Yeah I'm using the 'Farm with Riffworks and I love it. There are some features that I miss that weren't carried over from Gearbox - mainly the integrated mp3 player. but Pod Farm more than makes up for it with the dual tone functionality.

As far as tips, here's the only one I could think of off the top of my head. Set up some dual tone patches using two of your favorite amp models. Pan them left and right till they sound good. Now when you record in Riffworks, it's like you recorded two different guitar parts with two different patches, but you only had to play it one time. Neato torpedo!

Just curious, when you use dual tones from POD Farm in Riffworks, do they both go into the same track while recording or do you get 2 tracks?

Will this work with the free version of Riffworks also?

Both go in the same track........ amp Left will stay panned left and amp Right will stay panned right. In the mixer section of Pod Farm, when you have a dual tone selected, make sure you have (mix Tone 1 and Tone 2) selected or you will only have Tone 1 on your recording.

Yes it (dual tones) should work with T4 (free version) of Riffworks.

I own podfarm, but I dont use it cause I have an X3. they really need to make podfarm a tone editor for the x3.
