There’s a really cool guitar recording application called Riffworks. It’s been available for a while on PC, I bought it a couple of years ago, and I’ve had a lot of fun using it. Infact, as far as I’m concerned, there’s no better Guirtar recording tool available. When I switched to the Mac I was a little dismayed to find that there wasn’t a Mac version. Then I discovered that Riffworks version 2 was in development for the PC and Mac. Not only that, but they were looking for Beta testers for both versions, and were happy to have me on board.

Over the course of a few months I watched the software develop from it’s buggy Mac beta code into a wonderful sequel to the PC original. It remains my favourite guitar recording software. Yesterday I received an email from Randy at Sonoma Wireworks to let me know that, as a thank you for being one of their beta testers, they’d just given me everything in their online store, absolutely free. That’s worth over ?Ǭ

So I was aimlessly surfing this morning, killing time and I wondered what Davie Brockett, an acquaintance of mine from the days when I changed guitars with the weather, was up to. I got to know him through Sound Control, the guitar store in which he worked, always cutting me killer deals. Turns out after his stint in Japan he’s now guitarist in Gary Mullen and the Works. They’re currently touring One Night of Queen. Looks like significant crowds too. Well done Davie.
