Hit’n’Mix

AI Empowerment. Audio Mastery.

Cutting-edge audio manipulation software that accurately isolates voice, drums, bass, sound effects, guitar, keyboard and other layers from full-mix stereo MP3s, WAVs and other file formats, using industry-leading AI source separation.

Additionally, DeepAudio includes tools for producing even higher quality separated audio, such as the Harmonic Editor, Unpitched Sound Editor, and Noise Removal.

Experience unprecedented access to – and control over – the notes, harmonics, unpitched sound and other core components of audio, such as amplitude, frequency and phase. All in a powerful but easy-to-use click & drag interface.

Audioshop® Sound Manipulation Tools

• Powerfully, but easily, adjust pitch, time-stretch, copy and paste individual or groups of notes, sibilants and unpitched sounds.
• Edit Unpitched tool displays all unpitched sound spread over the entire Rip, from its top to its bottom. Click & drag to select a region of unpitched sound and edit it.
• Draw notes, drums and samples onto your rip with the Draw Sound tool.
• Use the Split tool to cut notes into sections for further editing.
• Piece together notes so you can edit as one, with the Join tool.
• Quickly change the instrument playing notes, say from vocal to guitar, using the Replace Sound tool.
• Clone characteristics such as pitch variation (e.g. vibrato), sound (timbre with volume) & panning from one note to another, for example to duplicate a real instrumentalist’s playing style, with the Clone tool.
• Make fine pitch adjustments and slides simply by clicking and dragging, with the Draw Pitch tool.
• Add fluctuations in pitch, formant, volume, and panning to notes, using the Apply Pattern tool.
• Blend together the pitch, formant, timbre, volume and/or stereo panning of notes by clicking & dragging over them, with the Smooth Region tool.

Harmonic Editor

This is no Spectrum Editor – these are the actual harmonics that describe the sound of a note, and Harmonic Editor allows complete control over them.

Perfect for removing noise, adjusting timbre and creating interesting new sounds.

Noise Removal

Quickly remove background or foreground noise from selected notes and unpitched sound.

Manipulate Audio With Even More Tools

DeepAudio editing features don’t stop there, including audio manipulation tools such as:

• Chord Creator
• Infinity Scale
• Inharmonicity and the Beat
• Panning
• Pitch and Volume Mappers.

DAW Integration

Most leading DAWs can open audio clips for editing with DeepAudio. RipLink plug-ins are installed so that it can be used from Pro Tools and DAWs that support VST3 & ARA2.

For other DAWs, such as Logic Pro X, it is possible to work directly with RipX by setting it as the external sample editor, or by using general audio import and export methods.

RipScripts – Create Your Own Powerful Tools

For the ultimate in audio manipulation, DeepAudio supports RipScripts written in the Python programming language, and even includes a special editor.

Not only can you create a tool with its own UI, RipScripts have access to and control over the core building blocks of sound, such as notes, harmonics, amplitude and frequency.

In fact, the Audioshop and Harmonic Editor features described above are RipScripts.

Remove Vocals. Extract Stems. Create Music.

Audio is stored in Hit’n’Mix’s revolutionary Rip format, a step up from waveforms, enabling full control over all aspects of sound.

For example, you can mix your favorite parts together and have fun experimenting with different tempos, effects, pitches, scales, time-stretching, stereo panning (even on mono tracks), volume, and EQ. You can even create loops and edit them during playback to create new music in real-time.

Copy and paste parts from one track to another, automatically fitting the new tempo.

Apply powerful built-in live effects ranging from Reverse to Delay to Vibrato. Add Harmony to thicken out a vocal, Shift Formant to change the characteristics or apply a Low/High Pass filter for a different atmosphere.

For real inspiration, apply the Randomize effect, set a loop playing and DeepRemix will automatically create variations of the audio in what we call a Ripple. You can play back, edit and copy & paste audio from a Ripple to your working Rip, or even loop and edit it real-time to create further Ripples.

Changing a song’s musical scale

To help getting the right notes & chords, you can set the musical scale or key of the track – or click Detect and let RipX work it out for you. Notes will snap to the pitches that are part of the scale as you change their pitch by clicking and dragging up/down.

Turn on Auto Pitch To Scale and RipX automatically fits notes to the scale, whilst keeping it sounding natural.

The Randomize effect means you can set up a loop and hear sections of music played back in different scales – find the one that you like best.

Remix software with the right mood

Drop your own background image (PNG or JPEG) onto the rip to set the mood when creating music.

