Hit’n’Mix reveals the next evolutionary stage of its multiple award-winning RipX software. Now matured into a fully-fledged DAW available as standard and Pro versions, RipX DAW is the first of its kind to provide a truly holistic approach to cutting-edge AI music production processes. From AI generated music access and refinement, to stem separation, to instrument replacement, this update also includes over 100 workflow enhancements.

Riley Knapp, platinum selling songwriter explains “The output of most AI Music Generators is robotic, chaotic and usually unlistenable. This is due to the fact AI 'samples' contain elements that are out of key, out of time and don't follow any musical structure. With RipX DAW, I am able to separate each sound within a generation, re-pitch and fine tune any elements, create a musical structure out of it and replace any subpar sounds with high quality sounds. RipX DAW's unique 'Edit-in-Mix' workflow makes it possible to humanize AI Music.”

The first and only DAW to treat audio and MIDI ‘as one’, RipX DAW replaces existing RipX DeepRemix, DeepCreate and DeepAudio modules with a streamlined offering of one standard and one Pro version. Built around the revolutionary Rip Audio format, it makes child’s play of in-the-mix editing in ways that are not possible with waveform and MIDI based software. RipX DAW is tailor-made for every kind of music and audio creative, with special emphasis on the new generation of AI-inspired content creators.

Martin DAW, Hit’n’Mix CEO and the creator of RipX DAW comments:

“The excitement, fun and creativity that RipX users express to us each day has incentivised our team into creating something truly unique, powerful and accessible. We listened, and to enable even more creative time within the RipX environment, we seamlessly added tailored recording tools, workflow improvements and effects. As we carefully worked-in these enhancements, it became clear that we were on a direct course to the creation of a DAW in its own right. Not just any DAW, but one built from the ground up with ease-of-use and unprecedented control over music and audio at its very heart. Moreover, AI music generation has become big news over the past few months, and the Rip Audio format is ultimately placed to make this technology truly useful, and importantly ensure that human creativity is not lost, with peerless in-the-mix editing and audio extraction. Now you can create music from start to finish and even transform AI’s musical imaginings into your own, all within RipX DAW and RipX DAW PRO.“

• RipX DAW includes the world’s leading audio separation and in-the-mix note & chord editor technology. It’s possible to break down and customize output from AI Music Generators with integrated access to a leading service. Additionally, record using a MIDI/MPE/laptop keyboard, or microphone/audio input, laying down sounds extracted from existing audio, or the built-in library. A wide range of single-click automated effects are included, allowing for plenty of experimentation.
• RipX DAW PRO includes all of the features and functionality of the RipX DAW, then adds advanced stem and AI Music Generator clean-up, Audioshop sound manipulation tools, and pro DAW features to the workflow. Tweak sounds at the harmonic level, draw in guitar slides and vocal embellishments, and edit noise and unpitched sound without affecting the melody. Python scripting is included for complete programmatic control over audio.

RipX DAW & RipX DAW PRO are the only DAWs on the market that offer:

• Further separation of stems/instruments into fully editable notes, chords and unpitched sounds.
• The ability to customize, clean-up, transform and rearrange ideas directly from AI Music Generators.
• Sound blending and substitution - blend and replace instruments and sounds with different instruments and sounds to adapt and be creative with performances.

• Advanced remixing capabilities even within ‘fixed’ stereo audio files.
• Note and chord recognition to help musicians learn parts to songs.
• A user-friendly, note-based interface - for transparent pitch/time-based editing and effects, with instant visual feedback.

• The ability to apply/randomize scales and keys of newly separated stems, all in one app.
