Riley Knapp, platinum selling songwriter & producer explains “The output of most AIMusic Generators is robotic, chaotic and usually unlistenable. This is due to the fact AI ‘samples’ contain elements that are out of key, out of time and don’t follow any musical structure. With RipX DAW, I am able to separate each sound within a generation, re-pitch and fine tune any elements, create a musical structure out of it and replace any subpar sounds with high quality sounds. RipX DAW’s unique ‘Edit-in-Mix’ workflow makes it possible to humanize AI Music.”
Listen to clips of Riley’s work with RipX DAW and AI here.
The first and only DAW to treat audio and MIDI ‘as one’, RipX DAW replaces existing RipX DeepRemix, DeepCreate and DeepAudio modules with a streamlined offering of one standard and one Pro version. Built around the revolutionary Rip Audio format, it makes child’s play of in-the-mix editing in ways that are not possible with waveform and MIDI based software. RipX DAW is tailor-made for every kind of music and audio creative, with special emphasis on the new generation of AI-inspired content creators
Martin DAW, Hit’n’Mix CEO and the creator of RipX DAW comments: “The excitement, fun and creativity that RipX users express to us each day has incentivised our team into creating something truly unique, powerful and accessible. We listened, and to enable even more creative time within the RipX environment, we seamlessly added tailored recording tools, workflow improvements and effects. As we carefully worked-in these enhancements, it became clear that we were on a direct course to the creation of a DAW in its own right. Not just any DAW, but one built from the ground up with ease-of-use and unprecedented control over music and audio at its very heart. Moreover, AI music generation has become big news over the past few months, and the Rip Audio format is ultimately placed to make this technology truly useful, and importantly ensure that human creativity is not lost, with peerless in-the-mix editing and audio extraction. Now you can create music from start to finish and even transform AI’s musical imaginings into your own, all within RipX DAW and RipX DAW PRO.“
