RiffWorks: Recording Made Fun
Capture ideas at the moment of inspiration. Set a tempo and start recording by strumming your guitar. Experiment with song structure using a simple Riff-based workflow. Tracks are created automatically as you play. Record multiple takes or layer parts without stopping the creative flow.

Add tempo-matched backups with the included InstantDrummer, Rex player, ReWire mixer, and metronome. InstantDrummer provides easy access to full-kit studio drum recordings - No programming necessary!

Include up to 7 studio-quality effects per layer including wah, multi-band distortion, modulation, delay, reverb, compression, and British style EQ.

RiffWorks is an inspiration platform with a familiar interface that looks like fun gear, not like a complicated DAW. It's easy, fun and productive because the focus is on playing, not engineering.

Record efficiently, stay creative, produce high-quality songs, jam online, and podcast your tunes without ever putting down your guitar. This is the most guitar-friendly recording software ever!

RiffLink Online Jamming
Record and collaborate with musicians from all over the world using the RiffLink interface integrated into RiffWorks. Any musician can join your session and work with you at the same time on the same song. There's even a built-in chat client. Each layer is instantly streamed to other current users as well as saved on the server for users who wish to contribute later. With RiffLink you can jam online with other musicians world-wide from within a multi-track recording interface with no latency or distance issues. There's nothing like it! Listen to RiffLink collaborations on RiffCaster.

RiffCaster Broadcasting

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. " I believe Sonoma Wireworks have broken new ground here. I'm certain their popularity will soar! Check it out folks, this one i"

Sound: Sounds way better than the price point would have you believe. I love the effects in here. Very musical! Feature: Pick a tempo and time signature, record a riff or part, find an Instant Drummer to match, and drag it up to the song timeline. Mix and match and move parts around at any time. It's a dream to be able to write and arrange like this! It's immediate and intuitive. Because of the way RiffWorks interacts with you it actually sparks ideas and gets the creativity happening. The Instant Drummers propel you into a groove and a flow and suddenly you've got something going. Other loop-based softwares are missing this feature. Also, the loops are smooth and seamless. Ease of Use: Doesn't really get any easier than this one kids! If you're new to recording this is your place to start and get up and running FAST! Quality: There are some minor bug issues to be resolved. They are trivial and I know the development team will get them fixed. Value: There's nothing to compare it to so the value is hard to place. It's in its' own class. Definitely a winner! Manufacturer Support: The best software support and online forums I've seen for music applications! The Wow Factor: What I love about this software is the analog-style interface, excellent graphics, streamlined work flow and innovation for song building. You can record ideas nearly as fast as you can think them up! Overall: I've tried Live, Cubase and others and no one can match what Sonoma Wireworks have done here for building songs in real time, on-the-fly! While it's not a full featured DAW (yet) it truly is in its' own class in terms of how it inspires and supports the creative process. The interface is the simplest and most elegant I have seen for tracking. As a guitarist and songwriter it's very conducive to the way I think and work. You can learn it in an afternoon. If you are new to audio recording I encourage you to try this. If you're a guitarist you'll love it. If you are looking for a songwriting application this one is a MUST for the toolbox. It won't do all of what the heavy hitters (Logic, Pro Tools, Cubase, etc.) will do. What it WILL do is get you started so you can export your project and finish it in one of these other applications. I promise you that you can work faster and smarter by starting with RiffWorks, creating and finalizing your ideas there and moving on to whatever you need to finish the job. Having said that, you could easily do the entire project right inside of RiffWorks. At least a few people on the forums have recorded and mixed entire albums with RiffWorks alone.
