Create Guitar Backing Tracks with RipX from Favorite Songs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 чер 2022
- With RipX you can take an audio file of a cover song that you’re working on, drag and drop it into the workspace window. The program rips the song apart into individual tracks that include vocals, guitar, bass, drums, kick drum, and other percussion. You can use this program to create your own backing tracks. Simply mute the guitar or any other instrument and play along with the original recording. You can also solo any track to hear exactly what is being played on the original recording.

Excellent video and that software is insane. My favorite quote of the video: "it captured some of my guitar parts as violin and I take that as a compliment" haha. I absolutely love the song.
Thanks Dan. I really appreciate the compliment. Yes, the software is insane. Hope you take the time to check out their free demo.
When I was in the Navy back in the mid 80's, I ordered several of your lessons. Back then, these were on cassette tape with an accompanying booklet. These lessons were invaluable at the time. Thank you very much and it's awesome you are still doing this.
I was in the Navy in the 90's and even though I play bass - myself & friends thought the magazine ads kicked ass and always wanted to check them out.
Thanks guys. Yeah, the lessons were extremely popular back then. It was unbelievable how many we shipped out every week. The lessons are still popular but it was a bit easier when there was no competition. lol
This is exactly what I was looking for if I wanted to learn my favorite bands music.
Yes, you'll enjoy this. It's absolutely perfect for that. I've been working on a cover tune both learning the song and creating the backing track. Works great.
This program is awesome! It makes tasks of composing and even studying piece of music much easier. It’s makes more a treasure hunt as opposed to pain stalking task of discovering and creating and learning. I can’t wait to try it myself. When your imagination is working you can manage your thoughts better and bring to life the music before your eyes. When it comes to working with others to perform each person with their respective can feel comfortable with themselves easier first and then relaxing into an atmosphere to include all parts. This program is cool.
Thanks Cynthia. You're absolutely right.
Great video, Doug! Love that you covered application as well as technical functions. Super-helpful advice for learning guitar (and other) parts!
Thanks Sarah.
This is incredibly useful, thanks for telling us about this software Doug. Will definitely check it out.
You're welcome. Thanks for commenting.
This is great - thanks for sharing, Doug!
You're welcome Steven.
Very interesting. I always believed that once a recording was mixed down to stereo, it wasn't possible to isolate tracks this well.
Transcribing might be so much easier now... thanks, Doug!
You're welcome. It definitely helps. I find it even more useful to create backing tracks. Backing tracks sound pretty good when you "borrow" the lead singer.
Great demo, Doug! This is exactly the type of utility I need, and it would sure beat a metronome!
Beat a metronome... no pun intended. That's great. Yeah, you're going to love it.
Great video, Doug--thanks for letting us know about this! I can see lots of uses for learning, practicing, creating karaoke/backing tracks, etc! And I love the Hawk tune, of course!
Thanks. Yeah, it's great.
Dig it man. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much. Your video helped a lot. Keep up the good work.
Very cool stuff Doug!!!
Thanks sharkman.
Wow that sounds awesome exactly something I'm looking for thank you
Great. Yes, I loved making the video because I realize how much the program will mean to people. My first test was just to grab a song that came to mind which was Walk This Way by Aerosmith. I always wondered if I got the guitar part right in the verse. So, I dropped the song in the program window and my jaw dropped to the floor when I soloed Steven Tyler. It was like hearing the vocal track in the studio, breathing and all. Amazing.
Thanks for the review of this neat program. Double thanks for your metal method vhs tape which got me started playing guitar back in 89 or 90. I didn't know what a chord or scale was. Those lessons awesome for beginning guitar!
Thank you very much. Glad you got off to a good start with my VHS lessons. The course began on audio cassette years before VHS.
Interesting software. Thanks for the heads-up
It's pretty amazing. Every time I'm working on a cover tune, it's invaluable. Recently I've created some very good backing tracks, minus guitar to practice with. I often import the original vocalist which is killer. So, it's all my tracks plus the original singer.
I’ve only recently (accidentally) discovered RipX so I can make my “play along” guitar and bass videos for UA-cam, and I’ve gotta say, this AI software is an absolute game changer!
I also use it to isolate vocal parts that I need to learn and can’t exactly make out from the record - harmonies I need to learn when I’m the ONLY backing vocalist to singers who don’t exactly stick to the script of the scale… so I’d have to learn/know all the available voices…
And to think - these are only the beginning stages of these AI separation tools, and I can’t imagine what it’ll look like in the next year or so!
Thanks so much for this very useful video! Those audio waves all together create a weird (and chaotic) effect on screen, but I think I'm going to give it a try. I'm curios to hear how it behaves with other types of music too.
That's a good point. In my opinion when none of the tracks are soloed, what you see on the screen isn't very useful unless you want to move a sound to a new layer. But, when you solo instruments, what you see on the screen is quite useful for some instruments like bass, kick drum, and lead guitar.
lol... OMG!, when you said "1986" I was in shock because I remember waiting for the Hawk cassette on PRE-ORDER... lol
That's great. I started selling the album before I entered the studio. I needed that pressure to complete the project. I think it took me about six months to deliver on the promise. That takes me back.
@@DougMarks as a young kid in houston,Tx I purchased the Lessons and then waited for that release so anxiously... lol. and It was as good as I expected it to be.. now I live across the street from the MUSONIA school of music here in the valley. Randy Rhoads moms school. which his brother Kelle stills runs.... been a long trip since '86... glad to see you're still Going strong!! and thanks for responding..
A more limited (only a certain set of songs, split into only a specific set of tracks) I use RockBand (the game) tracks and import them into audacity. RipX goes well beyond that, though.
Great review Doug, thanks. I'm thinking if it converts drums and bass to midi (piano roll) then maybe these can be replayed via a VST instrument to remove the flanging effect etc, thus enabling a fresh/cleaner sounding backing track. If this is the case it would save some time recording the parts yourself. Appreciate your thoughts 🙂
this is fantastic. seems too magical to be true, great demo. "it detected parts of my guitar as a violin, which I take as a compliment" 😆
I wonder how it does on a vocalist who sings lots of vocal runs (pop R&B style, appoggiatura). Or vocal harmonies, like the group Pentatonix. or a vocalist who uses lots of vocal percussion, like Micheal Jackson?
Or how about detecting that controversial first chord of the Beatles song, "A Hard Day's Night", that would be fun. (There is a somewhat recent interview with Randy Bachman where he explains reverse engineering this famous chord from the real Beatles master tapes.)
I'll have to get it and try.
SB, you're getting greedy. lol The software isn't perfect but it is good to the point of almost being magical. I have a few suggestions for improvement but it's amazing just the way it is.
Doug, I play in a cover band and sometimes we use backing tracks. Can the files be saved as a wav or mp3 once edited?
Absolutely. As I said in the video, the individual tracks can also be saved and imported into a DAW so your band can replace the original tracks with new performances.
If it can't isolate ALL of the guitar parts then why would I want this?
Just listen to all the guitars on Zep or Alice Cooper songs or Hendrix.
I need a tool like this that is guitar specific.
You will pay. You will pay dearly sir!
