Sony’s training, while good, needs to focus on how to make users succeed with the software more quickly. Its manual is written for experienced users rather than beginners, the software takes time to learn, and results get better with practice. SpectraLayers Pro does magic, but it isn’t automatic.

For example, it allows you to remove a siren from the background of dialog, or a saxophone from a live recording of a trio, or the sound of a jet flying overhead. In brief, what the software allows you to do is to remove individual sounds from an audio file without affecting the rest of the audio in the file. So, when they asked me to review their software, I jumped at the chance. I’ve heard of SpectraLayers Pro 2, from Sony Creative Software, for a long time.
