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.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
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.
