Hi, i'm really loving the 30 day trial and already getting some nice results. I'm currently working on unmixing some old 70s hard-panned dual-mono stereo tracks and getting really good results ripping the left channel and then right channels individually to take advantage of the vocals and instruments already separated well. Problem I'm having, is I'd like to merge the Left rip and Right rip together again. I'm currently cutting and pasting, between left and right, but experience random results where the paste end up. If e.g. I try and paste the bass right to a new layer, if there's already bass left layer there, it overwrites instead of pastes to the new layer I've just created for it.
Any ideas if there's a workaround? Appreciate most will just be ripping stereo, but due to the dual mono nature of these master files the results are much better ripping each channel separately and then merging back to dual mono or just merged mono stems.
It's possible to do this in the following way:
- Open the Left Rip and press Cmd/Ctrl+A,
- Press Cmd/Ctrl+C,
- Open the Right Rip and place the cursor at the start,
- Press Cmd/Ctrl+V.
Many thanks David. I purchased the software today and noticed it's now at version 6 so will see how I get on, it looks very nice in its new GUI and layout. I like it!
That's great to hear. Thanks for the feedback - I've passed it on to our development team.
I had success pasting from one rip into the other, unfortunately, the alignment is off. I think this is because the auto-detection is seeing channel L as 62bpm and channel R as 125bmp and so the paste isn't aligning quite right. The playback is fine other than not quantized to the parent rip. Setting both rip bmp makes one faster or slower accordingly. I looked through the manual but couldn't find a project bmp setting, so not sure how I can do this. When I hard pan channel L & R and process as Stereo file it's just not as clear as doing two separate mono rips.
How is the bpm auto-calculated? Can I add some bpm tag to the .wav files or perhaps set the first few bars to the same audio perhaps?
Do you still find that the BPM are different in version 6.0.1 which can be downloaded from https://hitnmix.com/downloads
The BPM can be corrected by repositioning the bar lines. A bar line can be moved by clicking & dragging the handle beneath it. Subsequent bar lines update automatically so it's best to start with the first and work forwards through the Rip.
Hi David, yes i'm having some issues to do with BPM still between left and right rips. I can't seem to keep the bmp stable or the start position, even though the rip source is the same length of total samples, same sample rate and bit depth, just with different channel content. Here you can see how much the rip in red is being sped up compared to green which is the original and seems to be synced t other original source ok. I'm not always seeing this and I'm not touching anything to do with BPM.
Let me know if you would like me to send you a project file. Regards.
Please could you send us a message about this via https://hitnmix.com/contact/. A member of our support team will then be able to help you further.
OK. I think it's possibly only happening when above a certain amount of rips. I actually resolved it by deleting all rips and doing just this left and right channel rip again and that seems to have resolved it. Still shows different BPMs detected, but exported and then played as two .wav is seems fine today.
I have a lot of demixing to do on an album though so will be in touch with support if it happens again as then I'll have a rip project to share too.
Loving the software, great work. My only gripe is I'd love a brightness/contrast in the main edit window for quiet notes, but might be my system, I'm only on a laptop.
