In a few days I'm opening the first closed beta of Spectral Engine and I'm looking for macOS testers.
Short version of what it does:
masking in a dense mix is a whole-project problem, but a plugin on one track only sees that track. Spectral Engine runs as one instance per track — the instances share a picture of the session and carve dynamically, only where instruments actually collide. No sidechain routing, no pair-by-pair matching. Psychoacoustic (Bark) arbitration, minimum-phase carving, role-based priority. Built for orchestral / choral / acoustic / dense material.
This beta: macOS, AU + VST3, Apple Silicon & Intel. (Windows/AAX come later.)
Free during the beta, every tester will get a free full version when its ready for release. I'm after a spread of DAWs — Logic, Pro Tools, Reaper, Studio One, Live, Bitwig — and people who work on real, dense sessions.
What I most need verified: that the cross-track link holds across different hosts (especially Logic's AU sandbox), plus stability/CPU with many instances and how it sounds on your material.
Want in?
Sign up here → spectralengineaudio.com (takes 20 seconds — just your DAW and setup).
I'll email selected testers a download + a short guide in a few days. Happy to answer anything in the thread.
