SpectraLayers Pro 2 is the revolutionary, award-winning software application that stands as the undisputed leader in today's audio spectrum editing movement. Extracting, layering, and processing audio in the spectral realm is now even quicker and easier in SpectraLayers Pro 2, which features a significantly faster processing engine, seamless interoperability with Sound Forge Pro 11, and a host of new tools, methodologies, and user interface improvements for even more convenience, creative options, and enhanced workflow. Spectral editing capability is now an expected, essential, and affordable tool for all audio professionals.

Five configurable extraction tools–Area, Frequency, Harmonics, Shape, and Noise–predict what your desired selection should be. Dial them in to highlight only what you need, quickly, cleanly, and intuitively.

SpectraLayers Pro 2 takes audio copy and paste functionality into whole new dimensions. Shuttling blocks of sound between layers can be useful in analysis and repair tasks as well as for radically creative arranging, rearranging, and sound remixing.

In SpectraLayers Pro 2, you can use the frequency spectrum of one layer as a mold or cast for carving an impression of its frequency signature directly into the spectrum of a second layer. The resulting third layer—called the impression layer—can then be shaped with any process. You can even invert its phase and combine it with the second layer to create a wide-open space for the first layer to breathe, free from any problematic sonic interference or masking caused by the second layer. The creative possibilities are limitless. Spectral Casting/Spectral Molding can be a far more elegant approach than simple ducking, and the enormous sound design capabilities of this new feature are poised to take creative music and sound design to an unprecedented new level.

The new Shape tool in SpectraLayers Pro 2 makes intuitive selection of sounds in the spectrum easier than ever. Perfect for extracting drum sounds, simply point and click to pull your hits to the active layer.
