Spectral Layers Pro Tutorial

[Larry Shelby]

This is quite useful and interesting if you use Spectral Layers Pro, or have considered it
as an editing option...

I just got the SpectraLayers One that is bundled with Cubase 11.  Alas it doesn't look to me like there is an upgrade path - just have to pay the new user cost (albeit 40% off for a few more days).

You can do a similar process using the "Music Rebalance" module in iZotope RX 8 Standard or Advanced.

Music Rebalance leverages a machine learning algorithm trained to identify and separate the following elements in a mix: Vocals, Bass, and Percussion. Any content that is not otherwise identified as Vocals, Bass or Percussion will be categorized as Other. This typically includes all the melodic instruments. The level of each mix element can be independently adjusted after separation.

Music Rebalance can be useful for adjusting the level of a particular mix element when the original tracks or stems are not available as an alternative solution. In some cases, it can also be used to isolate a single mix element (e.g. the lead vocal) by reducing the level of the other three mix elements.

Separate automatically splits your selected audio into four distinct stems (Vocals, Bass, Percussion, Other), delivering each stem to its own tab. This process ignores the Gain settings for individual stems and always assumes 0 dB of gain. Once the stems are separated, you can process and export each stem as an independent audio file.
