    Posted this in music prod but seems to be a very guitarist-centric resource. Looks quite tasty - pair it with a cheap ass interface (like this) and for the price of a cheap pedal you've given someone with even a very basic computer an intuitive environment that far surpasses a fourtrack w/multieffects.

    Sonoma’s RiffWorks has been one software entry trying to change that, by combining guitar-centric features (amps and effects) with loops, multi-track recording, and collaboration features. As with GarageBand and Steinberg’s Sequel, loops, machines, and effects assist in quick song creation. But unlike those products, Sonoma also emphasizes collaboration, and is targeted directly at guitarists.

    Now, they’ve introduced a free version of the software called RiffWorks T4. While it’s free, it does quite a lot – presumably to try to get hooked on online collaboration on song making.

    * 4-layer song production
    * Basic effects (Wah, Multi-band Compression & Distortion, Modulation, Delay, Reverb, Compression, and British Style EQ), plus IK Multimedia’s AmpliTube LE guitar amp/effects and Gallo Engineering’s Studio Devil BVC amp model
    * An “InstantDrummer” drum machine/accompaniment tool with intensity, variation
    * Online collaboration and online song sharing community

    I took it for a whirl there recently - very pleasantly suprised. I use ableton/audacity mainly and I had preconceptions about this being all GUI and no internals. If it had proper VST support it would be superb, but its a nice concept nicely executed and...

    IT'S FREE :D
