Hi, still pretty new to Spectrallayers, just trying to get my head around the workflow and interface…which so far feels a bit quirky…
But anyways, I’m trying to get a room tone from a recording, so there’s room tone and a bit of creeks and small stuff going on but I want to just keep the room tone. In RX this is a very simple process but I can’t make it work in SL,it just adds noise to the same clip?
So just to get it straight:
You are trying to match the room tone of one segment to that of another segment, right?
I agree that ambiance match in SL is a bit quirky, in that in 100% match it seems to add to the existing room tone, instead of replacing it.
I have good results by carefully registering the ambience (meaning getting a spot where it is just as I want it to be) and then applying it multiple times with a smaller match percentage, usually lower than 50%.
If you can’t get garbage-free room tone I think it is beneficial that you clean it up first, before registering it.
Hi, thanks, maybe it just works differently to RX… in RX you can analyze the room tone or ambience in a clip and then render just the room tone, without having to do any other cleaning.
Yup!
I think a good thing to keep in mind when using SL is that unless explicitly said to the contrary, everything works differently to RX.
Lol, life lesson right there. 
@AlexBell if I understand you well, you’d like a “Replace” mode in addition to the “Mix” mode ?
@robin_lobel even if wouldn’t, I would!
that would be super great.
=)
Hi Robin, not sure what the modes are called but like I said, in RX you check the “ambience only” and then you get a whole clip of steady amb or room tone, analyzed from your original audio clip.
Yes, that what a Replace mode would do, regardless of the existing content. It’s coming with patch 5 in a couple weeks.
Ok cool, thanks Robin.
Robin is a beast of a developer.
