How To Use LMMS - Tutorial For Beginners (FREE DAW)

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! 😉

Hi, one of the LMMS developers here. Just wanted to say this is an awesome video, you nailed a lot of stuff! Great job!

2:30 - When you trying to explain something but having a stroke for a moment.

yo, i know this tutorial is years old now, but i just want to personally thank you for not only being clear and concise, but INCLUDING SUBTITLES. SO many tutorials don't include subtitles and it makes it impossible for me to pay attention and absorb the info. i really really appreciate you going the extra mile here.

0:54 - Settings menu 1:55 - Layout 2:21 - Toolbar/Transport bar 3:22 - Media Browser (Samples, Sound effects, & plugins) 4:14 - Song Editor / Playlist / Sequencer 7:25 - Beat/Bassline Editor / Step-Sequencer 8:26 - Piano-Roll / MIDI Editor 9:28 - Automation-Editor 10:54 - Piano Roll (Continued) 12:20 - FX Mixer / Mixing Console / Mixer Rack 14:30 - Project Notes / Notepad 14:47 - Controller Rack

LMMS is so under rated... especially for chiptune.

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

When he started saying zgzgzgzggzgzgzzz...it sounded like that could be used as a beat 😂 EdiT: oh wth, I am funny then 🤷‍♀️ aLso I came on the 666th like, sum not right here 🤔

Free and easy to use. This tutorial was 15 minutes long but completely taught me how to use LMMS. Thank you!

Yooo wtf this actually looks really good, i remember when Lmms looked like trash

When he said: zgzgzgzgzgzgzzgz I felt that

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 :)

I am glad ...how kind this guy is ?....he took time to comment on most of the comment......... Wow

I just grabbed LMMS today for the first time in probably 10+ years. It's wild how far this has come!

Nice video man, I started with LMMS a year ago and I still discovering new things and functions, you helped me a lot with this tutorial. Greetings from Argentina :)

Kind of new to LMMS. Thanks for the easy - to - follow tutorial. User - friendly, open source, interface, everything I need. Thanks again! You’ve earned my sub!

Thank you for this tutorial! I know very little about music getting into this so this was a very helpful starting point! Actually it's kind of interesting, there's a lot of similarities with how the timelines on my video editing/animation programs work

Literally just delving into creating music today and this is the first video I clicked on. Very good, tyvm.

Thank you so much for making this tutorial, Transverse Audio! I'm still trying to make heads or tails out of LMMS, but your video has helped me to understand a bit more of how much is packed into this thing!
