RipX DAW Pro

The First of its Kind AI DAW

In RipX DAW, audio is stored in Hit’n’Mix’s revolutionary Rip format, a giant step up from waveforms, enabling full control over all aspects of sound.

For example, you can mix your favorite parts together and have fun experimenting with different tempos, effects, pitches and keys/scales. You can time-stretch, and adjust the stereo panning (including on mono tracks), volume, and EQ.  Even create loops and edit them during playback to create new music in real-time.

Copy and paste parts from one track to another, with tempo automatically matched.

New for RipX DAW and DAW PRO v7.5:

• Over 100 enhancements, including:
  • Significantly improved ripping and music detection for smoother, more detailed separation.
  • Enhanced note splitting, instrument, drum, sibilance, and chord recognition.
  • More accurate audio to MIDI export.
  • Better-sounding instrument replacement.
  • Faster recording latency with visual pitch aids.
  • Automation lanes with draggable handles.
  • Numerous other editing and UI improvements for a more enjoyable and intuitive experience.

Martin Dawe, creator of RipX DAW PRO remarks “For the v7.5 upgrade, we’ve honed in on perfecting RipX DAW, dedicating our efforts to enhancing our core Rip Audio technology and giving it a comprehensive makeover. We’re confident this free update will not only impress our existing users but also demonstrate to new musicians, producers, DJs, and educators just how productive, enjoyable, and distinctive RipX DAW truly is.”

RipX DAW PRO For You

Music Producers

• Efficient workflow with major DAWs using the RipLink VST3/ARA2 & AudioSuite plug-in.
• Unrivalled, easy access to unintended notes, sounds and noise that you may want to remove, or reuse/boost for effect (e.g. knocks, coughs, twangs, additional strings played, breath, bleed from other vocal parts, instruments & percussion) – especially useful where frequencies are close or overlap, making them difficult to access cleanly in a spectrum-based editor.
• Edit/remove notes within polyphonic vocal, instrument & percussion recordings. The Draw Pitch functionality is especially useful when correcting/improving individual strings of a guitar. Also, adjust volume/panning of individual notes that might not have been hit consistently or, for example, to bring up only the bass notes.
• Because the separation goes down to the harmonic level, it also means the tone of individual notes in a performance can be adjusted at the finest possible detail, and even be blended with other sounds.
• The user-friendly, note-based interface makes for transparent pitch/time-based editing and effects, with instant visual feedback.
• Add notes to a performance’s melody, and create chords using real notes from the same, or other performances. Tools provided allow them to be blended in naturally.
• Natural sounding automatic pitch adjustment using Pitch To Scale, to the nearest semitone or any selected scale.
• Clone vibrato and other pitch variations between notes.
• Digitize and clean-up crackly vinyl.

DJs & Remixers

• Clean up messy/noisy acapellas
• Sample audio & dialogue that has significant noise (hum, wind, crowd etc)
• Highest quality clean up tools
• Digitize & clean up parts with vinyl crackle within vintage loops/samples

Audio Post Professionals

• Extract artifact-free dialogue from noisy footage.
• Easy access to unintended notes, sounds and background/foreground noise that you may want to remove, or reuse/boost for effect (e.g. traffic, wind, fan hums, crowds, breaths, bleed from other voiceovers) – especially useful where frequencies are close or overlap, making them difficult to access cleanly in a spectrum-based editor.
• Edit audio to video (macOS only).
• Clean-up individual harmonics with surgical precision.

Sound Designers

• Audio manipulation: Use Draw Pitch and other Audioshop Tools for interesting and original effects.
• Use Harmonic Editor to create unique sounds from parts of others.
• Use the Clone Pitch/Sound Tool to transfer audio attributes such as pitch and timbre from one sound to another.
• For Foley sound replacement, select from the Sound panel.
• Write RipScripts to programmatically adjust/generate original sounds, and even process audio using data files, such as generated by motion capture.

Apply powerful built-in live effects ranging from Reverse to Delay to Vibrato. Add Harmony to thicken out a vocal, Shift Formant to change the characteristics or apply a Low/High Pass filter for a different atmosphere.

Changing a Song's Musical Scale

To help get the right notes & chords, you can set the musical scale or key of the track – or click Detect and let RipX DAW work it out for you. Notes will snap to the pitches that are part of the scale as you change their pitch by clicking and dragging up/down.

Turn on Auto Pitch To Scale and RipX DAW automatically fits notes to the scale, whilst keeping it sounding natural.

The Randomize effect means you can set up a loop and hear sections of music played back in different scales – find the one that you like best.

RipX DAW PRO comes with all of the features of RipX DAW, and then adds advanced stem clean-up and audio manipulation tools to the workflow so you can create the highest quality extracted audio, and tweak / create sound at unprecedented levels of detail.

• Award-winning Audioshop® tools for fixing and cleaning up recordings quickly and easily
• Unpitched audio editor for cleaning up noise separately from pitched sounds
• The powerful and unique Harmonic Editor for the ultimate in sound editing
