Spectacular Spectral Processing

From its intuitive user interface and revamped waveform display to advanced features such as the 3D Displace view and 8-channel surround-sound support, Sony SpectraLayers Pro 3 makes frequency-based audio editing more powerful and straightforward than ever. You'll find endless uses for SpectraLayers Pro 3's powerhouse tools set, whether you're into audio restoration, mixing, mastering, sound design, or any other audio field. Easy-to-use selection tools make isolating even minute frequency ranges simple, and color-coded layers allow you to change how isolated audio interacts, with processes ranging from phase cancellation and mixing, to casting/molding, tuning, and even roundtrip processing in Sony Sound Forge Pro.

  • A must-have app for forensics and audio restoration
  • Mastering tools let you fix problems after the mix
  • Spectral casting and molding let you create tighter mixes
A must-have app for forensics and audio restoration

From basic noise reduction to extreme sonic isolation, Sony SpectraLayers Pro 3 lets you perform sound-editing miracles with astonishing efficiency. Using SpectraLayers Pro 3's intuitive selection tools, you can easily select a specific frequency range, mark the pattern as noise, and remove or reduce those sounds from the mix. Likewise, SpectraLayers Pro 3's harmonic selection tool lets you smoothly isolate hum and other static noises, as well as their overtones, and phase cancel them.

Mastering tools let you fix problems after the mix

Virtually every engineer here at Sweetwater has had the eye-rolling experience of being told to "fix it in the mix." But what about when the mix is done? In the past, your options would have been pretty limited, but with Sony SpectraLayers Pro 3, the rules have change. That's because SpectraLayers Pro 3 lets you unmix your audio by selectively isolating frequencies, splitting them off to new layers, and even sending them out to other applications for further processing. And if you use Sony SoundForge Pro, then round-trip editing is virtually automatic.

Spectral casting and molding let you create tighter mixes

Lets take a moment to look at one of the most recent powerful additions to SpectraLayers Pro 3: spectral casting and molding. When it comes to mixing, this virtually automatic process is invaluable, because it lets you use one layer to carve a sonic hole in another layer, giving two conflicting tracks enough room to breathe. A textbook application for this is to import your mix minus vocals on one layer and to use your vocal stem on another layer to cast an impression on the rest of the mix. Another great use for this function is to resolve the sonic space between your bass and kick drum with far better results than traditional ducking.

Sony SpectraLayers Pro 3 Frequency Editing Software Features:
  • Powerful frequency-based spectral audio-editing tool for Mac and Windows PCs
  • An ideal solution for audio restoration, forensics, mixing, mastering, and sound design
  • Isolate, process, and mix frequency-specific layers of audio in a spectral environment
  • Intuitive user interface and frequency selection tools make operation simple
  • Rotatable 3D Displace view gives you a detailed and dimensional approach to editing
  • Powerful noise-reduction tools let you remove hum and noise with surgical precision
  • Automated round-trip integration with Sound Forge Pro streamlines advanced editing
