Five
configurable
extraction
tools—Area,

Harmonics,
Shape,
and
Noise—predict
what
your
desired

should
be. Dial
them in
to
highlight

Layer-to-layer
copy/paste
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.
Three-step
audio
extraction
In
this
example,
a
beat
loop
from
Iced,
a
Sony
Sound
Series
sample
library,
is
loaded
into
SpectraLayers
Pro
2
for
some
creative
deconstruction.
When
a
sound
file
is
first
imported,
the
view
is
zoomed
all
the
way
out.
This
screenshot
shows
the
frequency
spectrum
(vertical
axis)
all
the
way
up
to
22,000
Hz.
Three-step
audio
extraction
Using
Shift+Scroll
Wheel
adjusts
the
view
until
the
frequency
range
is
narrowed
down
to
0-600
Hz.
The
new
view
provides
ideal
visual
access
to
relevant
audio
material.
After
creating
a
new
empty
layer
and
naming
it
Backbeat,
we
use
the
Extract
Harmonics
Tool
to
copy
over
four
synthetic
percussion
hits
(shown
here
in
yellow).
Only
one
mouse
click
per
hit
is
required
for
complete
extraction!
Spectral
Casting/Spectral
Molding™
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
enormous
sound
design
capabilities
of this
feature
are
poised
to take
creative
music
and
sound
design
to an
unprecedented
new
level.
