About RiffLink & RiffWorld.com
Online music collaboration, as seen on RiffWorld.com, requires RiffWorks Standard or Line 6 Edition recording software. Both of these versions of RiffWorks include built-in online music collaboration. RiffWorks allows musicians from around the world to create songs together in what feels like real-time. Up to 4 people can work on the same song file at the same time and chat while they're at it. New tracks show up as soon as they are finished streaming and are always perfectly in sync. Each layer is instantly streamed to other current users and saved on the server for those who wish to contribute later. There are no issues with latency or with distance between users because of its loop-based recording technology. With one click users can broadcast songs and get feedback from others on RiffWorld.com.
RiffWorks Standard and Line 6 Edition include a free level of online music collaboration that allows users to post songs and join and record in collaborations. There is also be a paid level, called a Creator Membership, that includes additional features, like the ability to "create" a new collaboration, for $10/mo. or $60/yr. Every RiffWorks Standard and Line 6 Edition owner receives a 60-day free trial of the Creator Membership.
