SPL SpectraLayers Pro 13 Spectral Editing Software

When audio problems are visible, they become far easier to solve. Steinberg SpectraLayers Pro 13 spectral editing software turns sound into a detailed visual workspace, giving producers, post-production professionals and sound designers a hands-on way to isolate, repair and reshape audio. Its layer-based, nondestructive workflow supports precise manual editing alongside AI-assisted processes for extraction, restoration and creative manipulation. Unmix Song can separate up to seven instruments, while dedicated tools address multiple voices, noisy speech, clip damage, unwanted noise and reverb. From salvaging a compromised recording to building new textures from a sample, SpectraLayers Pro 13 provides the control to work directly with the components inside an audio file rather than treating it as a single, fixed waveform.

See, Select and Refine Audio Visually

SpectraLayers presents audio on a spectral graph, where musical elements, transients, noise and other details can be identified by sight as well as sound. Its comprehensive spectral editing toolset includes the Eraser, Frequency Repair and Transient Pencil, allowing focused work on selected material without broadly affecting the rest of a recording. Extract selections to independent layers, then process, mix or render them as needed. That combination of broad editing and microscopic intervention is particularly useful when a conventional waveform edit cannot cleanly separate the material that needs attention.

AI-Assisted Repair for Clearer Source Material

Repair and restoration processes help turn difficult source audio into more usable material. Clip Repair, Voice Denoiser, Noise Reduction and Reverb Reduction address common cleanup needs, while EQ Match, Ambience Match and Reverb Match help maintain a more natural sense of continuity when editing. The Transcription process adds another practical tool for speech-oriented work. For dialogue, interviews, podcast production and recorded performances, these processes give users targeted options for reducing distractions and rebuilding clarity without abandoning a detailed, visual editing approach.

Flexible Spectral Editing for Modern Workflows

For creative and corrective sessions alike, SpectraLayers Pro 13 combines its stand-alone workflow with ARA 2, VST3 and AAX plug-in support. ARA integration enables nondestructive spectral editing on the DAW timeline in compatible applications, including Cubase and Nuendo. The AI-powered Unmix Song process separates up to 7 instruments, while Unmix Multiple Voices and Unmix Noisy Speech provide focused extraction options for more specialized material. Whether refining a recording, preparing stems or reshaping a sample, Steinberg SpectraLayers Pro 13 brings deep spectral control to contemporary audio workflows.
