I would agree that additional spectral editing tools would be very helpful.

In using other programs, I have often wondered about how difficult it would be to implement a separate/different right click context menu for the waveform and spectral views which contained elements specific to those views.

I find myself using spectral editing most commonly for four functions:

1. Click removal.  Generally, the clicks I "erase", "brush", or "magic wand" are brief but usually higher on the frequency spectrum.  Sometimes dragging the mouse to cover them is rather inexact based on hand movement with the mouse.
2. Plosive reduction or removal.  Generally, these are more low frequency in content, and require "brushing" very close to the bottom of the spectral view.
3. Sibilance taming.  Often, after a light de-essing pass with a plugin, there are still a couple of stray esses that need slightly more reduction, and simply brushing them and reducing a few db does the trick.
4. Whistle removal.  Some performers have this problem where they whistle a bit.  These whistles are in a slightly different frequency area than sibilance, and often have more horizontal breadth that simple sibilants.

Thank you again for Soundop. 

Some spectral tools look at the unaffected area immediately surrounding the problem area and seem to import that spectral character to cover the problem when the tool is applied.  Then there are the times when it is necessary to either mute the highlighted/selected area, or reduce the volume by a certain db value.

I do use a selectable size "brush" tool most commonly because it gives the most control over how/where it is applied.

Hi,

Thanks.

And your professional remarks are very beneficial to us. We will add the spectral tools to our priority list.

Best regards.
