The Issue for OP is that he has to learn new ways of thinking. Not sure how that would prevent folks cutting an hour-long 'nightmare' into 5-min slices. make the 'Studio-version' limited to 5 minutes. My only concern (for Sony, though I shouldn't perhaps), is that I don't see what bits could be removed and still make the program good. at least you will know where all the basic features are and could build on that. in the same way MS platinum is trying to hook us into Vegas Pro. the purpose being to get practice in the art. I fear SL is outside my price-range and wonder that a cut-down version shouldn't be made available. You know where the paint should go, but it won't! Maybe I liken it to painting Christmas cards with your feet, after an accident. but this is a tall-task and we/The Public have to get used to the process, learn tricks and so on. I watched two Webinars, the latest with the Siren was pretty good too, but even after quite a bit of work there was a hint of the siren where it was 'removed' - I guess with some extra effort it might approach zero. Sorry to see that option go, painfully slow though it was! Believe it or not, that crazy level of resolution in version 1 saved my life with a faint but obnoxious 119 Hz hum in a file: only at that size was the hum clearly visible amid other room noise in the recording. I bought version 2 and see improvements, although I noticed that the Window Size options now stop at 32,768 instead of 65,536. The update that came in version 1 may have fixed some things but broke others. That said, I am disappointed at the support we've seen for the product. Soon enough, you'll begin to think within this new paradigm and begin to develop your own style with the tools. Work through the procedures until the syntax seems more natural to you. And be prepared to watch some of them more than once. So I'm both frustrated and amazed simultaneously. It's that obtuse!īut it's also that brilliant. Gary Rebholz did a great job of explaining the software and showing examples of editing tasks - though even with all that material, when you go to do it yourself, you're bound to leave out something and be forced to review the video again. In my case, I found that purchasing the training videos was an absolute necessity and was money extremely well spent. Perhaps, in return for that complex capability, we must sacrifice some user-friendliness and give Sony a bit of a break.

SpectraLayers is absolutely extraordinary in its power to separate a recording into component parts and modify things you want to manipulate in some way.
