RIFFWORKS

Riff-based Workflow: Record a complete song in bite-sized pieces (Riffs). This unique and fun way to record facilitates experimentation with song structure. Each Riff can include different backups, effects, tempos, lengths, and layers.

Automatic Track Creation & Loop Recording: A new layer is created each time you start recording as well as each time a Riff loops. Stack layers on top of each other (bass, guitar, vocals) to create a full Riff sound. Use this looping feature to quickly double up your tracks, do multiple takes, etc. Each layer has several controls for mixing and applying effects.

InstantDrummer provides great sounding, tempo-synchronized backup drum recordings with adjustable intensity, variation and tempo - no need for tedious drum-machine programming. 9 InstantDrummer Sessions are included with RiffWorks Standard, and more are available.

REX Player: Record along with tempo synchronized backup loop files (REX and RX2).

ReWire Mixer: Use RiffWorks simultaneously with programs like Reason, Ableton Live and more.

Metronome: Use for lead-in, while recording, for a simple beat, or to add extra flavor in addition to the drummer.

7 Studio-Quality Effects can be added to Layers, Riffs, InstantDrummer sessions, and the Input.

RiffCast - Broadcast songs instantly to RiffWorld.com with a single click on the RiffCast button in RiffWorks.

RiffLink & RiffWorld.com RiffLink online collaboration is built into RiffWorks. Four musicians can collaborate on a song simultaneously. Musicians worldwide are creating songs together online no matter how far apart they live or what time zone they are in! Collaboration feature list below.

Guitar Amp and Effects Plug-in Support for amp plug-ins such as IK's AmpliTube 2 Live (included with RiffWorks Standard), AmpliTube 2, and Line 6 GearBox can be activated, heard, and recorded while playing your instrument through RiffWorks.

Song Layer: Record straight linear tracks, or layers, over a complete song. This is especially useful for recording solos and vocals.

Junt: Set the tempo and start recording by simply playing your guitar or singing. Junt has a proprietary tempo detection algorithm that allows you to focus on your internal groove.

Riff Gain: Master gain control for each riff.

Riff Effects: Apply an effects chain on the Riff as a whole in addition to each layer.

Backup Effects: Apply a complete effects chain for each backup module including InstantDrummer (plus ReWire and REX player).
