I think I’ve just scratched the surface with how I use it, but from reading improved bleed features(What Is New in SpectraLayers 9 | Steinberg) it soubds like you can do further stem separation than just drums bass vocal and other?
i.e. separate the other track to guitar and piano
or separate the individual drum parts?
Is that correct, if yes is it an automated feature or does it require manual minipulation? And is it available in V8 or only the latest version?
The purpose of the de-bleed process is not to separate stems, but to remove bleeding when you have a multi-track recording with several instruments. Due to the mics being close to each other, instruments tends to “bleed” into the other tracks. De-bleeding analyse the different tracks in order to remove the bleeding of the other instruments.
Okay, I figured it out.
For others that may need it:
