SpectreLayer

– & introducing “TATTLER” – for forensic audio recovery!

If you’re a commercial producer with existing professional relationships with copyright-holders: Read!

Spectrelayer is here. The service has nearly a decade of development & as much lead time. You know that over 70% of music sales are currently what is called “Older Genres”. Because those artists from the 70’s & 80’s are also the favorites of the post-“Boomer” generation, a unique sales window is still open. You see, the only thing better than selling a record once is to sell it twice. And the people who might buy it the 2nd time are those who purchased the original release. There is only (1) reason that somebody would do that: An audibly superior re-release of their favorite material. When companies began to sell digital re-releases of previously analog material – they realized this simple truth, too. Thus, digital formats replaced tape & vinyl with a roar at the cash-register. Now, there’s Spectrelayer!

NOT a music-mill! Obviously … the best mastering still requires a human tech with excellent ears! Then – we use superior, proprietary tools to make the sound stunning!

Spectrelayer Offers Your Label an Easy $trategy:

  • Try the free Spectrelayer offer; -& then trust your ears. Let some colleagues listen critically to the Spectrelayer’d content. Trust their ears, too.
  • Locate a classic, popular recording you have accessible rights to – & task Spectrelayer to post-master your current best existing release of it or select tracks. This is as simple as sending a series of existing stereo tracks to Spectrelayer in lossless format for post-processing!
  • Listen critically to each of the tracks post-processed by Spectrelayer. Your payment constitutes acceptance as-is for each track. Address issues before payment! You never pay in advance for a processed track (although outstanding amounts due may be called for settlement prior to continued service). Seem fair enough? Simply, No risk!
  • Compile the “New & Improved Release” using the Spectrelayer post-mastered tracks. I strongly suggest a Compact Disc release version regardless of other formats.
  • Market the improved audio with the same zeal that was used to transition from analog versions to digital decades ago.  Let people talk it up. Spectrelayer sounds audibly superior. Major advances in audio quality require boisterous marketing measures!
  • Sell the Spectrelayer editions at a premium price & be sure to give the customer the benefit of every perk & special that you (& the artist) can possibly include! Marketing, marketing, marketing!
  • Lastly, these steps are all to streamline costs & generate revenue. Strongly suggested: NEVER OFFER TO STREAM LOSSLESS SPECTRELAYER’D CONTENT THRU ANY SERVICE. Why? Spectrelayer already sounds better than competing releases – even in lossy formats such as AAC, Opus or MP3, etc. Streaming in lossy saves a fortune on bandwidth costs – especially VBR codecs. Keep Spectrelayer’d LOSSLESS as a marketing option to sell on lossless media such as CD’s.
  • If you manufacture or contract audio playback hardware, -selling “Spectrelayer ready” personal stereo devices is a very real option & will also drive marketing on the music side.
  • How? Spectrelayer’d content is roughly 12-17dB less loud than conventional releases. This means that devices capable of higher power output are necessary to play back Spectrelayer’d content with the transients intact at regular loudness levels. Ask your engineering dept why this is so if it’s unclear to you. The bottom line is this: Spectrelayer is a real improvement in audio. It’s not a gimmick. Again: Trust your ears. As a departure from so-called “conventional wisdom”, Spectrelayer is a technology birthed from the philosophy to “Make Fidelity, ‘High’ again”.
  • Consulting services are available if you would like your engineering staff to have the benefit of this insight to help design Spectrelayer-optimized audio!
As the process developer, a polymath & autodidact; -I wish that Spectrelayer was a simple black box that I could pour a recording in on one side & have it emerge processed on the other with everything perfectly ready for return-submission; – And all without a shred of experience needed. But in the world of quality art – that’s not how things work. Spectrelayer still requires a human with ears & expertise to review the content & establish parameters. And as anyone who works with AI will tell you: There are contingencies that must occasionally be addressed.   As a result – turn around takes time. Spectrelayer is not a music mill. The service is a fine art conducted by the skilled & competent. He who hesitates waits in line. Oh, and beware of the buzz around the term “AI”. AI can be a powerful tool but the alleged benefits are often overblown. Spectrelayer makes a very limited use of it – that can change over time as the nature of tech changes. No two AI’s are the same. Some are bad!

Years ago there was a product company that claimed that they didn’t make any of the things you enjoyed … Instead – they claimed to “make them BETTER“.  Spectrelayer has a similar theme. And, the better the original master – the more finesse Spectrelayer will be able to use to improve the psycho-dynamics of the audio. The process makes the “X” in “THX” stand for “X-citement”! Spectrelayer is the process that makes listening to music recordings like hearing them anew! “It was like listening to the recording again for the 1st time.” – Rob Hand / Pro Musician & Technical Consultant

Since the best proof is sure proof: As a 1-time free offer: Professionals may E-mail a LOSSLESS test stereo audio file (one you have copyright/s to) up to 25MB in size (formatted as WAV, FLAC, or APE) & it will be processed with Spectrelayer ASAP & the result sent back to you as an AAC file attachment. At that point – you’ll have the original source and the Spectrelayer’d result to compare for yourself. It’s the ONLY way to be absolutely convinced with proof positive! And: Be sure to adjust the average playback loudness using a standardized loudness metering device in order to avoid the loudness-war perceptual trap. After all: If you can’t believe your own ears …
