Bass drums, other drums, and percussion now editable as individual sounds. Vocal sibilants selectable and editable alongside the vocal notes.

- DeepAudio and DeepRemix modules available and tailor-made for most audio editing tasks – from professional music production, sound design, mix-fixing, noise clean-up, and dialog editing, to true audio source separation, stem creation, and song composition using most audio and video file formats (video macOS only).

Hit’n’Mix invented the revolutionary Rip audio format to store pure audio as a note and unpitched sound objects, which can edit with considerable ease and flexibility compared to traditional waveform-based formats. The new RipX platform has been developed to take advantage of the Rip format and allows for modules such as DeepAudio and DeepRemix to be seamlessly integrated into one application.
DeepAudio allows you to quickly and easily edit the core components of audio – notes harmonics, frequencies, and amplitudes. Any professional audio post-production editor, mix or mastering engineer, sound designer, music producer, remixer, student, or educator should take a look at this new tool for their toolbox.
DeepAudio uses AI isolation algorithms and a deep-ripping process to automatically deconstruct any audio file. A process that would normally require a team of studio engineers and dedicated equipment. Dive deep into your audio files and choose whether to fix, clean up or replace vocals, dialog, instruments, notes, sounds, or noise.
My Demo Session
To get to know this latest release, I did rip a track that was produced in 2020 (Video below). As you can imagine, I did have the original stems and Nuendo template. It was a good exercise to learn more about the enhanced features of RipX.
As the music track is quite long, the App estimated 11 Minutes to get the job done. Shorter tracks reduce the time spend to rip the track. If you did analyze a track before you get a prompt when loading a track, you could use the existing analyzed track.
When the file is imported and analysed you can easily change the scale of the whole song or an single instrument.
Adding chords to instruments that have not been recorded with chords. This is really useful and one of the many tools you can use to change further (sound design) and enhance your track.

RipX: DeepAudio is available now, to celebrate, Hit’n’Mix are offering 30% off until the end of May 2021! RipX: DeepAudio is a free update for existing Hit’n’Mix Infinity owners.
