Spectral editors - which one do you recommend?

I’ve been doing some remix work recently for some producer mates, and have felt the potential need to repair some stems. Removing unwanted artefacts etc.

So, I’ve been considering the various Spectral editors. Got the lite versions of Spectralayers and Melodyne. Also aware if the Ozone solution.

Thoughts anyone? Ta!

For repair/correction work Izotope RX is phenomenal for me. I have 10 advanced and it felt like a significant update to RX8 that I had before (even though that was really capable).

RX was able to repair some older stuff that i never thought repairable.

Reaper is $0 and has a spectral editor, “its fine”

RX looks real nice but I wouldn’t use it enough to justify

I have been using/learning Spectralayers Pro 10. It’s pretty amazing. I get a license with my Sound Forge Pro Suite license.

really love reapers spectral editing. also loved this thing called Spectro by schwa (which I think basically became the spectral editing functionality for reaper.

yeah i used RX for declicking once, but never its spectral editing stuff.

It seems like reaper can do a lot of what i want which is just misc cleanup, seems pretty flexible.

I like Spectralayers. There’s currently a promo going on so you can get it for a good price. Also, once you have Spectralayers, upgrades for new versions are reasonably priced, as compared to RX which has bonkers high upgrade pricing (so much so that I don’t know if I’ll ever upgrade my RX 9 Advanced license).
