  • Learn how to use LMMS, a free DAW. This LMMS tutorial for beginners will teach you the basics of the digital audio workstation. I go over the layout including the playlist/song-editor, piano roll, and mixer/fx-mixer, as well as what most things do. I also talk about setting up the DAW briefly as it is really simple and easy to use music production software. But what I do talk about is how to import your VST plugins, and get your samples and loops in the software too. Many people have said that LMMS is the closest you can get to FL Studio for free. You'll notice the two are close comparisons.
    Previously called Linux Multi-Media Studio, this digital audio workstation was made free by an open-source team of developers, meaning anyone can contribute to this DAW, even you! It is available for Linux, Windows, and Mac so if you want to download LMMS for free, check it out here: lmms.io

    Hey everyone! All the information you may need is in the description (timestamps, computer specs, plugin support, etc.) One thing I will add is that you can not record live audio in this DAW but could easily use something like Audacity to compliment this DAW if you do vocals or play an instrument. Thanks for watching, let me know you stopped by and say hello! 😉

    What I think they should add in next version of LMMS:
    1. Ghost notes
    2. Audio recording and editing
    3. Drag and drop a sound from desktop to Beatmaker
    4. Grouping system like in Soundbridge

      You'll be happy to know that ghost notes are already implemented in master branch. In addition, sample tracks can be sent to mixer channels, and samples can be dragged from the sidebar into a sample track. There's open PRs for audio recording and slicing samples (knife tool), too.

    A few things I feel are worth mentioning as I watch:
    If you place your samples in [LMMS Working Directory]/samples, they'll show up in the samples tab in the sidebar. The working directory can be configured in the preferences menu.
    (You might even be able to symlink to your existing sample folders inside the directory, I don't recall if this works or not.)
    In addition, you can place automations of different types on the same track, should you feel like it, or connect several controls to the same clip.
    An unintuitive but useful song editor feature is that if you start dragging a clip and *then* hit ctrl, you can fine adjust the position.
    The controller rack lists not only LFOs but also peak controllers, when they're added (via an instrument/sample track/mixer channel's effect chain).
    All in all though, this is a well researched video! You bring up a lot of less obvious features that other tutorials miss :)

    • @TransverseAudio
      @TransverseAudio  5 лет назад +6

      Very interesting, thank you for mentioning these additional features, although I think I did mention double clicking on the piano roll. I wasn't even thinking about mentioning moving your own samples into the working directory either, that's actually what I do in my main DAW. It's cool to know there is more to this program than I thought.

    Thanks, this is a good UI intro to LMMS. However, as basically a "day 1 noob" who is unable to appreciate what most of these features are, or how/when to use them, I still am left like a deer in headlights. Do you have any suggestions for getting started, with the basic concepts, when they are useful, and how they work together? I'd be interested in a hand-holding through the creation of a short piece, starting from a new empty project, explaining the how/why of each step that is done until it's "finished", without assuming the watcher knows anything about it. The way these things are used in real workflow, and to see a peek at the thought process behind it, would be invaluable. Thanks!

At least I know what automation, panning, VST, LFO, and all those kinds of things actually means now, and after re-watching this video (to see how far I've come) it is all pretty clear to me. It was not so much about music theory I lacked, but about "defining" terms used in the context of a DAW, especially since it says "for beginners" but doesn't say "people with experience but who are new to LMMS." Anyway, I still found this video valuable as one of the first I DAW-related videos I've seen, because it gave me a list of thing about which to find out more!

      Hey, thanks for asking! I think you will be better off getting realistic plugins for that, depending on the style you are aiming for. The stock plugins that come with LMMS are more geared towards retro and Chiptune. Here is a playlist I made for a bunch of free ones, including realistic instruments: ruclips.net/p/PL6faDNDX-aTJ5wENxQzyi_nvyqSDGVHF_

    Here is my suggestion to the developers of LMMS:
    1) Add the ability to drive an external MIDI enabled instrument.
    2) Add a SMPTE OUT, and a SIMPTE IN that will track an external SMPTE source.
    This would move LMMS into the world of real production.
    ANY sequencer program must be able to drive and be driven externally.
