Sonoma Wire Works' RiffWorks Standard v2 - 9 out of 10
"RiffWorks installation takes around 30 seconds, and although instructions are provided, you probably won't need them...just start up RiffWorks, plug in and play. Verdict: Extremely easy to use, highly productive, good effects and useful backup section."

RiffWorks - A New Way to Meld Guitar Playing with Your Computer
"The RiffWorks user interface is well designed and very detailed. I found RiffWorks to be appealing and simple to navigate. One of the most gratifying features of RiffWorks is the diversity and quality of drum loops available."

RiffWorks Standard 2
"Guitarists have traditionally shied away from loopbased recording, believing it to be more suitable to electronica and hip hop genres than to styles more commonly associated with the guitar. However, with more and more musicians turning to the digital realm for inspiration, even the most thick-skinned guitarists are beginning to use elements of loopbased music in their compositions."

RiffWorks Eases Mac Song Creation
"One company has taken a new approach to helping musicians create music and, in the short time Iive been using it, I have found that it really works for me. With the release of RiffWorks 2, Sonoma Wire Works has changed the way I think about building a song."
