Videos
• Introduction (01:50) - Welcome to Sony SpectraLayers Pro 3 Explained. Learn a new way of creatively working with audio by manipulating its waveform.
• Installation & Authorization (02:57) - Let's walk step by step through the simple installation and authorization process.
• Setting Up Preferences (03:30) - In this chapter you'll learn how to configure your audio device and familiarize yourself with some of the user preferences.
• Project & Audio Handling (04:35) - Learn how SpectraLayers handles projects and audio.
• Audio Waveforms (02:25) - In this segment, learn the fundamentals of reading an audio waveform, and about the science behind FFT's and transfer functions. Then we'll tie it all together and see how it relates to SpectraLayers.
• Navigating (03:49) - Here we'll break apart the different sections of the interface and get a birds eye view of how to navigate through the software.
• Spectral Selection Tools Pt. 1 (05:06) - In this chapter we'll learn the basics of viewing and selecting spectral material and see how we can adjust the spectral display so that we can better view spectral content.
• Spectral Selection Tools Pt. 2 (07:44) - As we continue learning about spectral selection, we'll dive into the 6 different selection tools at our disposal.
• Using Layers (04:08) - Discover how we can use layers to separate spectral material and control them separately. Remix spectral content just like you would in DAW software.
• Spectral Processing (06:04) - Once we have spectral components selected, there are some incredible processing tools at our disposal to start manipulating the spectral content of our audio.
• Casting & Molding (05:53) - Lets get really creative and use spectral content to cast and mold shapes into other audio spectrums!
• Staying Organized (05:09) - Find out how to measure your audio and use these measurements to your advantage. Get organized and learn how to integrate metadata, markers, and regions!
• Merging & Exporting (04:46) - Finalize your creation and turn it into a new audio file for further processing in other editing software like SoundForge or other popular editors.
