In their own words
Selekt Audio Restoration
Selekt Audio Restoration is a browser-based tool for cleaning vocal recordings and older recordings or transfers. Modern voice mode targets steady room noise in isolated vocals, voiceovers and podcasts; vintage mode addresses hiss, hum, crackle, clicks and surface noise. Users can optionally master the cleaned track at no charge and compare or download the original, restored and mastered versions. The tool accepts MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A and OGG files up to 250 MB. Modern voice mode treats non-voice audio as noise, so a full mix may require separating the vocal stem first. Users can also choose stems to split restored audio. Uploads are processed privately and are not added to the catalog. Results appear in My Library → Studio Results and remain available to stream or download for 48 hours. The restoration workflow is part of Selekt’s connected audio workspace, where results can move to tools such as Stem Lab and Drum Kit. A free plan is available; paid access starts at $5 per month, with an annual option at $50 per year.
SpectraLayers Pro
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.
