3 questions I'm dying to know :)

[KrisG]

Hey guys I'm just wondering if anyone knows the answers to these questions

1) does RWS have a zoom option on the faders when you open it up? the reason why I'm asking is because when you record small little sections...you get these nice little blocks that are easy to work with and replace with other guitar takes...however if I want to record all the rythym in a song in one shot the faders are hard to work with because you can't zoom in and you get these massive lines that are hard to work with.

I'm having trouble using riffworks standard in a sense that when I record a riff and play it a few times and then move on to another riff. the guitar tone sounds different from riff to riff so when I build a song it sounds a little off...however when I record all the rythym in one take from start to finish...its hard to move the faders up and down to replace sections with other takes?

how do you guys use RWS? do you do it riff by riff and notice that they dont match up so well sometimes or do you do the whole rythym from start to finish and replace the mistake sections

2) is there a way to make a finished .wav file that includes the rythym guitar AND part of the percussion. I want to make a finished .wav file with a snare hit at the beginning of the track from rewire? its a long explanation why I want to do that so i wont get into it but I'm wondering if anyone knows if i can do that.

3) i haven't tried this yet and I might be on the wrong forum to ask but does anyone know if stealthplug will work with Nuendo as a direct input source?

hope those questions made sense

thanks a lot you guys,
you've been so awesome so far as to helping me out

No zoom feature I am aware of in Riffworks. Which faders are you having trouble adjusting? If you don't change your tone there is no reason for it to sound different from riff to riff, unless of course you have riff effects applied to one and not the other. I agree it can be difficult if you come back at a later date and try to replicate the tone; in this respect it is better to try and save presets for effects as much as possible so you can get pretty close to what you had originally.

Can't help with the second question sorry. I am sure you can make a wav file easily enough but as for mixing with rewire I am not up on that side of things.

Stealthplug should work with other audio apps - I don't think it is tied to any particular software like Line6 devices.

Cheers.

Dave.

We are so seriously overdue for an upgrade to Riffworks that it has me wondering now...how long has the current version been active? I'm guessing (or hoping) the delay has been because of Rifflink and RiffWorld projects? Man, there's so much potential here but some of these issues NEED to be addressed!!

KrisG, can you clarity what you mean please. I don't understand what you mean by 'faders' and then what you mean by a 'zoom option on the faders'. Re getting the tone right from riff to riff, well Davenz is right, either try and record all your rhythm parts in one song at the same time, in which case there shouldn't be a difference in tone. Or save your tones for each song and then only apply riffworks effects at the mix stage. Even better, however, the whole concept of riffworks differs from standard recording in one important way. Normally you would have to record the guitar for each verse and chorus separately. With riffworks, once you have one version of the verse rhythm guitar you are happy with you you simply duplicate the riff and use that to layer on top of. This means not only that you tone should be identical, but that the playing is as well; timing, phrasing, and yes even those little mistakes that might make something really interesting.
