RiffWorks v2.6 Update Coming

RiffWorks

A new, free update is coming for RiffWorks Standard v2.5 and RiffWorks T4 v2.5 users.

RiffWorks v2.6 for Windows has been given to beta testers. Sonoma's development team has been doing more MacOS testing than ever, and will be getting the MacOS build to beta testers this week. We are continuing to test on Windows 7, 64 Bit, Snow Leopard, and more.

What's New in RiffWorks v2.6?

  • Added dragging layers between riffs.
  • Fixed input effects panel drawing bugs.
  • RiffWorks' RiffLink online collaboration network connection code has been rewritten and improved.
  • RiffLink online collaboration loading and unloading has sped up tremendously.
  • InstantDrummer session streaming during collaboration has been improved.
  • Added option to turn off InstantDrummer streaming for those with slow internet connections.
  • Improved window drawing performance on MacOS.
  • Fixed subtle timing issue that would occur when riffs loop in the InstantDrummer and metronome. This was first reported by Doug Wimbish (Living Colour), who heard a timing error of less than half of a 1/128th note.

When RiffWorks v2.6 becomes available, an announcement will be made on our website, forums, twitter, facebook, and a special edition of the newsletter will be emailed. RiffWorks T4 and RiffWorks Standard users will be prompted to download the update when launching the program.

RiffWorks Line 6 Edition will not be offered this update, so RiffWorks Line 6 Edition v1 and 2 users should upgrade to RiffWorks Standard.

RiffWorks T4 users are encouraged to buy RiffWorks Standard now as RiffWorks Standard users will likely receive the free update first.

Premier Guitar Magazine features GuitarJack!

CNET on GuitarJack

"GuitarJack looks to be one of the highest-quality solutions for recording instruments with your iPhone or iPod Touch. The GuitarJack offers a 1/4-inch instrument input, stereo line input, and headphone output, all in an adapter that fits in you palm. More importantly, the line and instrument inputs offer selectable gain pads, 60dB of continuous analog level control, and can be separately assigned for simultaneous dual-mono recording. Construction quality is above and beyond any iPhone recording accessory we've seen, including a casing made from anodized aluminum, and a 1/4-inch input from Switchcraft made from a nickel-plated brass."

Jordan Rudess Anxiously Awaits the GuitarJack

"When I was traveling last month in the San Francisco area, I stopped over at Sonoma Wire Works. I expected to just say hello and check out their latest apps. To my surprise they pulled out their GuitarJack prototype. It has a professional look and feel to it that just has quality written all over it! I'm waiting very impatiently to get my hands on one of these babies! It's going to be a perfect addition to my mobile touring rig!!" - Jordan Rudess (Dreamtheater)

FourTrack Review by Music Tech Magazine

MusicTech Magazine FourTrack Review

"All FourTrack's functions worked flawlessly as we sketched out a four-track song idea all the way through to exporting the project. To take your projects a step further, the RiffWorks T4 program for PC/Mac lets you import and mix your projects. Verdict: 9 out of 10 stars." Review in the Music Tech Magazine June 2010 print issue, not online.

Engadget: "iPad Apps: Creativity unleashed"

StudioTrack featured on Engadget.com

"We were frankly impressed with how good looking, responsive, and intuitive the app is (StudioTrack) -- GarageBand could really learn a thing or two -- we multitracked our first session in minutes. $39.99 sounds like a lot, but when it bests anything on your laptop for "jotting down" song ideas, it's probably worth taking note of."

Trey Anastasio of Phish Obsessed with FourTrack

Trey Anastasio raves about FourTrack in Rolling Stone magazine

In a feature called "What I'm Excited About" in Issue 1103 (April 29th) of Rolling Stone magazine, Trey Anastasio raved about FourTrack:

"I'm obsessed with this recording app on my iPhone- the Sonoma Wire Works FourTrack. It's like you have a superpowerful studio in your pocket. I can record basically anywhere. Like, I was having lunch with a friend Steve Pollak in New York recently; he brought a bunch of lyrics, and we stared writing on the spot-we were on the corner of 94th and Amsterdam, singing harmonies and bass lines at the top of our lungs into the earpiece. People eventually started gathering around us. The demo captured that whole vibe-the excitement of being out on the street. I don't think I would've even remembered the melody by the time I got home. We took it to band practice, learned the tune right off the demo, didn't change one thing. And now we're going to play the song, "Show of Life," on this summer's tour."
