RipX DAW Pro Review | The AI DAW

[@KreativeDevices]

I've had this sitting in my "waiting to install folder" for about a week now, I'll have to get on it. Thanks Robert.

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

Nice!

[@TyCutta.]

I’m gonna still use Ableton full-time, but I’m gonna have to buy this just because of the audio manipulation and certain things you can do with it and I can send it over to Ableton. This is incredible. Thank you so much for this review.

[@incudude311]

This is what I was thinking too…would love to hear your experience!

[@TyCutta.]

It works perfect bro I just go to rip if I want to get Maddie from something or if I want to get the Sims from something export them and just bring them in the Ableton bro it works seamlessly it incredible

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

Have fun!

[@lawinter1949]

I bought it at the sale price and my biggest hang up is the cpu intensity. I wish I could make full songs in this by machine is not powerful enough. It’s kinda of like if photoshop was a DAW. I plan on learning all the bins and outs though. It is an amazing piece of software.

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

Yeah, it is a resource hog for sure. But man alive the possibilities!

[@richardridings7511]

Yep, I'm in the same situation. I'm on a Powerbook 2013......But......just about to upgrade to a Mac Studio Pro (It's actually sitting in it's box behind me!).

[@roblloydmusic]

WELL OPEN THAT BAD BOY UP AND GET TO IT @lawinter1940

[@montxsuz]

Nice short review. This product is not exactly cheap, but it is on sale at the moment. But is is unclear to me (even on their website) whether to get RipX Daw or Pro. I can't see myself slowing a song down or re-mixing it. I am more interested in exporting Midi of a part. I have other Stem Separators, but none can do that.

[@6_cyanide]

It’s actually so nice I’ve just been using the trial and experimenting I might have to switch over to ripx

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

Awesome!

[@ConfusioNIntrusioN]

there's less artifacts with stem separation in fl studio 21 than ripx for some reason? i tested both on the same song

[@RoamFree1866]

Very succinct and helpful review with great insights. Thank you for sharing and God bless!

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cobusprinsloo]

This is truly amazing. One of these days composers will become obsolete.

[@irawardmusic]

Awesome review Robert !! I have used it but I didn't know about the song generation feature. I have used Suno for that and it is dangerously good.

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

Thanks man!

[@SamuelCastillo-nu2sw]

I see now that Ripx is able to separate guitar sounds now clearly. Is it also now able to isolate and separate the piano and keyboard parts as well?

[@FreeD00M]

What about copyright. Doesn't the AI get samples from protected material?

[@moabl2020]

Can you convert those to music notes too ? Thanks

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

I do believe so!

[@agentcalm]

Hi Robert. Great review. Anyone any idea how much this bag of onions costs?

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

I gave a link for a free 21 day trial in the description. They are always having sales also. As of now, it’s $99 for the base version and $198 for the Pro version. The website (also linked) has the details of the differences in the two.

[@agentcalm]

@@Homestudiosimplifed The wallet has to give this a miss my friend. My mortgage interest rate went up AGAIN. Almost living on biscuits at this stage.

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

I am sorry to hear that! Times are tough for everyone, so I totally understand.

[@shantanusapkal1849]

Hi… is it a lifetime purchase? Or anuall subscription?

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

Lifetime for the win!

[@Bashanvibe]

I’m getting the free trial tomorrow!!!

[@nope-z5y]

I saw you go into Stable Audio, but did not see any "fine print". Does this require a SA subscription to use the features that utilise Stable Audio, or does it run Stable Audio locally? If it does it locally, you have sold me on it.

FRIEND HOW TO INSTALL THE PROGRAM AND SEPARATE THE CORS

[@TheBearAndTheBull]

Is this DAW capable of being a second ear or producer for artists that are capable of recording their tracks but struggle beyond this point ? I have spent years recording tracks and trying to hone my producing skills but always been left with 100s of song incomplete due to never being able to quite get it sound close to professional track, hell it just sounds a mess if im being honest. Would be lovely to have an AI assistant within the DAW that could recommend or tweak the project where needed to attempt to create something close to what I prompt.

