RiffBook Description

RiffBook is a computer "notebook" for music where you can quickly record audio

RiffBook is a computer "notebook" for music where you can quickly record audio, video, transcriptions, tablature, and text notes and keep everything together in one organized place. The best part is that RiffBook has powerful searching and browsing features so that you can find your riffs later!

Use your computer's built-in microphone to capture audio, or use the built-in iSight camera to record videos showing exactly how you are playing the riff. Enter transcriptions by dragging and dropping notes onto the staff. Index the riff for later searching by choosing characteristics such as genre, mood, chord progression, and keywords.

RiffBook is not a high-end recording/sequencing program like Logic Pro or ProTools. RiffBook is intended to be a quick and easy way of capturing your ideas. It's simple and it's efficient. Capturing audio from your computer's built-in microphone generally serves its purpose. We're not talking about production-quality music here; we're talking about quickly capturing the idea before you forget it. There's no complex setup involved. There are no complex editing commands to learn. If you don't like what you've played, just record it again.

RiffBook is not a high-end transcription program like Sibelius or Finale. If you want to write a score for a symphony, some of the dedicated notation programs will suit your needs better. Instead, RiffBook gives you streamlined tools to quickly jot down your ideas in transcription or tablature format.

RiffBook Professional is not a video editing program like FinalCut Pro. RiffBook Professional gives the ability to capture video from your built-in iSight camera to capture how you perform your riff much like an instructional video would do. Much like recording audio with RiffBook, there are no complex editing commands, just "record" and "stop." It's that simple. If you are looking to create more complex presentation-quality videos, a dedicated video editing program will suit your needs better. If you just want to capture something quick so you'll remember how to play what you just created, then RiffBook will work well for you.

RiffBook is not a database. RiffBook has a lot of features that resemble a database, and for most purposes you may think of RiffBook as being a database. But instead of storing all of your data in one big database file, RiffBook saves your data in separate files. There is no danger of one big proprietary database file becoming corrupt and suddenly losing all of your work just because one file went bad on you. The audio and video files are stored in standard formats that can be opened in other programs. When you use RiffBook, your work is safe and future-proof!
