Rifftracker License Key... 11-11-04

The RiffWorks license is keyed to the hardware, but will be transferable between supported hardware (GuitarPort, PODxt, XT Pro, XT Live).

Why are the advantages of doing this type of hardware keyed license? Like with GuitarPort, it means you can install the software on as many computers as you want (at home, at a friend's house, at the office) and you will always have your assets (Model Packs, drummers, etc.) available, not matter which computer you connect to, because they're tied to your individual hardware, not restricted to a single computer. This means that you can start work on a song in one place, take the files to another and you'll have the same capabilities available, even if your friend didn't purchase the same packs or drummers.

RiffWorks licenses will be transferable from one unit to another via Monkey in the same way that Model Packs will be (the programming elves are hard at work on getting that implemented and tested even as we speak).

"Hello everyone,

Do you own a GuitarPort, PODxt, PODxt Live, or PODxt Pro? Do you long for a way to quickly and easily capture your musical ideas and flesh them out with killer organic drum grooves? Line 6 has come to the rescue with GuitarPort RiffTracker – the new recording setup built around your PODxt or GuitarPort! It’s available online so you can start recording easily right now!

Mark McCrite
Product Line Manager
POD & GuitarPort

Once you've completed the install, you can grab separate installers for:
- More Free InstantDrummer Sessions
- The Alternate Resolution RiffWorks Graphics
- The multi-track version of the Demo Song

FYI: RiffWorks is the software. RiffTracker is the retail bundle of a GuitarPort and RiffWorks.

You can download it for free and use it in demo mode, but purchasing the app adds the ability to record and mix.


Or users with very high bandwidth connections can opt to instead download the Full CD version of the GuitarPort + RiffWorks installer to get all this stuff in one large package.

Go get it!!!


It's true that running GuitarPort software with a PODxt requires less RAM than with GuitarPort hardware because GuitarPort does the signal processing in the computer and PODxt does it in the hardware. However, most of that 384 memory requirement (512 recommended) is the result of the RiffWorks app itself - not the GuitarPort component.

I can't quantify that difference offhand, but I can definitely tell you that the whole system is much happier when you've got RAM to spare. You are welcome to try it out and see what happens, but if you have less than the minimum recommendation, we can't offer support if you do run into performance problems.

New Guitarport Rifftracker pressrelease... 29-10-04*

LINE 6 ANNOUNCES RIFFTRACKER RECORDING PACKAGE

--Complete guitarist-based hardware and software recording rig --

It consists of GuitarPort hardware, which connects a guitar to a PC, GuitarPort software that provides a complete amp, stomp box and effects tone rig, and RiffWorks™ recording software by Sonoma Wire Works.GuitarPort RiffTracker is focused on guitarists who want to play and record their guitar. Because it’s a complete hardware/software solution, no complex system configuration is necessary. 

GuitarPort RiffTracker includes the award-winning GuitarPort hardware.  A laptop or desktop computer powers this guitar-focused USB recording interface, and contains all of the connections needed to track guitar and monitor the results using speakers or headphones.  Its accompanying GuitarPort software provides a complete amp, stompbox and effects rig based on the professional studio-standard for guitar recording, PODxt.Included in the RiffTracker package is the recording software, RiffWorks, developed by Sonoma Wire Works. Seamlessly integrated with the GuitarPort hardware and software, RiffWorks is a unique and easy way to capture guitar-based ideas. 

Exclusive features in the Riff Recorder enable users to set a tempo and start recording from their guitar.  It also creates tracks automatically while recording so a guitarist tracking a solo can record multiple takes or layer parts without a pause.  “GuitarPort RiffTracker has everything you need to start recording great guitar-based songs,” says Mark McCrite, Product Line Manager, Line 6.  “Thanks to the combination of GuitarPort’s record-ready tone, and RiffWorks intuitive recording interface, guitarists now have a simple, pro-quality setup that leaves them free to concentrate on the music instead of the technical details.”       

Also included in the RiffWorks software is the exclusive InstantDrummer™ feature, for uniquely easy "live" drum tracks. Users pick a groove, count off a tempo, and InstantDrummer™ immediately begins to play a continuously varying drum track and fills using perfectly matched, full kit studio drum recording. InstantDrummer allows users to select from a variety of Drummer Sessions created by Drums on Demand and Sonoma Wire Works.  Users can easily dial in different amounts of variation, intensity, and ambience. 

Other RiffWorks’ features include the ability to open loop files in the REX and REX2 format, and apply up to 7 studio-quality effects per recorded track. Final songs can be mixed as WAV files, suitable for burning to CD or converting to MP3 files.  In addition, RiffWorks acts as a ReWire mixer application and can synchronize with Reason, Live, Project 5 and other ReWire synth applications.
