Wonderful, thanks so much, for showing this! I got here from the Cubase Forum. I have an audio with vocal fry (that might not be right term, think very very tired voice trying to sing at volume, and therefore sounding raspy in a bad way). I've found that noise is usually in the high harmonics, and I've been trial and erroring automating a LPF to get rid of it when it is the most annoying. Looking forward to this trick to compare ease and results. That "Invert Selection Frequencies" is amazing. Great code writing, Steinberg!
Thanks. So how would you also get rid of or ameliorate the raspy sound in his voice (when he sings "Ger...")? I think what you focused on is the breathy part of "...tude". I presume it's the same process. But difficult to know which bits to excise. Also, how could one do it across the board for a couple of hours of audio across an entire audiobook? To do it manually for every single incidence of raspiness (which in the audio recording I have is intermittent but frequent, almost every second or so...) would take forever!
Yeah my main concern was the breathy part, didn't mind the raspy section. The process would be the same in my experience using this method. Changing the composite colour selection to something else like "Turbo" might make it easier to view where the noise energy resides. Most of the noises tend to happen under 1kHz (but not always!). Currently, SpectraLayers doesn't have a macro system yet where you can combine operations. So while using key commands for every step definitely makes this process much faster, it will be a bit tedious for long audio recordings. I haven't yet found an alternative program to achieve this particular ask automatically.

Excellent! Thanks for making this video!😉👍
@@hjd9157 Glad it was helpful!
POWERFUL! Thanks for the introduction and tutorial.

Another great video. Thank you! : ) Kind regards, Darren (Wales, UK)
