What exactly is he going to be recording? And what platform?
ProTools is the industry standard for recording. However Id normally push Cubase if you are unfortunately recording on a Windows based machine as ProTools runs like a total dog on Windows. If its more electronica - will they be recording from synths, or MIDI controling synth modules? Or both? If so - ProTools does offer amazing connectivity and routing for that kind of thing. However if you want to create music more than record music, maybe take a look at one of the more all in one bits of software like Reason or Ableton (especially good for live performance - can be a little clumsey for studio work although I've not had a huge experience of it).

if you on PC platform and need more fully fledged recording, try Sony Vegas. Is now more commonly known as a video editing program, but is a complete DAW (digital audio workstation) with ability that apparently matches protools. started life as an audio editing tool, then added video capability later.

Must be a good mate! ProTools is the best, but costs a packet because of the hardware you need to use with it. Cubase can do anything, and is well worth investigating. But it still costs quite a bit. Reason is also good, but also costs a lot. Ableton live is probably the cheapest proper suite, and is very capable.

http://fasoft.com/ - nTracks is one of the best free multi track apps, but it really is shocking
