Lamenace Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Latest Version : V1.6.3.0 Edited February 12, 2019 by Onovoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.r Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Is downloading the app enough "to future-proof", or do I have to install/register/anything sort of thing? I will be buying new PC but doubt it will happen before 15 March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Walton Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Very helpful for picking out chord progressions very quickly. I listen to a lot of music where sheet music isn't avaialbe and have found this great when I don't have time to work things out. A real time saver. Sad they are getting rid of it. Curious what the next product will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abacab Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Riffstation is a handy tool, and well worth the price. Grab it before is is gone! I had originally purchased the paid version, but grabbed this one as soon as it was released as freeware. No serial required! It should continue to function, as is until ...

Fleer Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Same here, bought the paid one. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettelus Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Even (especially) if you have the paid version, get this release. When I got this machine last year, I had issues getting my serial to take for authorization (customer support was still alive then, so got it resolved). I am assuming that this download going away also means that the registration servers will go offline. This free version is unlocked and may be the only way to re-install RiffStation in the future. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo Nafta Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) I know I'm late for this discussion, but I've started to suspect they dumbed down the chord recognition for the last version 1.6.3. Especially recognizing between major and minor chords is worse in 1.6.3 than it was in version 1.5. I've checked out a few songs that had the right chords in version 1.5 but version 1.6.3 displays some simple minor chords as major chords. One well known example: Blinding Lights by The Weeknd. Version 1.5 displayed the first chord as Fm, version 1.6.3. says it's F. I'd definitely go back to version 1.5 but of course I can not activate it anymore. I only found out about closing the activation servers a few days ago when for some reason my Riffstation installation started asking for me to activate it again - which obviously didn't work. Oh well... since they sort of had to give away the last "future proof" version for free to everyone, maybe they stripped away some if its skills to sell them again as something else in the future.

Robbo Nafta Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Yes the download link is still active. Version 1.6.3 downloads and installs just fine. It's just that I have doubts about the results it gives compared to version 1.5 - which is useless since the activation servers have closed.

mettelus Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 People are going to see this thread pop up and not realize it was March 15th LAST YEAR (2019). The cert expiring certainly doesn't surprise me, since that costs more money by far than keeping the site alive; but you are not logging in or sending any information to the site other than a download request IIRC. Being able to still download it is a good reminder for those who missed it first go-round. As for one-off songs that fail Riffstation analytics, it is pretty accurate and has a nice set of features useful to anyone wanting to dissect music (audio microscope, tempo manipulation, etc.). I personally have experienced dozens of situations where Melodyne has fallen flat on its face, and I paid a lot more for Melodyne than Riffstation (I *think* I got Riffstation when it was around 20USD). 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
