Built for the real work.
The Big Rip is a neural audio plugin for artifact-free time-stretching and pitch-shifting, built specifically for dialogue editors and re-recording mixers. No smearing, no watery artifacts, no fighting the algorithm. Just clean results, even when you push it hard.
I've spent more than twenty years in front of a console, mixing and cutting sounds for network and streaming television. Major shows, the kind where the schedule is brutal and the notes come fast and nobody cares about your excuses, they care about whether it sounds right.
Noise reduction had a revolution. Model-based tools showed up and suddenly we could do things that felt impossible. But time stretching just sat there. The same algorithms we'd been fighting with for years, still smearing transients, still turning good audio into that watery, artifacted mess when you pushed them even a little. The gap got embarrassing.
So I built the thing I wanted for my own sessions. The Big Rip is built by someone who actually has to live with the results, for the people who do the same work I do.
The universe is pulling everything apart. This is how we hold our piece of it together. Come do it with me.
