New Features New features in SpectraLayers One 8.0.0 Highlights Improved Eraser and Amplifier tools • You can now limit the eraser and amplifier tools to an absolute level, picked from the spectrogram. See [Eraser] and [Amplifier]. Improved Transforms • You can now use semitone units for the transform tool and transform edit. See Transform and [Transforming Content]. More New Features Save Selections with Projects • Saved selections are now saved with projects, and can be recalled after loading projects.
Introduction Spectral… In most audio applications, audio is displayed as a waveform that represents audio in the time domain (amplitude vs. time): This representation shows the global power of sound; however it doesn’t show what’s inside the sound. Spectral data represents sound in the frequency domain. You can think of it like a musical score: the higher the peaks in the spectrogram, the higher the tones; the stronger the peaks, the stronger the tones.
…Layers The layer system, similar to tracks in a DAW, allows you to refine your work extensively in a nondestructive way, thanks to transfer operations and the additive and subtractive nature of layer mixing. If you cut and paste data from one layer to a different layer, you transfer data nondestructively: the sum of the two layers is identical to the source data, but you have full control over the state of the data you extracted to that new layer.
• Transform tools allows the user to shift layers and selections in time or to rescale (pitchshift, time-stretch) them. • Selection tools allow the user to select spectral data. • Modification tools allow the user to retouch spectral data. • Drawing tools generate spectral data from scratch. • Measure tools give the user specific information about spectral data. • Navigation tools allows the user to navigate the spectrogram. 8 SpectraLayers One 8.0.

Getting Started Beneath its streamlined interface, SpectraLayers One provides you with powerful tools for spectral editing. This topic will help you find your way around the application so you can unlock its full potential. 1. When you first start SpectraLayers One, the tools are unavailable until you open a file or create a project. 2. We’ll create a project by opening an existing audio file. Click File › Open to open an audio file. It will become the first layer of your project.
pitch of sounds in your audio file. You can play your audio file by clicking the Play button at the bottom or pressing Space . 3. Before performing any edits, you need to select a layer. Click the layer in the Layers panel to select it if it isn’t already selected. A selected layer is highlighted in the Layers panel. 4. The first step in most editing is selecting data in the spectrogram. Let’s create some selections. Take a closer look at some frequencies.
Experiment with different FFT sizes to find the setting that allows you to see each line clearly. 6. Let’s select some frequencies so we can cut them and paste them to a new layer. Click the + With the Rectangular Selection tool in the Tools toolbar. Add to Selection button in the Tool Settings toolbar selected (or by holding down the Shift key), click a few frequencies on top of each others, and see how they are also highlighted. It means they have been added to the selection.
b. Click the New Layer button at the bottom of the Layers Panel (or choose Layer › New) to create a new layer. Notice the new layer is highlighted, meaning it’s now the active layer. c. Choose Edit › Paste or press Ctrl + V (Windows) Cmd + V (macOS). Notice the spectral color of that layer match its color setting in the Layers panel. TIP 2.
The Importance of FFT Size As mentionned in the Getting Started section, the FFT Size parameter (found in the Display Panel) is quite important for several tools and processes in SpectraLayers One.
So sometime you may need to focus on the more horizontal parts, sometime on more angled parts, or verticals, or find a compromise to see most of what’s important nearly in focus. Here’s the same example under 3 differents FFT Size: As you can notice, some parts are more precisely defined depending on FFT Size chosen. It’s up to you to decide what is relevant and needs to be the most precisely defined. 15 SpectraLayers One 8.0.
User Interface 1. The Tools provide direct access to spectral transforms, selections, modifications, drawings, measurements, and navigation. 2. The Tool Settings show parameters for the currently active tool, so you can fine-tune each tool to your needs. 3. The Overview Bar, Timeline and 3D Pad display a schematic view of your project and help you navigate. 4. The Waveform Display shows the amplitude of the layers in your project. 5.
Tools Area 1. Transform Tools can move and scale layers and spectral selections. 2. Selection Tools offers a variety of shapes and algorithms to select spectral data. 3. Modification Tools apply direct modifications to the spectrogram. 4. Measurement Tools provides measurements and annotations on your spectrogram. 5. Navigation Tools let you visualize and hear your spectrogram in details.
Waveform and Spectral Display Area The Waveform Display shows the amplitude of the layers in your project. You can’t directly act on it, except for moving individual wave samples. It is more used as a visualization and navigation display. At the right of the waveform display is the amplitude scale. Use it to zoom vertically, either by using the mouse wheel or the scroll bar on the right side. The top of the amplitude scale displays the current power unit. See how to Define Units and Scales.
Panels Area 1. The Display Panel lets you adjust every display settings in real time : area, amplitude, spectrogram parameters, etc. 2. The History Panel lets you go back in time with your edits : undo or redo any action. 3. The Channels Panel lets you mute, solo, activate or deactivate any channel of your project. 4. The Layers Panel gives you an oversight of your layers and let you mute, solo, activate them or adjust their phase and volume. 19 SpectraLayers One 8.0.
Transport Bar Area The Transport Bar provides access to transport commands (Play, Stop, Rewind, Record…), the current timing of the playhad, and a VU meter. 20 SpectraLayers One 8.0.
