Looking for loops software for research

[nuwldct]

Hi,
I'm looking for software for some research I need to do. The software requirements are:
-very user-friendly so that a non-musician can use it within 15 minutes of training
-able to control tempo, dynamics
-can add various tracks as well as a wide variety of individual instrument sounds
-realistic sounding real instruments
-preset styles (jazz, country, classical, etc.) that can be selected
-includes drum tracks

This can be a program designed of for kids or amateurs.

I would REALLY appreciate your suggestions!

Thanks,

Laura

Well... i think that you want something like acid.

Acid Express is free, we have Acid 6 Pro demo here
http://free-loops.com/acid-6-pro.php

What you will want to do is select a few loops from our site or some other site in the genres you want, as well as the instruments you want.

The tempo and all that can be controlled on the fly.

Really really easy to use.

Hope this helps you out!

Thanks for posting.
