In this video, we will look at Positive Grid's RIFF Audio Interface, and how easy it is to use.
We will learn how to connect it to both an iOS device as well as a PC, as well as how to use BIAS FX 2 (which comes with it) with RIFF.
The awesome thing about the Riff is that it's easy to work with, it doesn't require any "deep" learning, it's literally plug and play (although there are many customizations for those who enjoy digging in further).
Simple, sturdy and sonically incredible, the RIFF is a great way to practice and record, no matter where you are!

I’ve been using Riff and BiasFX 2 on my iPad with headphones for awhile now. It is an amazing app and has so many possibility and combinations. And with headphones on, it has an amazing stereo surround sound that is huge, can make it sound like you are in a concert hall. Great for not disturbing the family, traveling, or for trying new amps and pedal sounds.
Hi Steve. Thanks for the video! Just a quick question about the output audio. How come you are using the headphone jack instead of the 1/4" output jack already built into the RIFF?
Cool product and demo. Price seems really nice too.
Very helpful. Thank you!
Hi! My pleasure! Thanks for the comment!
Buying this.
Thanks, Steve! I’ve been interested in learning this for some time now!
Are you saying the tiny headphone out you can run into a large headphone plug with an adapter?
Yeah. It's 1/8'' headphone out and with an adapter you can use it with a regular 1/4" input.
is this better than focus rite?
Never mind.. I figured it out. I have the wet signal coming through👍
I'd like to see a tutorial with it used with Logic X
Hi. Thanks for commenting. Haven't tried it with Logic pro because I don't use that software. Have you tried looking in forums or other YT videos?
Thanks for the great review.
So there's a looper in this less expensive device but they can't put one in the Spark software, right? Doesn't seem right to me. I also wish there were a way to add more devices to the chain like a equalizer AND a tremolo or an autowah and a fuzz. Or even a splitter like the RIFF has. Great opportunities being missed by Positive Grid.
I shouldn't complain as I use my Mini on stage with a headphone to 1/4" cord and the Control footswitch. I just got the Go and use it with a very short 1/4 to 1/4 plug hanging the Go off the bottom strap lock. Pretty cool for great tones at home and busking. Surprising volume and tone from that little GO.
Hi. So glad you liked the video. Thanks so much for your comment and feedback. Keep up the great work!
I don't buy apple products can it be used on android phones, tablets ? I know it'll work in a pc but other stuff is the decider for me
Thanks Steve. what size ipad are you using? Is that the iPad Pro? I had a lot of problems plugging the riff into my HP PC. I just bought an iPad today. I wil let know know if I have problems there too.
Hi. I believe it's the 12.9 inch. Hope it works out for you and doesn't give you too much trouble. Good luck with that.
Hi, would like to know what are you outputting to and how wired or wireless. Thank you
Hi Jesse! Wired. Headphone out into the ipad.
Hi, i see you are using studio One. It works even with Studio One Artist? Usually this version doesn't allow 3rd VST, or you are using a pro version of SO? Thanks
Hi. Thanks for commenting. The Studio One Version I have is the Professional. You might want to check with Presonus and see what they say. I guess you could use it as an interface to connect the guitar but I'm not 100% sure about the 3rd party VST's. Hope this helps.
Hey! Great video .. my question is where are you getting the sound from? Is it coming out of the iPad or is the iPad connected to a additional speaker ?
Hey! The interface is connected to the ipad and the sound comes from the headphones out of the interface to the guitar amp. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for commenting.
@@stinemusiclessons thank you for the response ! Last question.. would you happen to know if you can run the Spark foot switch or Airstep foot switch with Bias FX 2 ?
Hey! Yes I believe the Spark footswitch works. I think I saw that on the Bias FX website. Maybe you can double check just in case but I believe it does work. 👍
@@stinemusiclessons awesome thank you ! Final question … I currently have a Spark 40 & just pre ordered the matching cab.. going to order Riff interface & bias FX 2 once that comes in. How would I go about setting it up to get the sound from the matching cab?
How do I import my Bias FX 2 into my Studio one program??
Hi. Here's a link from Positive Grid on how to use the Bias FX as a VST in Studio One. However there are some limitations on using 3rd party plugins depending on your version of Studio One. Hope this helps.
help.positivegrid.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024494452-How-to-Find-Record-with-BIAS-FX-2-in-Studio-One-
can you use it with a mic if you want to add a vocal track ?
Hi. Haven't tried it with a mic. Usually mics have a lower signal level so since this is designed for guitar I'm not sure it will work the same way. Maybe checking out some blogs or groups on the subject might help. Thanks for commenting! 👍
Is it possible to use with an apogee duet?
Hi. I guess you can if you just use it as an interface but since I don't have apogee you might want to check with Positive Grid. Thanks for commenting!
My iPad still has mic on when recording so picks up crappy when using the riff, as it's recording my guitar and what's going on in the room, (new to iPad pro mkii never had one before) what am I doing wrong in set up process, sounds bloody awful
Hi. It's probably something with the general setup on the ipad. Try to disable the internal mic so that it only gets the signal from the line.
@stinemusiclessons
Thank you I'll check that out later looking forward
Wait so the sound will come out of your Ipad?? (Unless you put it through a separate output of course)
Hi Jules! Headphone out to an amp. The ipad is so that we can use the software.
@@stinemusiclessons thank you very much!
So I could essentially run the headphone out of riff to headphone Jack on my spark?
@@jimmikus3089 Well headphone jack is usually an output so I believe the correct way would be from headphone out of riff to any input jack of the amp. Hope this helps.
@@stinemusiclessons thanks Steve! Duh…I should have known that. Lol keep up the great work sir!
Positive Grid, why USB Micro not USB C?
Dont get BIAS products if you use Apple M-Series processors. It just crashes. I have had BIAS products since 2016. On intel it was fine. Now I cant use the standalone version or the plugin. I am media and IT professional, so I have done my due diligence. I was in contact with the BIAS support. This is truly some POS software. And it doesn't look like Im getting my money back. 100€ for absolutely nothing. Lovely.
Wow Roman! Sorry to hear that. Hope you get the issue solved. They have worked pretty well for me so I can't complain but I truly hope you get some positive response. Good luck!
BIAS FX2 works fine on my M1 MacBook Pro and M1 iMac. Has never crashed once and I use it all the time
So you have to spend bucks on software to use this POS? I have a windows laptop and can't do a damn thing with it. So frustrating, I bought something that needs more software purchases to actually use. Garbage.
Hi. Thanks for your comment and feedback. Sorry you're experience with this wasn't what you expected.
If you're a PC and Android user, just pass on this. This is an Apple toy.
Hi. Thanks for the comment and feedback. 👍
So I assume this is only gonna work or work best on an apple phone/computer?
@@brickmeister2128It works on PCs as well, plugs in using a regular USB cable which is included
I use it with my pc laptop. It works fine.
