RipX Try it →Watch full video →Song Design · Feb 2026

Demo summary

The demonstrator shows how to solo the voice layer, adjust track volumes, and use the zoom function to view automatically generated chord diagrams and individual notes in RipX.

Step-by-step

Select the processed rip from the top menu to open the workspace
Click on a specific layer name in the Layers panel to isolate that instrument
Press the Space bar to play or pause the audio
Hold the Control key and use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out horizontally
Press the Home button to return the current time indicator to the beginning of the track
Hover over a layer and drag the volume line up or down to adjust its relative level
Zoom in on the guitar layer to view the automatically generated chord diagrams and individual note data

Options

Solo a track entirely to remove other instruments
Lower the volume of a track to use it as a reference while playing over it

Watch out for

The chord detection is not 100% accurate and may not pick up every chord
Isolated notes may contain artifacts or sound 'gargly' rather than perfect

Tips

Point your mouse at the specific area you want to expand when using the zoom shortcut
Keep the original guitar at a low volume if you want to use it as a reference for playing your own parts
Use the note view to identify the specific notes that make up lead lines or vocal melodies

Highlights

“it's really cool. It's so you can you can tell like what what notes make up this.”
