riffworks standard
simply awesome software.cant be a better tool out on the market to match this baby.i used cubase and thats for engineers not guitar players.this has built in drummers,can also buy new ones as well from website.10/10 and its easy to use.does what it says on the tin !!! 5 star.full of features and effects and amplitube 2 to boot.go get it now you wont regret it !!!
Innovative songwriting tool with an amazing, easy-to-use interface!!!
As a songwriting tool it's impossible to beat!! There is nothing on the market like this. I wish it had more features from traditional DAWs (like cut and paste editing and true VST support). For capturing ideas and assembling songs this is the first software I turn to. Then, I mix to a stereo .WAV file (if needed) and do mastering and other surgical edits in software like Reaper or Audacity. The more I learn to work with RiffWorks though I've found workarounds and am using other software less and less. I use RiffWorks almost every day.
The instant drummers sound amazing!! You can easily get quality recordings. Many people have recorded their CD straight from RiffWorks. The effects have some high points too. The delays are awesome! To actually hear how it sounds just listen to some of these contestants from the recent RiffRumble contest. Songs had to be posted or "Riffcast" from the software itself so you can be sure that you are hearing Riffworks in action here.

If you play guitar or bass and write music (or just love to jam and create backing tracks) there is little doubt in my mind that you will WANT this software! The instant drummers are invaluable to me because I can find that perfect groove, set it and forget it. The drums take care of themselves playing appropriate breaks and fills and later if I want a different drum sound I can easily change it (in real time). Being able to control the drum's tempo and time signature is a dream for me. The loop based format and riff structure make recording ideas in the form of verses, breaks, chorus, etc. so easy it's like magic. The song timeline allows you to arrange and rearrange these riffs or loops at any time. It is so easy to just create music and not worry about navigating menus and a complex software learning curve. This is straightforward software that looks great, is stupid-simple to use, and really inspires you to create music :-)
Riffworks is just plain awesome
Riffworks is just about the easiest to use recording software you're going to find anywhere. It's as simple as opening up the program, selecting one of the Instant Drummer tracks (more on that later), hitting record, and riffing till your heart's content.
RiffWorks is loop-based, meaning you can do several takes on any given riff without stopping, till you get it just right. Then you string together the riffs in the timeline to make a complete song.
RiffWorks has it's own integrated drum machine called Instant Drummer. Going a step beyond the ordinary drum machine, it allows you to add "Variation" - a humanizing element that keeps things from sounding too computerized and "perfect". Riffworks comes with several different Instant Drummer sessions, but more can be purchased from several different content providers.
After you've completed your song, you can then do what's called "Riffcasting". With a click of just one button from within Riffworks, you can broadcast your song to their server and share it with the world! Their new RiffWorld site allows you to organize the songs you've uploaded to the Web, and also allows people to add comments to your songs (don't worry, everybody there is really nice and helpful!).
Probably the one feature that stands out the most about Riffworks is called RiffLink. We're talking real-time online collaboration and songwriting with people from around the world. Log into the Rifflink server, select a collaboration to join, and the riffs you record are instantly streamed to a central server for everyone to hear. No other software package I've seen has anything close to this type of capability, it's truly unique, and worth the asking price just by itself.
The entire Riffworks interface is set up to look like the analog audio gear we guitarists know and love, so the interface requires no learning curve. Plus the price is absolutely dirt cheap. Riffworks is perfect for the guitarist or bassist who wants a quick, easy way to record ideas with great results, or to collaborate with people around the world and write new songs.
RiffWorks Standard
RiffWorks Standard really will change the way you look at recording music.
The linear format of many pieces of recording software has been cleverly adapted to concentrate on recording in 'blocks' (referred to as 'riffs').
'Riffs' are joined together to form your song. It really is as simple as that!
The user interface is highly intuitive and you'll have your first composition up and running in minutes.
RiffWorks also comes with a set of 'Instant Drummers' - pre-recorded drum loops with a flexible 'humanise' function to give your beats those 'diddly' bits that real drummers are often prone to throw in!
There are also SEVEN VST effects that come with the package to give your instruments that studio feel.
RiffWorks also gives its users access to 'RiffLink' - a virtual recording studio where you can jam, record and produce songs with musicians from all over the world - without even having to spend the airfare to meet them.
RiffWorks doesn't pretend to be like any of the 'big name' products out there, yet for the functionality it offers, it competes admirably with the of them and for a fraction of the cost. Its support service and its user forum are truly 'second to none'.
Use RiffWorks like a sketch pad to throw ideas down; use it to produce quality demos; use it to jam and record with other musicians; ... whatever you do ... just use it!
