o
When Single Instrument / SFX is selected, options are made available that allow the type
of instrument/special effect (SFX), to be specified. This helps RipX to optimize the Rip file
it produces for that specific instrument/SFX and lets it know that it should put all notes in
the same layer for that instrument/SFX. A time range can also be chosen. Leave this blank
to open the entire track.
o
If you are opening a full mix containing multiple instruments and other sounds, select
Multiple Instruments & Sounds. The options that are available when this option is
selected are described below.
•
DeepRemix or DeepAudio with Multiple Instruments & Sounds selected:
o
Select the type of recording that is being opened.
o
Choose which instrument(s) you would like to extract from the audio. The available options
are Voice, Bass, Other Sounds & Instruments, and Drums & Percussion.
▪
When it creates the Rip file, RipX will assign notes/unpitched sounds performed by the
various instruments to appropriate color-coded Layers which are listed in the Layers
Panel at the bottom-right of the RipX Window.
▪
If you only need to create stems from the audio (e.g., for your DAW or for DJing
purposes), check Save Stems Only. No Rip file is created. Instead, WAV stems are
placed inside RipX/Stems (or a location set in RipX/File>Preferences…) within your
user account’s Documents folder.
•
To generate one vocal.wav stem plus one containing all other audio (called
instruments.wav), choose Voice only.
•
For other file formats, uncheck Save Stems Only and use File>Export once the
file has been ripped.

If
you
have
an
NVIDIA
graphics
card
with
at
least
8GB
(10GB
recommended) graphics memory and CUDA support, plus at least 16GB RAM installed,
RipX can use its power to rip significantly faster.
•
You
will
need
to
have
the
NVIDIA
CUDA
Toolkit
v11.0
(free
download)
installed. If your system meets these minimum requirements to use CUDA,
RipX will show a message about where to download the toolkit if it is not
already installed. Note that it needs to be exactly v11.0.
•
Once installed, RipX will use your graphics card automatically – you will notice
reduced time estimates shown in the ripper options dialog. It is recommended
that you use the Highest setting.
