DeepAudio: Using RipX with DAWs
Most leading DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) can open audio clips for editing with RipX: DeepAudio. Plug-
ins are installed with RipX so that it can be used with Pro Tools and DAWs that support VST3/ARA2. For other
DAWs, such as Logic Pro X and Ableton Live, it is possible to work with RipX by setting it as its external sample
editor.
Pro Tools AudioSuite
For Pro Tools, the RipLink AudioSuite plug-in is automatically installed with RipX: DeepAudio.
Note: Pro Tools version 12.2 (Windows) / 12.8.2 (macOS) or later is required.
1)
In Pro Tools, select audio in a single track and choose AudioSuite>Other>Edit In RipX.
2)
Click RipX in the window that opens.
3)
RipX will bring up the usual options for ripping the audio and then start processing.
If the clip has been previously ripped and is in the RipList, RipX will first ask whether you’d like to open
that instead.
4)
Once ripped, edit as you would normally.
5)
When you have finished, click File>Update in Pro Tools (
zX
S / Ctrl+Alt+S).
Important: if you experience no audio playback within RipX whilst Pro Tools is running, try the following:
•
If Pro Tools is using ASIO4ALL as the playback engine, try changing it to another in Setup>Playback
Engine…
•
Alternatively, close Pro Tools and select an alternative playback device not used by Pro Tools from
RipX>Preferences… (macOS) or File>Preferences… (Windows). Then restart Pro Tools and try again.
•
If no other devices are available, try installing and selecting ASIO4ALL, available to download from
http://www.asio4all.org/
. ASIO4ALL is a widely used ASIO driver but as it is a third-party product,
Hit’n’Mix Ltd takes no responsibility for its usage.
VST3/ARA2
Installed with RipX: DeepAudio is the RipLink plug-in for VST3/ARA2. DAWs that support this include:
Studio One (v 4 or later)
Cakewalk (v 2019.05 or later)
REAPER (v 5.97 or later)
Cubase Pro/Nuendo (v 11.0.30 or later)
Studio One
1)
Split the sections of each track that you would like to edit in RipX from the rest of the track by using
the Split Tool.
2)
Switch to the Arrow Tool and click on one of the sections to select it.
3)
Open the Inspector (if it is not already open) and, next to Event FX, click Enable.
4)
In the Inserts panel that appears below, click on the + button.
5)
In the search box, start to type RipLink and click on it when it appears in the search results below.
