Hey Nick,
To be honest with you Riffworks / Rifftracker isn't ideal. I got a free copy with a Guitar Port I bought
and wasn't impressed with it. Basically it just uses a series of drum loops, yeah its great
for the first few days cause you are jamming away with a virtual drummer but the novelty
wears off in no time. If you are comfortable with what you have I would stick with it.
There are also alternatives like Cubase SX with Grooveagent?. Grooveagent is ***hot - has numerous
styles of drum loops right back to the 1950's etc. I think Line 6 really rushed Rifftracker.
Hope this helps in some way....
Regards,
Barry
Forgot to mention as far as recording goes its a bit crap too. I have a Pentuim D 3.4Ghz processor
with 3GB of ram and the software was constantly crashing and took ages to start etc. Riffworks is a
useful tool for beginner PC recording enthusiasts that basically want to record Guitar, Bass tracks etc.
Its not something that you can keep for life nor would I be trying to record demos on it.
Invest that money on a decent sequencer, Cubase, Pro Tools, Albeton Live etc, which you can expand
over time.
Barry.
