Hit’n’Mix announces RipX DAW 8

Celebrate with 20% Off RipX DAW and RipX DAW PRO until Jan 1

Hit’n’Mix reveals RipX DAW 8, a major upgrade shaped around a more human creative experience: The first and only DAW to treat audio and MIDI ‘as one’, RipX DAW 8 builds on the core fundamentals - next-generation unified audio/MIDI editing, multiple award-winning editable stem separation, and AI-powered sound transformation - by introducing chord progression tools, dynamic Track Starters, loopable selections, 11 new FX, new sounds and loops, and countless other enhancements designed to incentivize artists to stay immersed in the creative flow state and tap deeper into their own organic creative instincts.

Martin Dawe, Hit’n’Mix CEO and the creator of RipX DAW comments “Our vision for RipX has always been about empowering artists with a more natural and human way of interacting with sound. We designed this update with the goal of helping them tap more easily into their own creativity: When you’re locked into a project, losing track of time in your DAW, reaching a flow state... This is what makes music human. As music production technology continues to evolve, supporting creators to execute on their vision as easily as inspiration strikes becomes one of the most meaningful things we can offer as developers.”

The update comes in the wake of last month’s debut of the RipX for iPhone app, allowing users of all musical backgrounds and proficiency levels to capture ideas as seamlessly as ideas arrive. The app brings RipX’s core tools to mobile and introduces an immersive AR Mode that places virtual instruments throughout your space, REACT motion-based sound shaping, and built-in performance capture for turning quick inspiration into shareable creations.

To celebrate the release of RipX DAW 8, Hit’n’Mix is offering 20% off RipX DAW and RipX DAW PRO from 9 December 2025 - 1 January 2026. This includes upgrades from RipX DAW to PRO.

RipX DAW includes the world’s leading audio separation and in-the-mix note & chord editing technology. Additionally, record using a MIDI/MPE/laptop keyboard, or microphone/audio input, lay down sounds extracted from existing audio, or the built-in library. A wide range of single-click automated effects are included, allowing for plenty of experimentation.

RipX DAW PRO includes all of the features and functionality of the RipX DAW, then adds advanced stem and AI Music Generator clean-up, Audioshop sound manipulation tools, and pro DAW features. Version 8 includes Track Starters: thoughtfully-crafted dynamic musical templates designed as starting points to help creators conceptualize ideas into full, original tracks. Tweak sounds at the harmonic level, draw in guitar slides and vocal embellishments, and edit noise and unpitched sound without affecting the melody. Python scripting is included for complete programmatic control over audio.

- Note and chord recognition to help musicians learn parts to songs.
- A user-friendly, note-based interface - for transparent pitch/time-based editing and effects, with instant visual feedback.
