He wants a drum machine and is willing to pay, but I think it would be best for him to try out some free stuff and suss things out before deciding what he wants to commit to.
So, I think the idea of suggesting a host and Vsts is a long way off!
Ideas so far to introduce are hammerhead, leafdrums2, Tuareg2 and dLusion drumstation...... with my thoughts swinging towards leafdrums2 cos it seems foolproof ( and yet versatile .... and would be more so if reverb was an option in the fx menu. ) .... very straightforward!
How would any of you guys go about this task? Were talking about a digital prog virgin here, he's a fairly intelligent lad, but then so am I ....and I know fine well that it took me a lot of hair pulling, chin scratching and random key hitting on the way to gaining the knowledge I now enjoy!
Am I missing something? Is there a killer standalone drum machine out there which has eluded me, which may be all this guy will ever need, and yet will be so easy to use?
Did I mention that he's not a drummer? ....
