+LMMS: A Free & Open Source Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)
+======
+
+_**In this week’s Linux application highlight, we take a look at a free and open-source DAW that helps make music with most of the essential features offered.**_
+
+### LMMS: A Free & Open Source Software To Help Make Music
+
+[LMMS][1] is a cross-platform open source [DAW][2] hosted on [GitHub][3]. It is completely free to use and you do not need to purchase any kind of license to use it.
+
+If you’re curious, there’s no specific full-form for “LMMS” acronym but you can consider it along the lines of “**Let’s Make Music**” or formerly known as “**Linux MultiMedia Studio**” as stated in one of their [official forum post][4] years back.
+
+So, with the help of LMMS, you should be able to work on making music on Linux.
+
+Of course, you should not expect a free DAW to replace a full-fledged professional DAW bundled with proprietary plugins – but for starters, it isn’t a bad one.
+
+![][5]
+
+If you’re used to other DAWs, it might take a while to get comfortable with the user interface. For instance, I’ve used [Studio One][6] and [Mixcraft][7] as a beginner – so the UI of LMMS looked different.
+
+But, the good news is – you get a [detailed official documentation][8] of LMMS. So, if you have trouble learning how it works, simply refer to the official documentation available on their [website][1].
+

+#### [Best Audio Editors For Linux][10]
+
+These awesome free and open source audio editors let you create awesome music in Linux. Check out the list of top Linux audio editors.
+
+### Features of LMMS
+
+![][11]
+
+Just like any other DAW, you will find plugins, samples to use, instruments, and MIDI support. However, it is indeed a long list of features. So, instead of taking a whole day explaining it, let me highlight all the necessary features that LMMS provides.
+
+  * Ability to add notes within the project without needing a separate note-taking app
+  * Bundled free plugins to use
+  * Note playback via MIDI or typing keyboard
+  * MIDI Editor
+  * Separate editor for instruments
+  * Track Automation support
+  * 64-bit VST instrument support (for wine-based VSTs)
+  * Built-in synthesizers that include some popular emulators for Yamaha and Roland
+  * Feature-rich audio plugins built-in
+  * Demo projects to easily get started
+  * Several samples included
+  * Native multisample support for SoundFont (SF2), Giga (GIG) and Gravis UltraSound (GUS) formats for high-quality instrument patches and banks (only if it’s relevant for your work)
+  * [LADSPA][12] plugin support
+  * You will also find the essential delay/reverb/compressor/limiter and distortion tools built-in
+  * Spectrum analyzer
+
+
+
+You can find some extensive [documentation on using LMMS][8]. If you face any difficulties, LMMS also has its [own forum][13] where you can ask for help.
+
+### Installing LMMS on Linux
+
+![][14]
+
+You can also find LMMS listed in the software center of your distribution- however, it might not feature the latest version.
+
+To get the latest LMMS version, you can download the .**AppImage** file from the [official download page][15]. If you want to take a look at the latest or previous releases on GitHub, you can find those in their [releases][16] section.
+
+If you want to use the AppImage file, you can refer to our guide on [using AppImage file][17].
+
+You may also try [installing the Flatpak package][18] available on [Flathub][19].

+
+### My Thoughts On LMMS
+
+![][20]
+
+Even though this is a feature-rich free and open-source DAW – personally, I found the UX a little dull.
+
+Of course, technically, it offers quite a lot of features and this could be useful for anyone who does not want to break their wallet to produce music. And, after all, it is an open-source solution.
+
+If you want a full-fledged professional DAW using the VST plugins, you might just hold on to Windows/Mac (if you’re used to it) because you still need to utilize Wine on Linux in order to make sure that the 64-bit VSTs work.
+
+**Wrapping Up**
+
+That being said, I’m not a professional music producer – so feel free to explore LMMS on Linux and make the most out of it without spending a penny.
+
+If you’ve used LMMS (or any similar DAW), let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
