Imprint

ProcessImprint…​ (SpectraLayers Pro only)

Imprint a layer onto another.

The imprinting uses the spectral amplitudes of a layer (the bright spots you see in the spectrogram, see Waveform and Spectral Display Area), and use them to carve or mold the spectral amplitudes of the active layer.

This can be used for instance when you have two layers with overlapping frequencies : casting the frequencies of one layer onto the over will reduce the overlap, making the mix sounds cleaner.

It also has applications in sound design, to create canvas of frequencies between two layers.

  • Operation: Choose to cast or mold the active layer with another layer.
  • Source: Source layer to use to cast or mold the active layer.
  • Horizontal Margin: Horizontal margin in pixels around each amplitude peak.
  • Vertical Margin: Vertical margin in pixels around each amplitude peak.
  • Strength: Ratio of imprinting, in percents.
