DAW = Digital Audio Workstation

EZDrummer is a VSTi (Virtual Studio Technology Instrument), which means you need a "host program" (DAW) to run it. I recommend Renoise. Real men sequence vertically.

If you need help with this shit, I don't know why you didn't just send me a message. This computer music stuff is all I do anymore. :lol:

Fruity Loops is the Guitar Hero of DAWs. :no: At least check out Ableton or Reason. They're both still a little low tech compared to other things out there, but they're a lot more powerful and allow you to be a lot more individual than FL will. :tup:

Yeah, abelton and reason are superior programs, but I figure he's only going to use a daw to program thrash drums so he's not going utilize all that SUPREME POWER.

Then use a tracker. Stripped down, but still very powerful. :tup:

Logic Logic Logic Logic Logic, Hektik.

Get Logic Express, dude, and it's your one-stop music production shop. It's like taking all the best parts of Reason, Pro-Tools, and other programs and putting them into one. You can have your drum machine right there in your recording interface. No bouncing or moving tracks from one program to another. It's all right there in front of you, side-by-side.
Izzy: do you realize how broad "environmental science" is?
Izzy: it's like going to school for history
Izzy: well, more useful than that
Izzy: but an expert on the civil war won't know jackshit on uhh
Izzy: something that isnt the civil war

What are the samples that DFH uses? What kind of files? At worst you'd have to convert them to .wav files and then load them into the library.
