“RipX DAW is arguably the most powerful AI music suite out there at the moment, and also the closest to the kind of desktop DAW you might recognise – though it has tools that go way beyond what others currently offer.”
“While major DAWs are making tentative steps towards incorporating AI and machine learning – like Logic Pro 11’s generative Studio Assistant instruments — it’s the smaller developers who are seemingly doing the truly innovative, out-there thinking right now. Notable among them are Hit’n’Mix, developers of RipX DAW.“
“AI has been on the mind of Martin Dawe, founder of Hit’n’Mix, for a very long time. His roots go back over 30 years when he first started to toy with the idea of audio separation. “In about 1997, I came up with the idea of scanning sheet music, and the guys at Sibelius contacted me and asked me to meet up. We still sell PhotoScore with Sibelius. A few years later, I started doing audio separation, trying to convert it into notation, and throughout the ’00s that developed into achieving higher and higher quality. By about 2010, I had the basic bones of Hit’n’Mix and we actually launched it to see if the technology could start to deconstruct music tracks.” Dawe continues, “About four years ago, we released Hit’n’Mix Infinity which was the first pro version of the technology, and then machine learning algorithms were incorporated and we went more into audio source separation as well as audio cleanup.”
“It’s transformed into a creative tool that solves the problem of generative AI music being unlistenable a lot of the time — chaotic or robotic.” And this could help its wider adoption, aiming to produce an end result with AI that’s more acceptable to most people’s ears. It’s also likely that auto-generated music will become less robotic in time as the tools used to make it improve.”
“It’s a very, very broad product. There’s a lot of remixers and DJs but an equal number of musicians who use it to look at songs and work out what notes are played so they can learn a tricky guitar part. Plus, obviously, producers wanting to adjust sounds inside a mix. I don’t think there’s any kind of musician that wouldn’t get some sort of benefit out of it.”
“We’ve got our finger on the pulse of AI. With this Rip format, we have the advantage of being able to build it from the ground up rather than having to go back through 30 years of code and try to reimagine it. So we’re very aware of all the different tools coming out, and we’re really just thinking about what the best integrations would be, what the best ways to go about collaborating with some of these technologies would be, and making sure that we’re at the forefront of it, whatever it is. Because as we all know, these things change day to day. Whatever it may be, we will be at the forefront of having the best interface to use AI music in an ethical, creative and fun way.”
