Record & Mix

Guitar-Optimized Recording

The unique Riff Recorder lets you set tempo and even start recording from your guitar so you never have to put it down. It will even automatically create tracks as you play — so you can record multiple takes or layer parts without a pause.

Mix Effects

The 7 mix effects per track are great for sweetening up the sound of most anything you might record with the GuitarPort hardware, even bass or a keyboard. And just like the virtual guitar rig, the included mixing effects are easy to operate. So you get great studio quality sounds without the typical computer studio complication.

The Riff List holds the ideas you’ve recorded. Double-click a Riff in the list to open it for more recording, or to fine-tune your mix. Drag Riffs to the Song bar to string them together. Then MIX a file to disk, and burn it with your CD software!
