Straurday - RipX backing track game changer

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


I've loved this song ever since hearing it on YouTube a couple of years back in a live version that he did. Such a great SRV sound!

Since then I've been trying to find a backing track for it so I could attempt a cover, but was never able to find one. So as soon as I saw this software I had to give it a go!

The program is RipX and it was reviewed on one of my favourite YouTube channels David Wallimann here

Holy snapping duck cracks! How good does that look! No more downloading infected dodgy backing tracks from Russian sites (well that's not true...). But this is just incredible.

The track that David uses to demo how it works is one of his own because of copyright issues so it was clean with just a few instruments. It was so clean! You could hear each track.

There is a free 30 day trial that I almost jumped out of bed to install and gave it a try. It's good, I'm not gonna lie and for a schmo like me it works really well. It doesn't compare to stems you can download but geez it's good.

With this song the guitar is completly gone, and playing it solo all you can hear is the guitar. The issue is the tracks are a bit muffled or almost washy sounding. In the scheme of things this is such a first world problem and for $99 (if I end up buying it) you couldn't complain too much.

Any who! Enjoy the song! Check out the recorded version and RipX. Let me know if you do!

Good lord! That is a game changer! I will put that on my to do list to try!

I'm not going to lie. A bit of wee came out when I saw the video for this...

I'll be interested to see what you think of it.

Sat first I thought it was a track creator using sample chunks or something then I watched the video and when he isolated the drums I was blown away!

It doesnt sound like got the blues, but i´ll take, only for the really good tone and playings, cheers. XD

hahaha I tried! I did try. Those bends don't sound tricky, but geez they are. Maybe next week... or the week after... 😁

You're really ripping it up there (see what I did there?). People are doing amazing things with software these days. I am sure I looked at something that did a similar job of splitting a track into stems a while back. It was just some Python code. I ought to dig that out again and try making my own backing tracks.

Rock on!

!PIZZA !LUV

I've tried other software before, but it was more of an EQ thing where it brought out the guitar or hid it a bit.

If you find (or write) some other software I'd be interested to give it a crack.

This is what I looked at. I have an old post about it. I may need to set it up again to try it. This looks like something similar. Maybe RipX is using that technology, but they can put a nice front end on it.

Forgot to roll my eyes at your dad joke...😁

Although I do not like this genre too much, but seeing your skills playing made me watch it many times! Great job David! Keep up the good work!\m/

Cheers! You should check out the software. I know some of the tracks you use are the actual recordings and you play along with them. I'd be interested to know if you're able to make backing tracks for these. I haven't made up my mind whether I'm going to buy it after the 30 days free.

Off course! I used backing tracks for some of my videos as well, but some songs are which doesn't have backing track to cover it. Anyway! thank you for your attention🙏🙌
