Bards on CD

Fun stuff today. Really fun. We are going to talk about Sonoma Wire Works new free trial of riffworks that is fully functional. They call it Riffworks T4. I can not describe to you how much fun this little piece of software is. If you have a soundcard worth its salt, T4 should let you record directly into a "riff" based multi-track system. Add in a drumtrack that granted is simplistic but fairly versatile, and then you have all of the realtime effects. Amp modeling, Phase shifting, compression, multi-tap delay, graphic EQ, wah pedal, did I mention this all free?? So here is the obligatory link T4. Do yourself a favor if you want to sketch down some quick song ideas before they get away T4 seems to me to be a great little ninja music sketchpad. You'll be amazed how quickly three simple riffs can be organized into follow track for more serious recording or just getting the ideas in song format. I've read it will integrate with Cubase but haven't seen it first hand. It also has a very odd interface homage to an old Amiga program called Perfect Sound so for those twelve of us out there who still say "You can have my Amiga's from my cold dead hands" its fun. If you get something great and want to share it with the world feel free to email me, I would love to link to it so readers can hear what T4 does.