[@christoroppolo8742]

I absolutely agree ! And having an “assistant” instead of “Ai to create” music is the trick we are all looking for a “mix assistant “ that can make and or execute mixes of our creations ready for broadcast . I am tired of the QWERTY “shift hot key” crowd and their boatloads of very forgettable commands and songs created using them that for the most part sound stale and overproduced.it’s so annoying and destructive to creating music or film to constantly play nurse made to software who’s power is only available by holding vast amounts of cryptic instructions for a DAW in our head instead of our ideas and creativity that is being stalled by it constantly . Can you say buzz kill? And after seeing it done by the Ai enough times the user will begin to “truly trust and understand “ the process by seeing what the Ai has chosen to do for the various scenarios each time in the recording process which is the best way to learn something like that period !

[@TheBearAndTheBull]

@@christoroppolo8742 Yeah this is my dream other than going and asking a studio owner to shadow them I feel it's my only chance of learning properly.

[@christoroppolo8742]

@@TheBearAndTheBull the music mafia is a thing now . Don’t blame yourself. It’s them trying to waste our time toiling of baloney until the warranty expires !🤨👽

[@henrikpetersson3463]

Those tools have existed for years. Isotope Neutron for example. But the thing is that there are so many factors that needs to be right for a production to sound professional. Recording the tracks well is key. If you are recording your tracks well enough then the track should sound close to finished before even mixing it. Arrangement is another key factor. If your song is poorly arranged then It will be much harder to mix it. So how good are your recording and arrangement skills really? Are you recording in a treated room? Are you using the correct mic positioning? Are your instrumentation and octave placements right?

[@TheBearAndTheBull]

@@henrikpetersson3463 Hi Henrik, no I record directly into PC guitar, bass and drums using midi and ez drummer, my issue is although I'm not tone deaf, I am terrible at balancing/levelling.

[@DavidODell1977]

I like it, I'm trying to figure out how to convert my mp3 of a solo acoustic guitar instrumental to midi without it coming out as a full band. Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

It’s tricky business

[@richardridings7511]

I might have to watch this again as I'm not sure what your (great )track was illustrating. Are you saying that the AI within RipX reconfigured a previous track to regenerate this?

[@greccoox]

this is almost or for fact a combination of Ezdrummer, Ezbazz, EzKeys, Isozope, AI balancer, Flatline, Inflator... all together haha 😅

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

Hahaha good observation

[@mobthegamer5391]

This is an interesting tool, would love to get ideas from an AI and form them into full songs, kind of like using a sample and building up on it. Price to value ratio is good enough, I might get it cause why not. Thanks for the review, Rob, amazing work as always.

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

Exactly! It’s like using templates or plugin presets, only better.

[@garyroberts2615]

Is this copywrite protected, or is it too much to ask to drag any published song say to separate vocals for sampling without the intention to republish my version ?

[@serzazach1335]

Hopefully they will make a sampler sometime with proper tuning. Samples never sound too good tuned or pitched.

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

Amen!!

[@veronicabianqui]

Thanks for the review! How is the quality of the stem separation? I'm trying to remix some old songs of mine I don't have the stems for....

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

It’s pretty amazing really!

[@user-vd3if4wq6m]

There marketing is confusing. RipX / DeepRemix / DeepAudio? Which is which?? RipX Daw?

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

I know… maybe I can pass this on to them?!

[@leonbanks719]

This is pretty neat 👌. Thanks Robert

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

😎

[@patriziomameli9812]

Just Mac or also Win???

[@VickersDoorter]

yes

[@djjohnnyvicarious]

Has anyone used this to separate individual drums from a drum loops, how do they sound, usable?

[@CC-fi3pp]

It's a bit like Izotope RX, the Akai Beats one sounds the absolute worst.

[@CC-fi3pp]

@salahibozkurt yeah basically it's a load of crap that already exists but worse marketed by upper class white executives to pray on lower class African American hip hop fans, it's foolishness.

[@CC-fi3pp]

@salahibozkurt It never has and never will be useful, it's been out and done better by other companies for over a decade. It's not used for a reason. The Chinese company, which brought Akai out in the 90s are very predatory and targets a less educated black customer base, which is extremely racist. The rest of the music sees this, and they low key says nothing, which is not nice. The new mpcs have awful built quality, the pads double trigger, and the mpc keys has a constant hum, the touch screens they use are $8 on Ali Express. Yet due to marketing and peer pressure, this company falsely using the Akai brand name are praised, it's very messed up.

