--Hear what it can do!
I've been using Riff Works by Sonoma WireWorks for 5 years now. It's "Riff" based recording is very intuitive to musicians and allows you to create and edit quickly and with ease!
My standard workflow now involves recording initial guitar parts in RiffWorks, either to a metronome or to a built in Instant Drummer track. Once all the parts are recorded (Intro/Verse/Chorus/Bridge etc), I use the powerful arranging features in RiffWorks to "move" parts of the song around, rearranging on the fly until I have a solid song structure. I could finish everything in RiffWorks, really, so it is powerful enough to use from start to finish, but I do find the that mixing and adding mastering effects can be tedious in RiffWorks, but it is completely doable. Since I want to have a little more control over my mix, at this point I export all the wave files and can build the song out in Reaper or most any other DAW, to take advantage of a better workflow for mixing than what RiffWorks offers.
Although I tend to complete my projects outside of RiffWorks, the software as a stand-alone, can land musicians a radio-ready hit! Just listen to 10 of 73 songs above, any 10, and tell me you don't hear at least one spectacular piece of work!
Peace!
