ABOUT RIFFWORKS
RiffWorks makes recording fun! Real-time effects help create just the right tone, and the included InstantDrummer&trade offers authentic drummer back-up recordings and the ability to dial in the right amount of intensity and variation.
RiffWorks is an inspiration platform...not an editing platform. There are no wave editors and sequencers in RiffWorks. Instead the interface inspires people to write songs using a familiar "real-world" interface - it looks like gear! The focus is on playing, not engineering.
With RiffWorks, recording musicians can keep their hands on their instrument and minds on their song, rather than on a computer. RiffWorks requires minimal set-up time with no need to continually refer to a manual. Also RiffWorks is the only program available with a feature that lets you set the tempo simply by strumming your guitar.
Using an intuitive backups interface, musicians can select one of the many authentic backup InstantDrummer sessions that were recorded live by professional drummers in high-end sound studios by recording engineers. Most recording applications require drum programming or searching through endless folders of drum loops with confusing names. If preferred, users can import drum tracks from a ReWire application into RiffWorks. Or they may choose to use RiffWorks' unique InstantDrummer to select a sweet-sounding drummer from the best drum companies (Drums on Demand, Discrete Drums and Submersible Music). These drummers are normally available within large libraries that cost hundreds of dollars. Our partners are offering their drum content to RiffWorks users in smaller pieces that are convenient and affordable, only $9.99/session.