[@Radioteleskopes]

Excuse man but Pro Tools! 100€ subscription every year, really simplified I think. Or even Cubase 13 Pro perpetual license for 300€ aprox. I believe with all my respect sir, those tools never ley you down in compare with Cake walk. I do not understand too how this company didnt offer you a good paid Job in the company after all the hard work, sacrifice, passion you done for this “amazing program”. I hope you can find ways to continue developing your talent as a musician and best wishes is life for you. Take care

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@Radioteleskopes]

@ My pleasure, but thank you to your dedication, sacrifice and love of passion about music!

[@Doppel5129]

I would like to say one thing to the people who complain about AI. AI is here and it can't be undone now you can either complain about it stealing your thunder all the time, which it won't do, or you can do the only right thing and use AI to improve your workflow and your work because that's what it's about, not AI stealing your job

[@lukather1]

Does it convert to midi ?

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

Sure does!

[@KennyLauderdale]

I wanna see it used in hip hop

[@petesmith6434]

The heart and soul which humans impart into their music creation is what allows music to illicit emotions that move humans and impact the human spirit. AI will never be able to impart heart and soul in the music creation process. So, while I have no doubt that AI generated music can and will be produced, I believe this is the beginning of the end of the creation of heart-felt music…after millennia of traditional music development.

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

True

[@SoldierOfJah]

While I do understand the sent I wholeheartedly disagree since it will be us humans who decide what is actually good music. Ai is merely an instrument.

[@petesmith6434]

@@SoldierOfJah When an AI instrument plays itself…you, the musician will have no part in the creation or performance of the music. That will take the soul out of the music, regardless of what people in those days consider “good” music.

[@Bashanvibe]

You can always retract the parts to make it human!!!🤷🏽‍♂️

[@petesmith6434]

@@Bashanvibe If music is produced solely by AI, there will be no “parts” to remove and there will be no way to replace them even if you could remove parts. The soul of a music piece is not contained in one of the “parts” it’s the entire piece and how the musician crafts each part to work together to create the whole. AI will destroy human artistic creation and replace it with something inhuman.

[@eyeque7]

You asked it to create an atmospheric worship song and not a big commerical hit like most producers would be trying to make? Unless it cant even create a slight resembelance of one?

[@lukeyd13]

Just a crappy ad with no features shown in context

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

I appreciate your comment!

[@seansmith373]

Honestly there is nothing in it that most daws can’t already do or need It’s great idea but I don’t find it that useful

[@Maplefoxx-vl2ew]

yea what's up with the generating music thing here at 2:22 in this video.. if you are doing what Suno and Udio is doing this is highly illegal if you are selling this product or do not have in your legal terms that creators do not retain ownership of ai generated music.. .that's why udio and suno are both free.. what's going on with your "music generator" i hate seeing that in music production.... generate midi... dont' generate already made music cuz you will run into legal issues.

[@musaicmixups]

The horrid downside of this DAW program is that it’s periodically in your business every 10 times you open it ; telling you that you can no longer use this program unless you connect to the Internet to prove that you purchased it. Therefore, this company is interrupting my workflow because I have to go to the public library just to reinstate my privilege to use the thing. This selfish protocol of theirs is also a threat that you will have wasted your $250 (or whatever RIP X DAW Pro costs) by the fact if they go out of business tomorrow, then the next 10th time you open it will be your last.

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

All valid points!

[@bksmith600]

I cannot work with it and cannot get any applicable info on using it. Just seems like a waste if I can't use it. Nothing on their site and can't get into the forums. Just plain disappointed. Where are the beginner videos???

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

Sorry

[@BurninSven1]

I do not use programs like this! I make music with real instruments and record them with mics. I do not use prerecorded audio stolen from pro music and remake the audio in some stupid program from outer space. If you cannot play the stuff live with real instruments it is simply just crap.

[@Homestudiosimplifed]

I appreciate your opinion, however… these tools can be useful for those learning to play, or for getting out of ruts.
