- Sonoma Wire Works has broken new ground in online music collaboration technology with RiffWorks and RiffWorld.com -

LOS ALTOS, Calif., Jan. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonoma Wire Works(TM) is honored that RiffWorks(TM) recording software won a Best in Show Trendsetter award at the winter NAMM Show 2008, the largest music products trade show in the United States. RiffWorks was chosen as one of the "hottest" products because of its simple and effective recording interface, online music collaboration capabilities and new social networking site, RiffWorld.com.

An accomplished guitar player, Alan Friedman, selected RiffWorks because he wants to collaborate online with his musician friends and RiffWorks is the perfect solution. He said, "As a musician and CPA to the music industry, I have the honor to be on a new product selection panel called 'Best in Show' that happens at every NAMM Trade Show. During my recent search for 5 of my favorite cool new products unveiled at the 2008 Winter NAMM Show, I discovered 'RiffWorks' by pure luck and was totally blown away. RiffWorks' ability to easily and intuitively collaborate with other fellow musicians 3,000+ miles away in real time has given me a brand new avenue for musical creativity. That's why RiffWorks was a 'no-brainer' for one of my all-time favorite Best in Show picks. Rock on, RiffWorks!"
