Just wondering if any of you might be using RipX Deep Audio to render stereo files to individual tracks or if you might be using something similar. If so, could you enlighten me on how well it works?

I've had RipX DeepAudio for a while now and use it a lot, but I can't say I'm an experienced user enough to give 100% guaranteed information. And I also don't speak English very well, so I use Google Translate to help myself from the Czech language. It may happen that someone does not understand me well somewhere, but it can be communicated afterwards.
You probably know that this application has a home page: https://hitnmix.com/ and that there are three application versions offered here - DeepRemicx, DeepCreate and DeepAudio, which are sufficiently described here, how they differ from each other. I only write what I actually use. I'll just start by stating what, in my opinion, cannot be used with the so-called one press of a button. And that is the conversion of singing audio to midi. I prefer to do it by ear, if I can do it, or if I have a problem, I have "great software" my friend Verunka, a great pianist with an absolute ear. My little angel Verunka can distinguish a note for a treble in a soprano, where two notes are separated by a semitone and the next note is perhaps a fifth. I have a problem hearing higher tones well and above 10kH I have to filter the sound, although often without success. However, I can hear bass tones very well. For converting audio to midi, Melodyne is a bit better, but the Ripx application allows you to edit the recording, either by deleting crosstalk notes, notes arising from aliquots or instrument tones similar to singing, or on the contrary, the singer has some notes similar to a violin, for example. It can also be solved by the fact that cleaning is not done by deleting, but you create a new track in the application, for example a fictitious instrument, and I can also convert these notes into a fictitious track. This way you can also separate the vocals from the main voice, and if there is a violin track and some violin note gets into the vocals, I'll put it back in the violin track. Otherwise, all RipX applications work great in my opinion, and in my opinion they are probably the best at what they can do. It makes a recording minus the vocals probably the most perfect of all the apps I have. The applications that I have can be read and I have them listed in the place of my profile and also always under the post. It can create tracks for vocals, guitar, piano from an audio recording (this is a newer function of distinguishing a piano from a guitar, it must be entered during the initial setup, and for that reason the division into instruments ( ripping ) takes longer. Furthermore, a track is created for the bass guitar (double bass) and three tracks are reserved for drums (kick, snare, hihat). If there are strings or brass, a track is created for them separately. The manufacturer of the application allows you to try the application for free for a certain period of time.

Since Spleeter is open source freeware, there are now only a few hundred apps using it as their engine, probably a few thousand by the end of the year. All are using the same engine. Izotope was using it in RX Advanced 7,

There are a few things it does well but most things it doesn't. My only use for any of them is noise reduction where it can be quite effective.

Spleeter use RX10 (iZotope) Standard since the RX7 Standard version, as well as the Audionamix xtrax application, as well as Acoustica from Acon Digital. I have them on my PC and I tried them and compared them and they are the same and quite good. But RipX applications have their own algorithm and it seems to me that it is better and instead of up to four tracks fixed in waves (without the possibility of changes in previous applications) it has the ability to divide the audio recording into more types of instruments than four tracks (for example, drums have three tracks) , we can see the notes in those wav tracks and can work with the notes similarly to Melodyne.
