Info

Rips Panel This is where you can keep up to three tracks (called Rips) at once and mix between them. Click a slot to change the current Rip displayed. Click the Rips tab at the left to open/close the panel. Load Rip/MP3/CD track... Click to open an audio file in an empty slot. If an MP3 or CD track is chosen, it will be loaded and converted into Rip format. This is a new format created by Hit'n'Mix out of necessity, to allow individual notes to be stored and manipulated separately in a track. See section Loading an MP3 or CD track below. Keyboard equivalent: Ctrl+O (selects top‐most empty slot first). NEW Click to create an empty Rip. Great to use as a clipboard for ideas and snippets of songs. Alternatively start a mix from scratch. Keyboard equivalent: Ctrl+N (selects top‐most empty slot first). SAVE Once a Rip has been created, you can save it as a Rip (.rip) file. Rip files take only seconds to reopen in Hit'n'Mix. Hit’n’Mix auto‐saves all open Rips periodically, once more on exit, and reopens them when starting up the next time. If you or your friends want to play a Rip file on a computer that doesn't have Hit'n'Mix installed, download and play it back using the free Hit'n'Mix Play software from www.hitnmix.com. 2
You can also choose to save as an MP3 (.mp3) or Wave audio (.wav) file from the drop down box. Keyboard equivalent: Ctrl+S (Note: this performs a quick save ‐ the Save as... dialog box is not displayed if already saved before). CLOSE Close the Rip so you can create a new one in its place. Keyboard equivalent: Ctrl+W. Click this button to copy a selection from the currently displayed Rip to this button's track. Loading an MP3 or CD track Creating a Rip from an MP3 or CD track takes some time due to the cutting edge technologies involved. Hit'n'Mix loads a rough draft of the audio file before powering ahead. If you are trying out different songs, click Create Rip Now or press Escape after loading 30 seconds or so. Average timings for creating a 3 minute Rip using different processors are: Quad‐Core 5 mins Dual‐Core 10 mins Single‐Core 30 mins+ 3
