About
RipX DAW by Hit'n'Mix is a revolutionary AI digital audio workstation that treats mixed audio like an open project file. Unlike conventional DAWs, RipX separates audio into 6+ stems and then allows users to drill down to the individual note and harmonic level — editing, muting, replacing, or transforming any sound within a mix. Whether you're working with recorded music, AI-generated tracks, or live performance audio, RipX gives you total creative control. The software comes in two tiers: RipX DAW, which includes core AI stem separation and note-level editing, and RipX DAW PRO, which adds enhanced stem clean-up, top-tier audio repair, advanced effects, and Audioshop creative tools. A companion iPhone app extends the workflow to mobile. Key use cases include remixing commercial tracks, extracting clean vocals or instrumentals, replacing specific instruments in a recording, and repairing damaged or low-quality audio. It has been praised by industry professionals and artists like Kruder & Dorfmeister for enabling things previously thought impossible in audio production. RipX is ideal for music producers, remixers, DJs, content creators, and audio engineers who need deep, surgical control over audio. With a 21-day free trial available and pricing starting at $99, it's accessible to both hobbyists and professionals alike.

Pros
- Industry-Leading Stem Separation: Recognized as best-in-class for isolating audio stems, going well beyond the 2–4 stems typical of competing tools.

- Steep Learning Curve: The depth of features, especially note-level editing and audio repair, can be overwhelming for beginners or casual users.
- Not a Full Traditional DAW: RipX specializes in audio separation and remixing; users may still need a conventional DAW for full music production workflows.
