RiffWorks Standard Version 2 Released
Even with little fan fare and no newsletter emailed to me 
(I am a subscriber), I still managed to find out that Sonama WireWorks has Riffworks Standard v2 ready for purchase. They did put together a limited FAQ about how to crossgrade from version 1.1.
The website has some much needed navigation improvements including a link to RiffCaster, Forums and the new Online Store at the top of each page. However, you do lose this navigation once you go to the FAQ.
The jury is still out on a couple of concerns:
1. Posting songs requires RiffWorks (v2). It appears that you can only post songs now via the RiffWorks software.
- Pros: You no longer have to email HUGE ogg files.
- Cons: If this is the case, you will no longer be able to mix your creation using a 3rd party tool like Audacity or Audition.
2. Drummers.
- Pros: Lots of new drummers available.
- Cons: Drummers purchased from Line 6 for v1 will not work in v2, until you participate in some cryptic ceremony with Sonoma.
If you crossgrade to the new standard version or upgrade to the Line 6 v2 (once it is available), let me know what you think.

Dave, hate to hear about how bad things are, with a new bigger/better computer and new Fender Strat and all.
I understand your pain. I recently lost my 2 ton 17 inch monitor that took up half of my desk and HAD to replace it with a 19 inch wide LCD.
As far as Sonoma goes, I have been reading the forums, but have not had time to “crossgrade” yet. I am looking forward to getting my hands on it. With my current schedule, it will probably be September before I get a chance to do anything with it. Great to hear from you.
I will be moving all of this to http://bluesydude.com very soon. I am putting the finishing touches on it now.
