We are happy to announce the immediate availability of the first maintenance update for Spectralayers Pro and Elements 7.
This update solves many compatibility issues with some VST 3 plug-ins as well as improving the stability of the application both as standalone and in ARA mode.
We recommend all SpectraLayers 7 users to install this update as soon as possible.

I think he should also know, there is a problem (or some). That´s why i replied to his Post.
By the way, when i post this Thread in the Cubase-forum, then i´m told that it´s a Spectralayers-topic, not a Cubase-Topic
Update seems stable. I’m not thrilled about the offline VST3 processing, but at least SL Elements supports VST3. Izotope RX doesn’t support it at all.
Addendum: 27 Sep. Don’t know why, but SL Elements 7 consumes a lot more RAM than programs of mine performing similar functions, e.g., Reaper with declicker and NR plug-ins. SLE also struggles with really large files, even at 24/48 – a lot of lag in rendering, starting playback after the rendering is done. Oddly enough, the problems seem worse when I’m using the SLE alone than when I’m using it with Reaper. You’d think it would be the other way around.
The declicker in RX 7 beats the hell out of the SLE declicker, but the SLE denoiser is VERY nice, and extremely easy to use. I find the spectral repair tool in Reaper a bit easier to use than SLE eraser tool. I think I just can’t maneuver the eraser tool precisely enough to take full advantage of it.
