RipX just levelled up again: Version 8 of Hit’n’Mix’s AI DAW brings you one-click looping, new effects, and dynamic Track Starters to help spark creativityHit’n’Mix has revealed RipX DAW 8, a significant upgrade to its flagship DAW focusing on next-gen audio/MIDI editing and AI-powered features including stem separation and more.
The 8th version of RipX introduces new chord progression tools, dynamic Track Starters designed as starting points to help creators formulate ideas, loopable selections, 11 new effects, new sounds and loops and “countless other enhancements”.

“Our vision for RipX has always been about empowering artists with a more natural and human way of interacting with sound,” says Martin Dawe, Hit’n’Mix CEO and creator of RipX.
“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.”
The update arrives in the wake of last month’s RipX for iPhone app debut, which brought RipX’s core tools to mobile with an immersive AR Mode, motion-based sound shaping, and built-in performance capture.
RipX’s hallmark MIDI and audio ‘as one’ approach remain at the heart of RipX DAW 8 and RipX DAW PRO, where everything is treated in the same editable Rip Audio format. PRO users also gain expanded cleanup tools for AI-generated material, deeper sound manipulation via Audioshop, and Python scripting for programmatic control over your audio.
Version 8 also introduces a refreshed UI, with a cleaner toolbar layout and workflow refinements designed to keep you focused on creative decisions rather than menu diving.
“RipX DAW is my go to for extracting stems and creating instrumentals and acapellas,” says Spencer Ludwig, Grammy-winning and Grammy-performing trumpeter, songwriter, producer, DJ and musical director.
“I also love using RipX DAW to pull out stems to creatively use pieces of songs as sampled material in productions that I’m working on.”
To mark the launch, Hit’n’Mix is offering 20% off RipX DAW and RipX DAW PRO from now till 1 January 2026, including upgrades from RipX DAW to PRO. A 21-day free trial of RipX DAW PRO is available at the Hit’n’Mix website, where full licences can also be purchased. RipX for iPhone is available now on the iOS App Store, with a complimentary one-month subscription for all features.
Prices are as follows:

RipX DAW: $99/£99/€114
RipX DAW PRO: $198/£198/€228
RipX for iPhone: Free, or $7.99/£7.99/€8.99 monthly for full features (first month free)
