We are pleased to announce the imminent release of RipX 5.2.5, featuring the following enhancements to the DeepRemix and DeepAudio modules:

Since v5.2.1

General

• Mac only: Now fully native for Apple Silicon (M1 etc) – up to 2x faster ripping speeds!
• Mac only: Focus correctly set in Export, Change Tempo and other RipScript windows, so you can type straightaway without clicking on the edit box
• Mac only: Python language version upgraded to 3.9
• Windows only: If choose the root of a drive as a Rips or Stems folder, now functions correctly
• Added How To… section to manual covering common tasks
• Various bug fixes

Editing

• Percussion now displayed and editable as ‘blobs’ like drums and kick drums.
• Stops playing properly when clicking on background of rip to stop full playback of selected notes
• Sets cursor correctly when clicking on background of rip to cancel note selection
• Faster application of live effects and repairs
• Mac: Notes no longer visibly stutter when applying live effects and repairs
• Fixed slider position for some effects that cannot be applied to unpitched audio, when unpitched audio is selected
• Fixed issue with apparently un-selectable notes after dragging a large number of them
• Harmony Effects can now be rendered using Audio>Render Adjustments & Effects. This allows you to quickly create harmonies, and then edit the harmony component further.
• Better Unpitched Tool auto-contrast
• Shows time range at bottom-right of screen for whole drum/percussion blob when hovering over one (previously just showed for part of it)

Ripping

• If Rips Output Folder is changed during ripping, ripping now completes successfully with the rip file in the newly chosen destination.
• Fixed temporary file removal.
• Improved progress bar accuracy
• Improved kick & snare drum recognition
• Fixed an issue where canceling ripping for a file could cause other files not to complete ripping

Exporting

• Fixed incorrect note tuning for MIDI Notes option (introduced in v5.2.1)
• Now exports Kick Drum, Drums and Percussion blobs in MIDI files. Only newly ripped tracks will include Percussion and it is recommended to re-rip for improved kick and drums recognition.
• Now stores tempo map in MIDI files
