If I get the opportunity I will obviously see what the problems are and see if there are easy solutions.

Two questions - Do you know of how (if) cubase files can be run with a floss package? - Is it worth suggesting to him learning how to use Ubuntu studio and if so what package should he use instead of cubase?
