| What is RiyazStudio? |
RiyazStudio combines tanpura and tabla machines in a
responsive and easy-to-use PC-based practice environment for North Indian
classical music. RiyazStudio uses real tabla loops - 150 of them - in contrast
to often mechanical sounding tabla machines that set individual tabla bols
at rigidly set intervals. Whatever pitch you sing or play at you'll have
a choice of different tabla tunings in the main talas. You can even adjust
the tabla style without changing speed.
 Practising with RiyazStudio is
the ideal preparation to performing with live tabla accompaniment - first
because it gives the aural cues that real tabla players provide - but even
more because the organic feel of the tabla loops encourages rhythmic play
and helps develop your improvisational skills.
"And
to think, an electronic shruti box and an electronic tabla would cost me
hundreds of dollars, and they wouldn't sound as good"

| How can I get RiyazStudio? |
The easiest way to get RiyazStudio is to
download it from this website
and buy a registration key. If you prefer (say
if your internet connection is slow) you can buy
RiyazStudio on CD-ROM together with your registration key.
Once RiyazStudio is installed on your computer you'll need to connect to
the web - just the once - to complete the computer licencing. And then you
can concentrate on your riyaz.
