It'll all make sense after October - when he joins you guys on the 'other side' of the pond. Then it'll be me wondering what the hell he's on about!

[Wedgebill]

Don't speak too soon Scotty, I might get the other side of the pond and then not understand what the hell I'm on about myself !!!!!

I posted on muscian's friend also and even if I didn't make the first 25, it was a pleasure to share my experience with others – thanks Michelle.

We've had 16 reviews so far, so there's 9 more drummers to be given away if anyone else is interested in writing some honest wordage. I'm removing the links to musiciansfriend and guitarcenter since those are all set now except for the stealthplug/riffworks bundle. All the other links could use some more reviews.

Thankyakindly,
Michelle

I left a very positive review at Sweetwater, which happens to be about 35 miles from me:)

I already received the free drummer (thanks). I'll be happy to post the same review on a couple of more web sites just because I love this product. Can you tell me which links you'd like to add reviews to? Thanks!

I couldn't resist posting a review in Harmony central. My brower crashed so I am not sure if it stuck....haha.....well here it is.....(I already have one review and a drummer so this is a freebie cause i dig sonoma stuff!!)

My background consists of 25+ years of noodling a jamming until finally I finally stubled on an insanely user friendly program RiffWorks, by a small independant company called Sonoma WireWorks.

From the minute I opened the program I was intrigued by the look of the user interface. Simulating a "rack" of vintage audio equipment, it is both familiar but fresh. The learning curve is amazingly small considering what you can get done in a few minutes. Pick a tempo and time signature. Then pick an Instant Drummer style. Adjust the variation and intensity on the fly while previewing your settings or just jam along for fun. The possibilties and uses for this program are up to the users imagination really. There is a ton flexability inherently built in because RiffWorks was concieved and desigend by guitar players and musicians. The fact that it works so well is the icing on the cake.

RiffWorks is the backbone of this incredible piece of software, but there is so much more. Once you create a few riffs with the built in Instant Drummer you might want to explore the other backup options. Perhaps you have some REX files you would like to record with....or a midi trigger device. The Rewire and Metronome optins just add to the party. Adding piano, synth and other patches are possible with Rewire capable programs like Reason. There is nothing like being your own one man (or woman) band for the night and having a recording to share.

After you have a song put together faster than you ever have before, RiffCast it and get feedback from fellow musicians and enjoy a wide variety of original songs in the meantime.

Think that is it?....wait until you try RiffLink, the online collaboration feature included with RiffWorks 2.1. Creating online musical collaborations is now a reality. RiffLink has spawned a few online "virtual" bands and more than a few fine collaborations. For the money I can think of no better purchase for any guitar player with a thirst for creating music with ease...and with people from all over the world.

No, I do not work for Sonoma, but I am a Junkie for the software they sell. Try it and you will be hooked.

I think SWW in general and Michelle in particular are cooler than the other side of the pillow
