Sonoma Wire Works is a company, based in Los Altos, California, and incorporated in 2003, that develops audio software and hardware.
Three audio engineers (Doug Wright, Daniel Walton, and David Tremblay), who worked in the audio industry for over 20 years combined, wanted to create an easy and fun recording application for guitarists.
The result of their work was RiffWorks guitar recording software with built-in InstantDrummer, effects, online collaboration, song posting, and more.
Hayden Bursk joined the development team after graduating from the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University.
In 2004, Sonoma Wire Works launched their first product, RiffWorks recording software for Mac and Windows, which is designed for use by guitar players.
