A friend of mine (owner of the PARIS studio where we did Wayward, actually),
is trying to set up a little music "pre-production" station on his personal
computer upstairs. He's got a Focusrite "Saffire" audio/midi interface and
is using the Cubase LE that came with it. He's using a Roland JV1080 as his
multi-timbral sound source, and has a little midi controller (one or two
octave thing) and an older weighted key digital piano as controllers.

I was trying to help him get it all set up so he can start cranking out the
tunes, but kept bumping into technical difficulties. We solved some of them
by browsing the internet to get the incredibly cryptic and user-hateful
Cubase LE set up better, but it still likes to just die in the middle of
laying a part down has to be ended with the task manager.

Any advice on this setup that might help him out? Is Cubase LE just a POFS,
or can it actually be made to work without getting a degree in software
engineering? And what does the "LE" stand for? Low End? Lacking
Efficiency? Likely Enragement?

I've been using Cubase 5.0 for years now, but my limited expertise with that
didn't help me much today with his LE.

Is there a better setup anyone would recommend to someone who just wants to
prototype his songs in the comfort of his living room?

I'm really out of touch with the world of music gear and software these
days, so I wasn't much help.

Thanks in advance from me and one of my "executive producers." :)
