How do you feel about AI generated music? Try the FREE 21 day trial at hitnmix.com

[@Si5ive]

Absolutely incredible! Thanks for clear and concise video. I really enjoy your tutorials. This software is so exciting! I had no idea something like this existed.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thank you. Yes it’s quite special. You can try it for free for 21 days with the link in the description.

[@Si5ive]

@@LanewoodStudiosI just got to the end and you mention Cubase integration. Do you think you’ll make a video about that? Maybe a short?

[@LanewoodStudios]

@@Si5ive yeah it’s a nice idea that I’ll keep in mind. Many videos in the planning at the moment 😉.

[@BjoernLewin]

awesome tutorial! Thanks!

[@LanewoodStudios]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@butterflyj685]

This is the best Ripx video I've seen!

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thank you!

[@KevinJacksKC]

Awesome video! Hats off. I think it would be cool if the program asks us how we want the rip to sound after it computes. This gives us all of our intent a one-stop solution.

[@LanewoodStudios]

More AI required for that ;)

[@Bashanvibe]

I’m buying this!!! I have a lot of songs that I need just the perc loop for my party band!!! And to separate the stems when doing solo piano gigs!!!

[@LanewoodStudios]

Give it a try 👍

[@dahlhousestudios]

This is a great idea! I've tried Suno's AI service and it gets weird quickly. I contacted Suno to ask if they had a stems feature when you sign up-they don't, so I didn't. Using RipX would give that essential ability to make my own stems! I've just gotten RipX and will do a review soon. Thanks for another great vid!

[@LanewoodStudios]

See how it works for you 👍.

[@dahlhousestudios]

@@LanewoodStudios So far, I find RipX nearly flawless on vocals and bass. Very good at getting the drums into the kick/drum/perc zones, as well as most guitars separating from synths/strings etc. But that interface… wow. So alien… Feels like a stretch to call it a DAW. It's more of an app like SpectraLayers. But, it does some really cool stuff, so I'll keep at it. Thanks!

[@LanewoodStudios]

@@dahlhousestudios yes it takes some getting used to!

[@Clapstain]

Try Udio, in my limited amount of messing with them both, udio seems a lot better

[@dahlhousestudios]

@@Clapstain OK. Looking at it now!

[@joshuasydnee]

Hi great video can you isolate more than one guitar if two guitars in the mix?

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thanks! I don’t think that is currently possible with any software I know. All guitars are put together.

[@michaelbonanno7476]

Sounds great! Now there’s a lot of reverb on those vocals. Can you “dry” them up and put another type of reverb on that vocal? Thanks!

[@LanewoodStudios]

The reverb is from RipX so yes you can change it in RipX DAW.

[@AsramaSPvD]

Remarkable

[@LanewoodStudios]

Yes!

[@diskomiks]

can you link the video where you fix stems that you got from ripx? you mention previusly recording a video about it but i can seem to find it, thanks.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Maybe this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHPWZqKprZWVsJY

[@ronvanderlans6421]

Hello Lanewood I also use RipX DAW, if you ever have time to make a MIDI tutorial from Audio to Midi, so I can import them into cubase 13 Pro But I can't get it to make a nice midi file of it, now you can also choose from 2 options ...I am keeping an eye on your nice channel.... Kind regards, Ron

[@LanewoodStudios]

Hi Ron, I haven't exactly tried that very extensively yet but I but I'm sure it with how clear the parts are detected. E.g. is the audio of the separated layers clear and distinct. If so it should be able to generate midi from that.

[@alonomusic]

Hello, Is the first song in the video also AI genertared? and in what platform was it made? thank you!

[@LanewoodStudios]

No it’s from streambeats, a platform that offers copyright free music for content creators. Check out this video for a great platform with AI generated songs though: Kickstart Your Music Production with Suno AI: From Idea to Song in Minutes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHPckIJnjpmahZo

[@alonomusic]

Thank you man❤

[@LanewoodStudios]

@@alonomusic 👍

[@OlaFristedt]

Awesome! So this was the regular RipX right. Not the Pro version. Would be great to see if you can get even better sound out of the Pro version or the regular one is enough for most beginner/intermediate users. Also, you said that you cant play with your VSTs directly? Can you elaborate a bit? So I wont be able to use my VSTs as on other DAWs?

