OTHER ARTISTS WHO ENDORSE & USE RIFFWORKS

Todd Rundgren says in Guitar Player Magazine Oct. 2008: "All I needed aside from the tools I was used to using (Propellerheads Reason Version 4, Line 6 GearBox, and Line 6 TonePort, which was my audio interface for guitar and voice) was something that would allow me to record samples. I used RiffWorks, which allows you to specify a loop in Reason that'll play over and over, and essentially just keep recording takes using the Reason file as background. Then I would clean them up with Audacity."
