LMMS is an emotion for me. I've been started producing music by LMMS from last two and half years and still I'm making BANGERRRS🧨 from this free and basic daw 💎 Honestly I mix/master all my songs in FL but still I don't know why my heart and mind both goes towards LMMS for production. It's not Just a DAW for me 🌍
@@freddymercury2259 The "free" in Linux programs refer to free source code, not free in price. Binaries could easily cost money, and still be called Free software (with capital F).
@@EugeniaLoli What does that have to do with anything? LMMS is a FREE, as in price, alternative to FL studio. If you have to pay for it, then you may as well buy FL Studio because it's better.
I've been using LMMS for over 2 years now, after watching most of your tutorials, (which are great btw, you make it easy to understand 😇) My hubby bought me the Ableton launchkey, but I'm finding it challenging having to use new stuff after getting so used to LMMS and all it's quirks! I still love it, the synth stock sounds work well with the kind of music I make. I just export my tracks into MP3's, so you can record them that way.
I used to use Beat and Bassline editor but that kind of workflow is time consuming, i literally put everything on the song editor, kinda makes it easier Tip : (forget about the beat and bassline editor)
2:19 the worst thing was when you paste the pattern into the wrong sound or forgot to copy properly so you have to go back to the original patern to repeat all of it....Hard times create strong men
The opposite happened to me, I started with FL and after many years I discovered LMMS, and I understood that LMMS is the dream of building a free FL, of course it will never be FL, but nevertheless the union of the LMMS community and the way in which they join their efforts to continue building that dream. I personally fascinated by programming and being able to program for LMMS is simply an honor, LMMS is like a brotherhood of warriors who do not care about succeeding but simply giving their best and die on the battlefield hahahaha
Trust me - you're underusing it. If you need recording, you can export stems from lmms as wav files, adding to them via audacity opens a world of discovery... You can drop WAV files directly into lmms. Oh as for editing - get an old graphics tablet. That improves your workflow tenfold.
i remember using LMMS when I was in middle school lmao, but you should do a review on Waveform next I think that'd be interesting since it's another free DAW
yo feezo, really really really awesome video btw and I love that you brought some lmms back to the channel, feels really nostalgic since my first time finding your channel was through those old lmms beat tutorials u made haha. I just had a quick question about your piano roll on lmms, how did you get it to label all notes along the side bar? Like the piano roll icon on the left has all notes labeled, on my only C is labeled. I'm on version 1.3.0 alpha, newest nightly version, was wondering if you had any info on this. Thanks again for doing what u do and for giving some exposure to this awesome daw once again :D
Unfortunately, Steinberg absolutely refuses to license out VST to open source projects. The current VST implementation is actually a reverse engineer of VST.
You likely won't read my comment as it always happens when leave one, but I am VERY surprised you don't remember things you have taught me in your older videos. Specifically I am talking about the beat and bassline editor. You can hold ctrl and drag any track from the beat and bassline editor directly into the song editor. This allows you to even make variations of your loops from the beat and bassline editor to diversify the song. And for the FX mixer you can link any amount of mixer tracks to a new one, so you can add effects to the new one, but have them apply to all linked tracks. As I mentioned above, I am very surprised you have forgotten that. After all you have taught me this.
I only play guitar. So when I compose music, I use something like MuseScore, then export it as a MIDI file. LMMS is excellent for importing that, and then use all the VSTs that it can handle. It can't handle VST3 yet, but there's a boatload of older ones that are cool.
yo anyone still using lmms check me out and lmk what u looking for and when i hit 100 subscribers im giving away a 8t hdd and some headphohnes at random
Naw feezo really put us on too lmms. I feel like we all hopped on FL now and he still holding lmms down till this day 💯🔥😤 I might go back to lmms just to see how my process has changed overtime