[@LanewoodStudios]

It was the pro version but I did not use the pro features in the video. You cannot use VSTis directly but you can import the sounds of a VSTi and then use those sounds like any of the other sounds in there.

[@joelsanez1515]

When it comes to stem separation, Is it better than Moises?

[@LanewoodStudios]

I haven't tried that one myself.

[@parabot2]

A Friend said i should tell you do do something like Dom used to do Cubase 60sec basic tips videos . Might be with a try , will no doubt drive lots of traffic to your channel .

[@LanewoodStudios]

Thanks for the tip. I do do shorts but they are mostly outtakes of the long videos.

[@elvishell]

I'm not a pro at this, but in my experience the separation is far from perfect. You are left with a crazy amount of artifacts intermixed throughout all the tracks. If you delete them in order to clean up a track, you are risking degrading the stem that it truly belongs to. You can reassign the artifacts to the correct stem but it is very tedious. It is also sometimes very difficult to correctly identify which instrument the artifact belongs to.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Oh it’s absolutely not perfect yet and you cannot really use these stems in separation. For subtle rebalancing or some additional processing on a stem it seems to work pretty well though.

[@KevinJacksKC]

@@LanewoodStudiosyes sir! I can Imagine your reply with a follow-up that encourages Elvis that “they are working on this and it’s probably coming soon”.

[@CloudiVist]

As much as the music industry seeks to maximize return by releasing multiple versions of the same album, I'm surprised it hasn't realized there is an untapped source of revenue in re-releasing the original recordings of classic albums as stem collections. It may not appeal to the casual music listener, but I expect there are enough musicians and committed music fans to make it worthwhile. A new way to listen to classic albums. The praise and worship segment of the music industry is wise to this already, but that kind of music is very much not my jam, as they say.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Interesting idea, what do you think these stems would be used for? Would people just buy the stems to listen to them individually or make remixes you mean?

[@CloudiVist]

@@LanewoodStudios Well, with access to the stems the listener could choose to listen whichever way he or she wanted in a mixer app as simple as Audacity. To solo individual tracks or remix so an instrument of particular interest would be dominant. Could also be a cloud-based mixer with subscription service to the record company's catalog, to the artist or to whomever owns the rights to those particular recordings. Recordings are already released multiple times in various editions with a live track, or so, added. Now, artists are even releasing new albums in multiple versions on day one. To me, stem-based or listener-remixable album versions seems like a no-brainer way to an additional revenue stream. Perhaps adding vocal narrative tracks from the recording or mixing or mastering engineer explaining why certain creative or technical choices were made. Maybe a vocal narrative track from the artist about the song itself. That would add value, I think.

[@LanewoodStudios]

@@CloudiVist ah thanks for your suggestions. And yes as a music producer I would be very interested in a setup like that, and maybe even the die hard music fans of an artist would be. But I'm not sure that it would bring them (the rights owners/record companies) that much extra revenue compared to the effort and risk of releasing tracks like that. But we'll see if it happens at some point.

FRIEND HOW TO INSTALL THE PROGRAM AND SEPARATE THE CORS

[@LanewoodStudios]

As far as I remember you just run the installer to install.And I demonstrate separating stems in the video.

[@realreklo]

Wait so you mean I can’t use my VST’s so why get this then?

[@LanewoodStudios]

It's another way to edit audio and come up with parts.

[@taitimoproductions4801]

RipX is great for Stem separation and not good as a DAW work flow. It' would take a lot of time for anything musical.

[@LanewoodStudios]

Sure it’s a different approach.

[@AyoWaveGod]

I downloaded it, tried to use it and it kept crashing I deleted it expeditiously thank god I didn’t purchase it

[@LanewoodStudios]

Always good to try before you buy. It didn’t do that on my PC by the way, but maybe there’s an updated version now.

[@BennyJ504]

That's why I clicked the video to see of it crashed for others.

[@user-vd3if4wq6m]

I dont respect users of AI generated anything as 'Theres" ...This is Art, not selling Cars

[@AudioRohnRx]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@LanewoodStudios]

Its a fine line between using AI like this and editing as needed and building a beat from loops and samples?

[@Liminal-Mystic]

😂

[@Polydarian]

But it sounds like shit!

[@LanewoodStudios]

Checkout Suno AI or Udio which was recently released. They really upped the game and then you can still improve onnut with RipX DAW.
