RipX: DeepPlayer, DeepRemix & DeepAudio
RipX is a module-based audio platform. The following modules are currently available:
•
DeepPlayer – Available for free, play back audio that has already been converted into RipX’s Rip
(.rip) file format to see and hear the work of others.
o
To create and edit Rips, obtain a 1-month free trial or paid license from
hitnmix.com
and
use the code that you receive to activate one or more of the following modules from
RipX’s Help menu.
•
DeepRemix – This adds essential tools for separating audio files into vocal, instrumental, bass and
drum stems and creating songs from samples using a variety of powerful effects.
•
DeepAudio – This includes the DeepRemix module and adds advanced tools for manipulating
audio, all the way down to its deepest harmonic, amplitude and frequency levels.
In the following, chapters with headings prefixed either by DeepRemix or DeepAudio concern the module of
that name. DeepRemix chapters are essential reading for everyone but may also contain a small amount of
information about the DeepAudio module where relevant. DeepAudio chapters can be skipped by those who
do not have a DeepAudio license.
Opening, Ripping & Exporting Audio/Video
Opening & Ripping Audio
RipX can open MP3 (.mp3), FLAC (.flac), Ogg (.ogg), CD track (.cda), WAV (.wav), MIDI (.mid) and Rip (.rip)
audio files. When RipX opens an audio file, it converts it into a Rip file. It is then listed in the RipList Panel in
the top-right corner of the RipX window. A Rip is an audio file that has been source separated ‘Ripped’ into
individual notes, harmonics, frequencies, amplitudes, phases and time slices by RipX. Rip files are created in a
process called ‘Ripping’.
To open one or more audio files, click File>Open, press
X
/Ctrl+O, drag & drop them onto RipX
or click on the large folder button that is shown when no Rip is open in RipX.
MIDI and Rip files will open straight away.
For other types of audio, if the filename includes, or is, a stem name, for example drums.wav or
mysong_vocals.flac, RipX will offer to automatically rip, optimizing separation for the type of stem named.
Otherwise, a dialog box will appear offering a range of options.
