This is one of the most important tools for my works. From the day I installed Spectralayers 11 it seems that it doesn’t work as it should.
Actually it doesn’t select any transient as it should, instead, it selects all the area.
I’m going to uninstall SL 11 until it get fixed.
It’s by design, so the user can have more control over the exact transient vertical span, instead of letting SL guess areas. It works much more similarly to the frequency selection tool now, with the transient selection tool snapping to the closest transient, and then the user can precisely move up and down to select the transient range he wants.
But now how can I separate the “noisy” transients that I want to move away without delete the sustaining “notes” of the piano in this example?
It was briliant as it was before, and it was guessing right the most of the times.
Now I cannot understand how I will remove the unwanted noisy transients, as it selects all the area vertically without separating the good stuff.
Can you explain if there is a way to do that as before?
Actually now, it doesn’t “snap” anywhere.
I don’t really understand the new functionality of the transient select either, it seems to just select everything now and has no threshold, it’s like its just 0 threshold now? I’m sure I just don’t understand how to use it yet.
exactly this
It’s this part you describe @Robin_Lobel I think neither of us can get to work?
“with the transient selection tool snapping to the closest transient”
There appears to be no snapping to transients. In fact if select where there are transients and cut to a new layer, it’s exactly the same as a normal selection cut.
The v11 manual suggests there is a tolerance and maximum height setting, but I can only see Thickness as an available selection. It does snap to transients, but it selects the entire frequency band so simply a normal selection without any tolerance possible to add?
@Robin_Lobel you must take a look on that.
The Transient Selection Tool is unusable as it behaves now.
For me it was the no1 tool for removing unwanted transients without deleting the useful stuff (notes) on the selected audio.
At least add as an option the previous behavior.
It is a show stopper for me now and it’s a shame to stop using Spectralayers after all these years buying this amazing software. If this doesnt change I’m forced to stick on version 10 and ask for a refund…
Please make something to everyone stay happy.

Sure I hear you all ! Will improve that with the next patch so that you can get what seems to be important functionalities back.