Been recording with Audacity and then load it into LMMS. This made me switch to Ardour, which has it's own shortcomings in my case. Would be great if they add recording to LMMS
this one was a really good fair comparison of those two. i think lmms project should be better funded and reach fl studio's development state faster. we can't accept that we don't have a good free non-proprietary alternative for music making software, as so many artists and musicians simply can't afford a full software to work with.
I agree, lmms definitely needs some rich investor to put a bunch of money into development or something. I haven’t used the program for years but it was absolutely crucial to my music making career, and I think there definitely needs to be a reliable free DAW out there for beginners to get into music creation
Thats why i use Mixxx,or VDJ 8,i loop the Stuff,add a kick,or a clap,and go....i add overdub by overdub and so and so....i can Add VST Plugins too.....why i need a "Star Trek Control Panel"to Remix a Soong,or create mine?Mixx and VDJ do the Job.
I started on LMMS and always watched you videos on it then I discovered FL has a free trial which I still use to this day and not because I can afford it it’s because the only thing I can’t do in the trial is reopen projects which I don’t do anyway
I've been on the fence about possibly switching to FL Studio, but I'm a cheapskate and I can't get around paying money for that when I can produce til my heart's content for free in LMMS. I know I probably should make the change, but I just don't know if I want to!
instead make a contribution to the LMMS project. it's a free an open source project so you can get involved and contribute directly. it doesn't have to be a lot even, but think of it this way, what has it been worth to you, and would you like to reward the developers who have created this software free of any ads or bullshit and make the project's code public by buying them a beer or a coffee, etc.? that's how i think of it. as a linux user (where we have less choices of proprietary software, but we do now have a number of great proprietary musid sotware now) i'm grateful for the amazing software passionate people in the free software (open source) world have given us, and i give donations when i can, and whatever i can afford, even if it's not much, i'm happy to give it, since they give away their work for free and the quality is often amazing. for proprietary stuff, i would just pirate it, but open source, my contribution is to make a donation.

@@feezo My bad if you didn't mean it as a complain You can definitely record midi inputs from instruments if a corresponding driver exists. But if you meant a regular microphone as input, it's impossible without using another program or maybe a plugin. There are many plugins created by the community, maybe there's one that record and automatically imports it in the project (I didn't looked it up)

The whole point of free software is not to be funded
Then it won't be free.

Ngl until i got Ableton i was using LMMS for a year and i have to say you're spittin fax
❤️
To this day, I'm still using lmms to make beats.
If only lmms could record, that would be awesome. It would be revolutionary.
Trust me - you're underusing it. If you need recording, you can export stems from lmms as wav files, adding to them via audacity opens a world of discovery...
You can drop WAV files directly into lmms.

Most new plugins still support vst2, so you should be good even with the most modern plugins.
I remember when i started producing and watching your Videos how to make a beat with lmms😭
Back in the day
Thanks for this video bro. Very informative
LMMS was everything for me . I now use FL but I legit use an LMMS Theme for nostalgia .
Im not good at making music but once I get better I think Ill switch to FL, rn LMMS is for me.
Hell yea bro it all just depends on what’s best for you

Favorite quote 10:29 "Would I use LMMS ever again. No. Probably not."
True question here, are you team pianoroll drums or team sequencer drums?
Let the debate open 🗿
Well, I don't think that is still worth it. But honestly, I loved the fact that it is still free.
+ I'll always love LMMS
Best free program for people who want to mess around with beats and learn sequencing and stuff like that
@@feezo i approve!
does anyone knows how his lmms has the scale by note on the piano roll? (7:10) I'm not finding it
microphone speakin fax 0:36
QUICK ANSWER: YES
What’s the name of the DAW?
@@eltonallenmusic lmms
LONG ANSWER: YES (IT'S FREE!)
As a beginner LMMS composer, I can confirm that it probably exists.
I used LMMS and still use it to this day just for hobby and practice. LMMS is the best free DAW out there.
As a person who remakes Bad Apple in LMMS, yes!
Man.. LMMS should support Jack. I always synchronize Ardour with Hydrogen, would be amazing to synchronize LMMS with Ardour to record audio tracks.

I love this daw
I love lmms I don't have money for FL studio wish I could stretch samples record, but
limitations are cool I guess
I am never leaving lmms.
I'm still using this until this day 😂
yes.
I liked lmms but I never learned how to use custom fx with it
I started on LMMS and always watched you videos on it then I discovered FL has a free trial which I still use to this day and not because I can afford it it’s because the only thing I can’t do in the trial is reopen projects which I don’t do anyway
i still use it cuz idk any other daws all ik is ableton and fl studio but LMMS is pretty decent
It's a great DAW to use for anyone who's broke like me, but if you can, you should probably upgrade to smth else
LMMS forever! ♡
ive been using lmms for years to make hits if you know how to work it properly its amazing

8:15 everyone knows LMMS + Audacity😭
Next time try Ardour7, it's free on Linux and costs only 1$ on Windows or even u can compile it by yourself for free
There's like 1 decent preset theme in the new fl21 rc...I found it kinda silly that it looks so much like lmms
So what essential stuff couldnt I do in LMMS?
Please try REAPER!!

Do yourself a favor and ditch LMMS; doesn't even have VST3 support. Waveform 12 free ftw.
Bruh just use reaper for recording
there are ways to record in lmms, I think you should go through the docs a little before complaining
Not one part of this video is me complaining, please let me know what recording methods you’re referring to since you seem to know so much