DeepCreate is a unique, fun and easy-to-use, yet powerful and intuitive audio system that lets you generate original ideas and create music from scratch using any instrument, MIDI/MPE device, microphone or sample/s, integrating seamlessly into the award-winning DeepRemix & DeepAudio work-flow, for use alongside your DAW or as a standalone app.

What you see is what you hear and you don’t need to think about audio and MIDI – they become one, inspiring boundless creativity!

Whether you’re a musician, producer or audio professional – DeepCreate is a cutting-edge audio playground where anything goes. Connect a turntable, microphone, any instrument or hardware synth, rip your audio files and favourite VST synth presets, import and auto-assign banks of samples to your MIDI/MPE device, practice and record parts, perform or draw in automation, add groundbreaking, fluid effects, create combos of those effects and much more.

Once your ideas have been developed fully, either finalise and mix within RipX, or export the stems to your DAW. Better yet – DeepCreate even comes pre-loaded with a huge variety of useful stock sounds to get you started.

As a reminder, Hit’n’Mix invented the revolutionary Rip audio format, a way of storing pure audio as note and unpitched sound objects, which can be edited with considerable ease and flexibility compared to traditional waveform-based formats. As a result, the RipX platform has been developed to take advantage of the Rip format, allowing for a unique and powerful, yet easy-to-use ecosystem of modules all integrated seamlessly into one super-charged platform.

With DeepCreate now added as the third module in the chain, users can take advantage of a stream-lined, customisable UI, and a simplified approach to creating and editing sounds and songs from ideation through to completion – powered by AI.

Martin Dawe, Hit’n’Mix CEO and the creator of RipX DeepCreate comments:

“As a music-loving software developer wanting to get into music production in my earlier years, I always felt that a new kind of audio sketchpad or idea generator for coming up with and developing more instinctual ideas before taking them into my DAW was needed. Something with a different, faster workflow compared to a DAW, and with a very easy-to-use UI but with hidden depths that wouldn’t sap the creative ideas in my mind before I’d even started, and wouldn’t require me to think too technically.

Fast forward to 2022, and I believe that an app like this is more needed than ever before! Yes, there are plenty of great DAWs and mobile apps out there to help you generate ideas, edit audio and create songs, but not many desktop apps with a more stream-lined, yet expressive approach. With RipX DeepCreate, we’re now one-step closer to realising my original vision for the platform. Offering a series of inter-connectable modules for anyone to design and edit sounds, plus create songs alongside their DAW or as a standalone app. Furthermore, making the Rip format the default format within RipX has enabled us to rid the need for conventional MIDI and waveform editing.”

RipX DeepCreate makes it possible to

• Effortlessly plug in, detect, choose from and record any audio input or MIDI/MPE device – select your device from the Inputs Panel and then press the red record button to record onto the Layer of your choice. Record within Layers of ripped stereo audio files, other files or create new Layers to record from scratch!
• Easily re-perform and re-sequence Layers – auto-map any sound/s to any MIDI/MPE device. Just select your sound/s from the Sound Panel, auto-assign, perform, and record into an existing or new Layer. No need to create separate audio and MIDI tracks like most DAWs!
• Use automation in creative new ways – draw in or assign any parameter to any audio input MIDI/MPE device to make your sound more dynamic, whether in real-time or after recording. Record filters with your voice, or tweak reverb amounts via gesture-controlled movements with your hands. Anything goes!
• Experiment with a huge choice of dynamic and creative audio effects – incredibly, you can swap any sound for another, like a vocal line for a guitar riff. Control effects via MIDI in real time or after recording. Turn a knob to apply pitch correction to your voice or tweak modulation with your hands, for the ultimate in expressive output.
• Go deeper and find your unique sound by constructing Effects Combos – drag and drop your choice of effects and samples onto each other and unlock your full creative potential.
• Use sounds from your existing recordings or rip VST Instruments – open your VST instruments, rip and store any preset in the Sound Panel, assign them to your MIDI/MPE device for recording, or drag and drop them into any Layer. No need to revisit your DAW!
• View note names on a handy Piano Roll – showing the name of notes as the playhead moves through each key. Really useful for learning and practising purposes!
• Record MIDI when record isn’t active – stored as Practice Clips in case you forget to press record when in a creative flow-state!
• Customise the UI and Panels to suit your tastes – floating Panels allow you to open, close or move them from the left or right hand side by simply clicking and dragging.
• Get inspired by choosing from thousands of useful, stock sounds – simply scroll down the Sound Panel and drag and drop them
