This update is for owners of SpectraLayers Elements 9 to 12 and brings them up to SpectraLayers Elements 13. A valid licence of the version named is required.

SpectraLayers Elements 13 is the entry-level edition of the spectral editor and has everything you need for routine audio repair and restoration work. SpectraLayers makes sounds visible on a spectral graph, so you can correct errors precisely, erase unwanted sounds and shape audio directly. The Elements edition includes automatic noise and hum reduction processes, Click Repair and selected AI-assisted processes such as vocal unmixing (Unmix Vocals). You work layer-based and non-destructively with tools such as Eraser and Frequency Repair, and with ARA 2 you can launch SpectraLayers directly inside Cubase, Nuendo and a host of applications from other developers.
