## SpectraLayers Reviews
  ### 1. A great advanced audio editing and analysis tool.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Adan R. | MIDI Producer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 25, 2021

**What do you like best about SpectraLayers?**

I did not know about this Tool before, but since the Steinberg company acquired this software and integrated it flawlessly into Cubase 11 it is truly a marvel. What I like the most is the possibility of separating the tracks of any song with artificial intelligence for analysis; Also, the audio restoration tools are very good.

**What do you dislike about SpectraLayers?**

Since I learned how to use this tool and integrated it into my DAW, it has become a must have in my work day. Although I think the artificial intelligence that separates the tracks still has a long way to go. Another thing I don't like is that the editing processes are loaded directly into the Cubase project, which significantly increases file size and loading times.

**Recommendations to others considering SpectraLayers:**

I recommend using only one editing process with this tool at a time, as modified files are saved directly above the project, significantly increasing file weight and loading times.

**What problems is SpectraLayers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have been able to do detailed analysis using the tools of spectral analysis and artificial intelligence that separate each of the tracks into individual audios.

  ### 2. Old but gold

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tony V. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2018

**What do you like best about SpectraLayers?**

It is the most detailed audio editor that I've ever used. If you're someone like me who is very visual, you'll definitely enjoy working with this software.

**What do you dislike about SpectraLayers?**

Unfortunately, since it got bought by Magix, there hasn't been much improvement in the software itself.

**Recommendations to others considering SpectraLayers:**

Even now that the product is distributed by MAGIX, it's still the same as when it was with Sony. 
The bad thing here is that there's no more improvements on the program, not even planned.
I am no longer an user because I found a better choice.

**What problems is SpectraLayers solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Editing the audio for a commercial we filmed for Ford Motor Company for a Ford Fusion commercial.
