How many of you folks use Stillwell's Spectro, and what's you opinion of it?

I looked on the Stillwell website at the Spectro plugin and it appears to be really nice how you can hone in/edit specific frequencies with super precision. I was wondering who uses it and can you share your thoughts, experiences using it? Is it worth purchasing?

I find it useful for removing unwanted sounds, I purchased it years ago. You know that you can download an evaluation version for free, don't you?

I have used it is the past, and would again should I need to.

I've had Spectro for quite a while and use it when needed.

Thanks, I will download it.

Does it do the same thing as izotope's RX Spectral repair?

It does similar. The selection tool is a little more primitive. You have to manually select everything, resizable rectangle is the only shape available and the resolution is fixed. As a spectral editing tool that you can use in-line though it's great.

Hopefully it will get an update that adds a few of these little things but no big deal if it doesn't. It's plenty useful as it is.

Thanks, I definitely will purchase this.

Yes its not as detailed as RX but its definitely useful for removing or reducing unwanted artifacts like guitar string squeaks.

I posted a while back that a good cheap alternative to Izotope RX was Acon restoration + Spectro

i was thinking about purchasing but read somewhere that it needs to reload or rebuild graphic info on each opening of the window. i use a lot of very large files and was worried about wasting a lot of time in this process. anybody have any observations or input on these concerns?

thanks,
