How can I record and edit using an electronic drum kit to midi on a windows based PC (That I will eventually use in Garageband)?

Hi there
I know this isnt really a Garagband question and possibly a little off GB topic, but in the end I will be using the midi file in Garageband so it kind of is
I'm new to Midi recording so please bare with me.
I am looking to do the following.
Have my drummer record from his Session Pro DD505 electronic drum kit (which has a midi out) into his windows based computer via midi (He owns a usb to midi cable), so that he can then email me the midi file, so I can add it to a song in Garageband on my Mac. I will then choose the sound of the drum kit myself from Garageband.
He needs to be able to correct any errors he has made in the midi file before emailing it me, either by re-recording sections or by moving the incorrect drum notes to the correct beat.
I guess he would need to be able to hear the song that he is playing along to, and possibly have a click track playing at the same time.
So I guess what I am looking for is some FREE windows software to be able to record midi drum files into, that can also be used to edit the midi file after. A separate free piece of software could also be used to edit the drum midi files instead though.
I know that I can correct the midi drum files myself in Garageband, but I would rather my drummer spent the time doing this, not myself.
I've spent a bit of time googling this today but keep bringing up the wrong things as I'm probably using the wrong search terms.
So, any ideas?
thanks

You will be able to use the Cubase AI4 with any audio interface. Another option is to look for a 30 day demo of software like Reaper http://www.reaper.fm/index.php It won't stop after 30 days... just your concience needs to respond
Problem is though that if all you want to record is the MIDI then your drummer will also need some drum sounds in the form of a software instrument or a 3rd party VST to load into the recording software. So another program that comes uncrippled but has drum sounds in it is Ableton Live http://www.ableton.com/products However this can be an intimidating piece of software and it also cripples itself after 30 days.

    Vertical Color Lines on my imported file how can i remove and edit

    If you haven't used After Effects before, you should understand that posession of a template is NO guarantee of success without prior AE knowledge.  It appears you haven't used AE before.
    The color bars indicate a missing file, and your screen shot reveals no text layers. Looking at the precomp names, opening the one called, "edit text" might be useful.
    I will guess that the following would be even more useful:

    Without knowledge of the AE basics, templates are pretty much useless.

    Once that is turned on and you can see your contacts in the Contacts app, use this part of the iPhone Basics guide here http://support.apple.com/kb/TI138
    Create and edit a contact.
    In Contacts, tap + to pull up a new contact card. Enter the person’s info and tap Done.

  • How can I open and edit files that were developed and published by ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access.

    How can I open and edit files that were developed and published via ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access. The HD containing the files cannot be accessed. I want to be able to download the published files to be edited in iweb?

    You CAN'T download published files and then edit them in iWeb because iWeb can't open them - it has no import facility so is unable to open any html or css files - a previously published site.
    You can download these files yes, but you'll need to use them as a guide or to cut and paste text from there whilst you re-build your site in iWeb.
    The only other way is to download the files and then open them with an html editor such as TextWrangler or use one of the other web design programmes out there that is capable of importing html and css such as Dreamweaver of Flux 4.
    These are your only alternatives as iWeb can't import and if you want to continue to use iWeb, then you'll have to re-build your site from scratch.  If you do just remember to back up your domain.sites file this time around - it is found under your User/Library/Applicaion Support/iWeb/domain.sites.

    How can my wife and I use our two iTunes accounts on one IPad

    Unfortunately it will be difficult. iPads are personal devices like phones and done have credentials. You can of course log out of and into the app store to download purchased apps but the iPad will then have all the apps of both your wife and you (though you could put these into folders I guess).

    First, iOS 5.0.1 does not run on a MacBook Pro.  You should correct that on your profile.
    Please check out the iMovie forum, where you will get a quick answer to your question.  This forum is for the MacBook Pro hardware.

  • How can i visit and edit files on windows partition as i operate leopard?

    And vice-versa, just to complement the question. Originally, i can access to the Windows partition and edit some files smoothly, and vice-versa. But since i upgraded my Mac OS from tiger to leopard and reinstalled the window, i can't access to Mac partition while i use windows nor can i edit files in windows partition while i operate leopard I know the Macdrive can partly fix my problem , but i'm wondering if there are any additional ways of fixing the problem. i guess the problem is caused by the different set of format of each partition, what do u guys think?

    To access your Mac hard drive from Windows, you would want to check out MacDrive 7, which is really good.
    http://www.mediafour.com
    Under NTSF, you will be able to read your Windows drive from your Mac drive. However, if you want to write to it, you will need the following software from Paragon.

  • How can I import and edit my iWeb (2006 version) with newly updated iWeb 2011?

    Hi:
    I was using the iWeb from iLife 2006, until I just updated to iLife 2011. I tried copying and pasting my site into "sites", but when I opened iWeb for the first time; it appeared I coud not open that file. I looks like I may have to rebuild it from scratch, which would be enormously time consuming and difficult. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

    Well no, iWeb will not be able to open that file because it is your published site and iWeb has no import facility, so is unable to open any html files/published files.
    iWeb always has and still does store all your website information in a file called domain.sites which can be found under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Remember to look in your User/Library and not your System Library, as iWeb is not there.
    Find this domain.sites file and ensure that it is in the same place - put the file in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and then just double click on your domain.sites file and iWeb 09 should open it.
    Find this file and you won't have to re-build yoru site from scratch.  Remember that it is this file that you need to back up, as iWeb has no import facility.

  • How can I record in mono useing L for ch1 R ch for 2 and so on

    and have playback uniformed up 40 tracks.?

    Assuming that you are asking about recording in Multitrack view. In the track you just have to click on the input selection box (right pointing arrow) in the track header and select your required mono input there. Ususally the Inputs from your audio interfaced are number, for instance, (01S), (02S) etc for the stereo inputs and (01M), (02M) etc. for the mono halves of stereo inputs.
