and 26 on Intel and Apple silicon, plus Windows 10 and 11 64-bit from version 21H2; Windows 11 on Arm requires 24H2 or later. The Pro and Elements editions share an installer, with the license determining which opens. Standalone installation requires Steinberg Activation Manager. A free trial is available; there is no free plan.
