  • Threshold range editing – limits interpolation to certain amplitudes in the spectrum to allow for certain notes to be removed from the spectrum without influencing background signals
  • Automatic click marker recognition – highlight special points by quickly jumping between or deleting markers in the spectrogram
  • SpectraLayers Pro 4 full version – external audio editor visualizes the frequency spectrum in layers and enables a powerful workflow for restoration, sound design, and mixing

Audio Editing
• • DeNoiser – uses advanced adaptive filter technology to remove noise from recordings
  • DeHisser – eliminates regular, low-level "white" noise, typically produced by recordings, microphone pre-amplifiers or transformers
  • DeClipper – removes clipping and distortions
