From the Sonoma Wire Works website: “Jam Online with Other Musicians!
RiffLink offers RiffWorks users built-in online collaboration. Share a song session over the internet with up to 4 other musicians and chat while you’re at it. Riff recording allows musicians to play along with each other in what feels like real-time with no worries about latency. 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 is also saved on the server for those who wish to contribute later. “
For owners of Riffworks (v2), the best guitar recording software created to date in my humble opinion, a guitarist can collaborate with fellow musicians via the internet. HOW COOL IS THAT???????
When I first heard about it my first thought was, “yeah right!” I’ve been a computer geek since before the term ‘computer geek’ was fashioned. I’ve seen and read a lot of promises about pie-in-the-sky software applications that soon had folks running around yelling, “The pie-in-the-sky is falling.” Well this is no pie-in-the-sky! This is great. It is still in beta so there are some snafus. But all in all it is great. Did I mention it was great? Some of the really gutsy RiffWorks guys jumped on this out the gate and coined the term “Rifflink Junkies” and rightfully so because once you start it is doubtful that you will want to stop.
After my first attempt, I am hooked - totally. It is difficult to describe but it is like being able to jam with some very accomplished musicians without having to move all the living room furniture out into the yard to make room for all the gear. The drummer rarely complains and has impeccable timing.
Don’t take my word for it – check out some of these collaborations. And if you are a guitarist, you owe it to yourself to purchase RiffWorks Standard.
