Great move, Steinberg! I have been using SpectraLayers since V1, through the last Magix release V5. Totally agree with uarte, it is a fantastic app for audio/spectral editing and manipulation. Under Sony, it was innovative and great. Under Magix, it languished, and I was losing heart. When I got the upgrade notice to V6, I went through the “buy” process to check out my upgrade cost ($75 CDN — yay!) , and couldn’t understand why I was being directed to Steinberg. Now I know.
I don’t know all the enhancements, but this first Steinberg release (V6) being ARA2 compatible makes the upgrade essential to me. Magix had a clunky round-trip integration with Sound Forge that was barely worth the effort. ARA2 support in Wavelab can’t come soon enough.
