Riff Tracker to GearBox connection.

So I bought Guitar Port with Riff Works.  As it turned out, there was no way to download Riff Works or any directions how to do so.  So I just dropped $130 and bought something I had already purchased.  You know maybe this time it will work.  Riff Works downloaded, yet asked for some Sonoma code I was never given.  I am not sure this even matters.  But the kicker is, it doesn't automatically connect to Gear Box.  Is this some kind of joke.  I mean seriously, this is embezzlement.  I must be missing something very simple here; I would like to know.  I would like to also know how to get my 130 dollars back and have this work anyway, as it was originally intended and as I had originally purchased.  I literally feel like I have been robbed.

    Re: RE: Riff Tracker to GearBox connection.

    I've answered similar questions to yours in the past; there's a bit of complexity I should try and clarify.

     

    1. Line 6 (us) are the manufacturers of the GuitarPort USB audio interface (hardware). In the past, we had a licensing scheme in place with another company named Sonoma Wire Works who are the software engineers of the Riffworks recording program.

     

    2. In the mid-2000's there was Riffworks and then Riffworks 2 Line 6 Edition. These software programs were compatible all the way up to Windows Vista operating systems.

     

    3. Now, in 2011 with the advent of Windows 7 and Mac OSX 10.6.x, those two aforementioned versions of Riffworks no longer install and run on the latest computer OS's. As a result, users now have to upgrade to Sonoma Wire Works' latest standalone version of Riffworks: Riffworks Standard 2.5 (which I believe is what you ended up doing).

     

    There are instructions available for installing and getting the program (license) setup correctly here: http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-1622

     

    After you finish those steps, you should be able to go into Riffworks' Audio Settings and select the ASIO GuitarPort as the audio I/O option.

     

    If you have GearBox 3.72 up and running, whatever amp/effect settings you have should stream into their recording software virtually...

     

    Hope this info helps!
