Welcome to RiffWorld.com™, an online music collaboration community for RiffWorks™ users. RiffWorks easy-to-use recording software includes automatic track creation, loop recording, guitar-oriented effects, InstantDrummer, professionally recorded drum tracks, online music collaboration, and instant song posting. RiffWorld.com rolls it all into a friendly online community.

Create

RiffWorks, by Sonoma Wire Works, will change the way you record and write songs. Record efficiently, stay creative, produce high-quality songs, post songs, and collaborate online without ever putting down your guitar.

RiffWorks has an exclusive Riff-based workflow, where looped guitar tracks with professional drum loops and effects are instantly recorded as layers. The RiffWorks interface looks like gear, not like a complicated DAW. It’s fun and productive because the focus is on playing, not engineering.

Collab

In RiffWorks, four musicians can collaborate on a song simultaneously. As a Riff layer is recorded, it instantly streams to other players. As the Riff loops, others can add layers to the Riff without latency or distance issues.

All contributions are saved on RiffWorld.com and can be opened later (in RiffWorks) to continue recording. Musicians worldwide are creating songs together online no matter how far apart they live or what time zone they are in!

Browse collabs that can be opened and contributed to from within RiffWorks.
Listen to collabs that have been 'casted.

Online collaboration requires RiffWorks v2.1.1 (Standard or Line 6 Edition) and a reliable broadband internet connection (DSL, cable, etc.)

“I tell my friends I have a pro-studio that’s open 24-7 and I can sit in on any session, any time the creative urge strikes, with musicians whose skills take a back seat to no one. I can ask any one of them to throw down a track or two. If I have just the start of an idea, they help complete it in ways I would have never imagined.”
