Neiro vs SpectraLayers Pro

Neiro is a local audio worksuite for separating sources, restoring recordings, transcribing audio and editing waveforms. Processing takes place on the user's machine and audio does not leave it. Neiro offers a Tauri desktop app and a browser interface launched with `neiro ui`; desktop installers are listed for Windows, macOS and Linux. Separation covers vocals, instrumentals, harmonic and percussive parts, four- or six-stem mixes and drum kits, with a null-test residual for each result. Restoration tools include declipping, hum removal, denoising, dereverberation, bandwidth extension and reference mastering. Transcription can export MIDI, MusicXML, ASCII tablature and LRC lyrics. Studio provides non-destructive waveform edits, while Learn includes loop regions, count-in, metronome, step mode, WebMIDI and DAW wait mode. VST2 and CLAP injectors can capture audio from a DAW into Neiro. Core DSP works without model downloads, but optional neural backends download weights on first use. The Python package requires Python 3.10–3.12; compressed or video inputs also require ffmpeg on PATH.

SpectraLayers Pro is a spectral audio editor that presents sound as visual objects for editing, repair, restoration, and sound design. Pro 13 adds Unmix Sound Effects to separate short sounds from continuous backgrounds such as wind, crowds, traffic, and nature. Ambience Heal fills gaps using ambience from the source layer, while Reconstruct resynthesizes selected spectral data. Voice DeClick removes mouth noises, and Voice DeCrosstalk isolates unwanted voices from a target voice. The software supports batch processing and can run standalone or as an external editor. Listed integrations include Ableton Live, Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro, Reaper, DaVinci Resolve, FL Studio, ACID Pro, Vegas Pro, KONTAKT, REAKTOR, HALion, and Tracktion Waveform; edited audio can be returned to the calling app. Pro 13 supports specified recent macOS releases on Intel and Apple silicon, and Windows 10 or 11 64-bit from version 21H2; Windows 11 on Arm requires 24H2 or later. A free trial is available, but no free plan or price is listed.
