Hit’n’Mix has announced the upcoming release of RipX Backstage for VR and Apple Vision Pro, promising technology that transforms any environment into a music production studio.
RipX Backstage offers a studio experience that combines virtual reality and spatial audio. Users can produce tracks and step inside music to hear, watch, and learn any song played on virtual instruments around them.
The ability to walk up to individual instruments to hear them more clearly and move them around creates a unique surround sound experience. The vertical separation of notes by pitch ensures that each note is heard clearly.
RipX Backstage features
- Disruptive Spatial Audio Technology: RipX Backstage delivers a paradigm shift in spatial audio, offering unprecedented detail by separating and localizing not just individual instruments, but also distinct notes within each instrument.
- VR/AR Integration: A New Dimension of Audio Interaction: Leveraging VR and Apple Vision Pro, RipX Backstage transcends passive listening. Users can dynamically manipulate the audio landscape, interacting with sound sources in a truly immersive and intuitive manner.
- AI-Powered Music Education: RipX Backstage introduces an AI-driven music education platform, visualizing musical performances across a range of instruments and providing an interactive learning experience that empowers users to analyze and emulate professional techniques.
- Spatial Audio Production Suite: Beyond passive listening, RipX Backstage functions as a comprehensive spatial music production suite, with only a headset required. Users can play virtual instruments, connect Bluetooth MIDI devices or sing/hum to perform any instrument live. A powerful, DAW-derived engine makes it possible to compose and produce original music within a virtual studio environment with an intuitive and user-friendly interface.
- The Rip Audio Format: Powering the Revolution: Built upon the revolutionary Rip audio format, also utilized in the acclaimed RipX DAW, RipX Backstage leverages the unique characteristic of Rip audio to store notes as individual objects, enabling unprecedented levels of detail, manipulation, and presentation.
- Convergence of Audio and Visual Technologies: RipX Backstage represents a significant step towards the convergence of audio with visual technologies, offering a groundbreaking platform for music consumption, creation and education that leverages the power of VR/AR and AI.
Compatible with the RipX DAW for Mac and Windows, RipX Backstage will soon be available. Hit’n’Mix is looking for Vision Pro testers and a Meta Quest version is also being investigated. You can contact Hit’n’Mix for more information on how to participate.
