Tag songs made with RiffWorks with #riffworld and #riffworks for a chance to be featured on this page. From 2005-2015 musicians worldwide used the RiffCast feature within RiffWorks guitar recording software to post songs online. RiffWorld.com was launched in 2008. Currently RiffCasting, RiffLink and RiffWorld.com are offline, but RiffWorks recording, InstantDrummers, and effects features are great. Sonoma can't make any promises, but hopefully RiffLink and RiffWorld, or something better, will be made available again for collaboration and song posting, RiffRumble song contests and more. Sharing your RiffWorks files, and using SoundCloud to post songs is a great alternative. We are looking forward to hearing your songs!
