Editing and Updating the Sample
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.
Depending on the length of the sample, you may wish to do further work within the DAW or other rips
within RipX whilst it takes apart the audio.
Once ripped, edit as you would normally.
