Yeah probably I’ve chosen a rough kind to encourage people to try Spectralayers but it actually was my aim. When I read words like underwhelmed I mostly suspect wrong expectations. Spectralayers as I got into it even is no audio editor like wavelab or soundforge. There are no VSTs, no automation tasks, mastering tools, bells and whistles. That scared me a bit when I stepped into it. But then I understood that it makes absolutely sense, when I got the basic paradigm. But then it was a little relevation and the next steps in learning were really easy.
Sadly there is a recent phenomenon of simple solutions for complex issues claimed not only
by the audio production market.
And by the way; I advocate the appeal for tutorials and extending the 50% deal as the demo period absolutely.
Peace
