What RipX DAW is
RipX DAW is a desktop application for separating mixed audio into editable layers and changing sound at note level. Its AI stem separation identifies vocals, bass, drums, guitars, instruments, and percussion; users can then edit the resulting parts note by note. Available controls include tempo, pitch, key or scale, time-stretch, stereo panning, volume, EQ, and effects. Built-in live effects include Reverse, Delay, Vibrato, Harmony, Formant Shift, and low- and high-pass filters. Users can print audio to MIDI for loading a part into a VST or synthesizer, and export WAV, MP3, AIFF, and MIDI.
The product runs on macOS and Windows. The maker lists a 21-day trial of RipX DAW PRO with full access and no credit card required. The standard RipX DAW plan includes AI stem separation, note-level audio editing, and MIDI and audio export. RipX DAW PRO adds advanced harmonic editing, audio repair and cleanup, RipScripts, and RipLink plug-in integration. RipLink requirements depend on the host software and operating system. The maker is RipX DAW, based in Folkestone, Kent, United Kingdom, and was founded in 2009. A license can be installed on up to two computers belonging to its registered owner.
