I started with the standalone to get some familiarity and separated a song into layers and worked some with them.
from what I know now, it might have been better to use as cubase 13 plug-in, as I have the song there already. So I was trying to export the layers. 1st attempt saved as a project with layers. cubase doesn’t see. Then I chose export layers. Again Cubase doesn’t see as import choice. So do I have to start all over with about 30 minutes just to unmix again, within Cubase?
No!
You can Export Layers into a folder (as you did) and import into Cubase from that folder, or just drag the files from the folder into the Cubase project window. Anyway - it’s a two way process…
So I got the layers into Cubase as tracks. I want to adjust the bass as it was out of time. It doesn’t seem to show clipping but I can’t split the track where I can’t see the audio as it is all expanded to the top, while in the audio editor there is no scissor icon. And using vari-audio splits it up so much it doesn’t seem to make sense. I don’t actually hear clipping.
So then I expanded horizontally greatly and it did look like clipping. I opened Spectralayers extension, within cubase as I had done before, but this time, instead of a window where the audio editor would be, it opened a window separate from Cubase, but with the bass part. So I chose declip but it looks no different in Cubase. As the Spectralayer windos are floating Windows, they disappear when I do screen snip.
I’m confused about how to work with these together.
I am starting all over as I see that the layered parts extend well beyond the song itself. Splitting within Cubase. When in Cubase, how can I stop Spectolayers from going back to the start each time I make a new selection, instead of staying where I stopped?
Can’t be done?
Preferences… → Interface → Default Transport Options → Return to Start Position on Stop
Thanks for that solution,. I unchecked. But then wehen I play the layer and drag a new frequency range, it still goes back to the start.
Return to start on stop is unchecked, but whenever I select a new region, it goes to start, which I don’t want as I am trying different frequencies in a region and it makes no sense to keep leaving the region.
It worked fine here after restarting SpectraLayers…
Within cubase?
No - it’s within SpectraLayers…
In Cubase 13: Transport menu → Start Mode: Start from Project Cursor Position → Pick Your Choice…
(Found it from the Help menu in Cubase)
Hope it helps…
I am using Spectralayers within Cubase, so when I click a new frequency in a layer, it jumps back to the begining. Cubase is already set to start where cursor is, but that doesn’t apply when using Spectrolayer within Cubase. That will run at its own independently and out of sync while a layer plays within Spectralayers.
