Product Description:
Have fun recording your musical ideas and create complete songs easily. RiffWorks includes looped recording, automatic track creation, 7 guitar-oriented effects, 4 Backups (InstantDrummer, REX Player, ReWire, Metronome), instant podcasting, and online music collaboration.
Using the RiffWorks desktop recording application, up to four musicians can connect and collaborate on a song simultaneously. As a layer records, it instantly streams to other players running RiffWorks. As the Riff loops, other players can add more. All contributions are saved on RiffWorld.com and can be opened later for further collaboration. Musicians worldwide are creating songs together online no matter how far apart they live! During the beta test, over 600 songs were created by 200 collaborators worldwide (US, Canada, UK, EU, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and more) with no latency or distance problems. RiffWorld.com is now out of beta, and 25,000 RiffWorks users are ready to play!

prawntoastThe first revolutionary aspect of the software is the Instant Drummer - just select a vibe and the drummer takes care of the rest. The patterns can shift and evolve at the turn of a knob, just find something you like, hit record and BOOM!...start those creative rolling. The software comes with a number of Instant Drummers but the number of available drummers is growing all the time with Drums on Demand, Drummerheads and Submersible are among the companies working on new content. All of which are available through Sonoma's own store for the very reasonable price of $9.99 each.
Don't be fooled by it's apparent simplicity - under the hood there's a tons of extra options and effects that you can use to personlise your recordings. Then when you're done why not share it with the world. At the touch of a button your latest creation can be mixed and uploaded to the RiffCaster website. This community aspect to the software and the music it can be used to create is pretty unique to RiffWorks.
Version 2 has taken this community aspect one step further with the introduction of RiffLink. This allows RiffWorks users worldwide to collaborate on new tracks. RiffLink also incorporates a chat function to allow users to discuss their collaboration and swap playing and recording tips. RiffLink is still in beta at the moment (Aug 06) but initial signs are extremely promising and when it goes live it will be yet another unique feature of the software.
