RiffWorks, Sonoma Wire Works' inspiration tool with a focus on "playing, not engineering", has recently been updated to version 2.1, adding a walkthrough tutorial in 10 languages, better opening and loading collaborations, online collaboration drum sharing and more. Full details below.

RiffWorks allows users to capture their musical ideas and make them into complete songs using a familiar "real-world" interface. According to the developer "it looks like gear." To give you an idea of how this software works, looped guitar tracks with professional drum loops and effects are instantly recorded as layers, while features such as a unique InstantDrummer, 7 effects plus AmpliTube 2 Live, and RiffWorks' community services make this app a great recording platform.

New in version 2.1 is a "Quick Start" walkthrough tutorial in English, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish. Also added in the latest release is improved InstantDrummer panel for easier viewing, boosted performance for opening and loading collaborations while collaborators hear each other's InstantDrummer Sessions.

Overall, stability has been improved. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg, as far as new additions are concerned. RiffWorks also saves the Hardware Monitoring state, Input Effects settings and VST plug-in selection and settings when closing and loads them when opening. Another highlight is that "Native Instruments Guitar Rig" is now supported.

Both Sonoma Wire Works' Standard & Line 6 Edition of RiffWorks have been updated for Mac and Windows users and you can grab the free trial version of the software right HERE for your Mac.

Requirements call for a G4 1.33GHz (Intel CoreDuo or G5 1.8GHz recommended), 512MB of RAM (1GB recommended), 1GB of free disk space for installation, 5 GB of free disk space for recording, an internet connection if you plan on using RiffCaster and, of course, an ASIO or Core Audio input device.
