SpectraLayers’ layers serve much the same purpose, but work with sound rather than pictures. SpectraLayers is built around the concept of layers (the clue’s in the name!) and this is borrowed directly from the world of photo- and image- editing software, where the user copies portions of an image, or imports new image content, to a new layer in order to make modifications that don’t destroy the original underlying material. SpectraLayers also comes with a standalone app that works independently of your DAW, and so doesn’t require the ARA2 support. This new version will run within any DAW that supports the ARA2 plug-in format, and has been designed to integrate particularly closely with Cubase and Nuendo, where it can replace the standard audio editor for audio parts assigned to the plug-in. The DAW pioneer has now released version 6 for Windows and macOS. Magix went on to release versions 4 and 5 of the software before the tech found yet another new home earlier this year with Steinberg. The SpectraLayers technology started life with Sony, which published version 1 in 2012, but it passed to Magix when it acquired the bulk of Sony’s media software a couple of years ago. This is precisely what Steinberg’s new SpectraLayers Pro 6 audio editor has been designed to do. TLDR?

Want to isolate a vocal track? Want to remove the drums? No problem! Stop traipsing around dodgy torrents and start taking these separation tools seriously! Its’ time to up your remix game! Now, however, thanks to recent advances in spectral analysis and machine learning, a number of tools have arrived to intuitively and impressively strip a bounced stereo audio file into separate spectral components with the click of a button. And at the end of this escapade, you’d likely end up with a clumsily EQ’d version barely concealing the drum tracks underneath while filtering out more than half the emotion of the performance! If you just needed an acapella, you would likely be forced to brave a variety of dodgy forums and torrent sites to find the vocal you were looking for. Once upon a time, if you wanted to remix a tune you needed stems supplied by the original producer to do it properly.
Want to isolate a vocal track? Want to remove the drums? We review four of the best stem separation tools and focus on which is the best for DJs and live remix performances.
