I know nobody is probably gonna see this and this vid came out a while, but I'd just like to let you know about another way you can sidechain. There is an effect you can add called sidechain compressor, and you just need to link a peak controller to the S/C level, you also would need to put the base effect at zero. from there you can adjust all sorts of parameters and I just think this way gives you a bit more control.

@@phonetyx Hey, thanks a BUNCH!! One thing that I just discovered in LMS that appears to be a deal breaker, though -The undo function doesn't seem to apply to changes you make in plugins -This is a big deal to me because I'm constantly experimenting with different plugins. Reaper has this feature -"Undo" works for all plugin parameters -but, Reaper is a B*TCH to work in. Really tough program if you ask me... If there is a way to program the undo function to take care of all of that, then i would be much more inclined to give LMMS a serious go....

@@boobo3763 yeah sorry i dont think LMMS has undo for plugins. as much as i love LMMS there are a lot of flaws with it. at least its free though. as for other daws i dont really have any good recommendations bc i do all my stuff in LMMS. you could possible look into FL bc thats the most similar to LMMS. beyond that i dont really have any insight. good luck though

In terms of filter, I prefer the calf filter. It offers more controls over how your filter can behave and how it sounds And as for sidechaining, there is another way I do it. It's more manual, but it offers so much more controllability. You use the 3xOsc, make the drum pattern in 1/16, throw peak controller on there, mute effect, play with knobs, and then like in the video, you connect sidechain controllers to that.

i used ableton and loved it until my PC died. i fix computers but the mobo died and i've been broke since the pandemic began. i use Linux on a flash drive on an old PC with a dead hard drive. LMMS helps, the only distro i could get to run was MX linux, and it's not even persistent. LMMS can host most of my fav VSTs in WinE, but i find the workflow a NIGHTMARE. Reaper works GREAT but this finicky antix distro won't load dlls so i have to use .so vst instruments. i wrangled my reaper so it's a lot like ableton, but i took some acid tonight hoping to make better friends with LMMS and i stumbled across your video. i made this comment before i watched...

Pitch bend automation does not work on the Opulenz 2xOsc Synth. There is also glitchiness with VSTs and external plugins. I am in the process of compiling a list of plugins and VSTs that interface well with LMMS. I’ve been using it for over a decade and I’m still learning new shit. Once you get up the fairly steep learning curve, it begins to become much more intuitive. Once you learn global automation and side-chaining, your sound will get to a whole new level. After using FL and Acid for many years, I can confidently say that LMMS is on par with both, save for a few limited features. The biggest one being no onboard recording capability in the recent LMMS builds. That’s not a problem though; I just record into audacity, then import it into LMMS via sample track.

@bearsoundzMusic Жыл бұрын

@MacoTheProducer What is it that LMMS is missing (disregard sound-recording, we know that :) of _tools_ , that you find in f.i. Abbleton? That would be interesting to know in the continued development of LMMS. One thing i dare say we in LMMS do better than the commercial DAWs is to _listen_ to our users :p, and actually implement new features that are being asked for, _by the users_ .

What damping does on reverb is gets rid of higher frequencies. High dampening means the high frequencies will end faster. I think the Bandwidth actually changes the frequency spectrum the reverb effects, it's not the same as a mix or Dry/Wet knob.. And blend is the same as Mix or Wet. And yeah, tail is how long the reverb lasts.

@MalachiCorliss 2 жыл бұрын

Yes you are correct. The bandwidth on that plugin refers to how many frequencies it will be reverberating at the same time, and no it’s not the same as a dry/wet knob.

Hi, thanks for the info I've just started learning this daw. I've been a producer for about 12 years now and a signed artist on beatport. I use Fl studio and my computer fked up, lost everything. I totally agree lack of tools on lmms. My main problem with lmms is I can not find a tool to cut a melody, so say I only want to use the first 4 beats of a 8 bar bassline or melody, then progress to the full 8, I would like to know if this is actually possible on lmms?
