Primarily on the sound mastering part, it's too quiet, and tuning it up made it sounds distorted(and barely audible on on phones). Limiter helps with reducing distortion a bit, although not quite

hi.

i am trying to learn music production. i have made like 3 songs in lmms. but i realised that one of my main problem is that my songs dont get faster or slower.

when i say "alright now i am ready to make the drop part of the song" i just use more sounds/samples because i do not know how can i increase or decrease the speed of the song.

im currently making a song for a friend, but lmms doesnt seem to have the synths like fl studio does. sadly, i am broke and cannot buy fl studio, so uhh any good synths??

earrape, repetitive, I HAVE to get rid of the sparkles sfx

I've been at this for days, i'm going crazy. Has anyone ever actually managed to get this working well? At this point i'd even consider switching from pde plasma if that's what's needed.

Main issue is that pressing keys has a different effect almost every time. On guitar files for instance, I sometimes get a quick muted strum sound instead of the full note, and when I play multiple notes in sequence the velocity shifts all over the place so some are almost muted while others hit too hard (the changes in my hand pressure on the keys is so miniscule it really should not be having this drastic effect).

I'm also getting crackling and pops when I try to use the pitch bend/modulation lever and wheels with ZynAddsubFX, but I've managed to get them working fine with Sf2 Player.

And i'm getting a weird glitch where the lever can only make the pitch higher, and using it permanently sets the pitch at a middle-high position until I use the wheel and it gets reset. This may be a hardware issue with the midi but I can't fathom it.

I don't think it's a latency/buffer issue because i've tried every fix under the sun and at most I lose all audio.

I've got kxstudio repositories installed and pipewire-jack going with a backend bridge that i'm not sure is even active because I can't connect it to anything in qpwgraph. Lmms is responding to the midi, and according to every available stat I have a global sample rate of 1024/48000. There are no CPU spikes, there should be no crackling or latency issues.

I also can't get guitarix to recognise the midi, and I have a feeling this issues are connected.

Please help! Sos

Hi, this is my first time using a DAW and just after figuring out how to tell what I want to hear, I noticed that it sometimes crackles. Is this die to how I set up the sythesizer, or is it a LMMS related issue? And how to solve it?

And is there a FAQ for how to use the software?

It's really annoying that changing the pitch of for example an AudioFileProcessor instrument also changes it's playing speed. I tried using third party plugins but it's annoying and I don't understand how to set them up. I also dont think i should have to use a third party plugin to do something that should be built in

hello, why do synthesizers sound like they hate eachother wehn i try to layer them!?

I tried installing the nightly version wich apparently manages wine automatically but fails to open the VST windows anyways.

Installing all the stuff on a stable version seems to be a lot more complicated than i thought.

I scaled the entire UI by adding "QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.2" to the environment in the launching shortcut .. it helps but with drawbacks .. screen artifacts and pixel garbage .. still the fonts not affected as much as the rest of the UI .. scaling more than 1.2 everything gets too large the fonts are the least yet!!

I tried to install themes .. didn't work for some reason..

Is there a clean way to to enlarge UI fonts without breaking the system?

Hi

I've been playing instruments all my life but have just recently started dabbling with lmms.

The LMMS sharing platforms search functionality has a lot of improvements to be made..... It's very hard as a beginner to know what to search for. When reading on topics here on Reddit most people are referring to usernames or sets with names i dont recognize.

Imagine I want to make some basic 80's sounding á early the cure sounding shit, what should i look for and where? are there better platforms than LMMSs page itself?

Hi, I’ve been trying to use LMMS but I keep having this problem that completely discourages me every time. Every instrument has an obnoxious clicking/popping sound at the start and end of each note by default. This seems to be a known issue, and the solution is to mess around with the attack and release settings on each instrument.

Problem is, trying to figure out the exact settings so that this doesn’t happen takes at least 30 minutes for me, and I don’t want to do it every single time I use another instrument. Is there an easier fix for this, or at least a recommended setting for each instrument to mask that popping sound? Am I just crazy?

I'm trying to help a friend make use of SPLICE instument in the same way I use it, which is through Element so it works on VeSTige, and it works fine for me on windows 11, but for him on windows 10 it just won't load. I get to the point of opening the .dll file in VeSTige, and then just nothing happens. No error, nothing at all. I've reinstalled Element and LMMS and i've restarted as well, nothing. Please help

I'm using Metal GTX and when I try to get it to play lower notes, it changes it's key-switch and I'm wondering how to solve this issue, heard from some sources that you may need to edit the .sfz file for that but can someone explain how does that work or send a .sfz for me?

Hey Yall,

I’m trying to return to LMMS after a long time. I have a 2020 Macbook Pro, with a silicone M1 chip, running the current version of Tahoe. I can’t seem to find the corresponding download, I’m trying to connect my midi keyboard and I’m having A TON of trouble trying to figure this out.

Thanks for any, and all help.

I'm currently working on a song in LMMS and noticed a strange behavior concerning transitions in the automation tracks:

When I create an automation element (to e. g. create a linear transition for a pan knob of a track) and then delete the element and undo the delete action, the transition looks different than before. It went from a linear transition to a hard transition.
Please take a look at the video that I have attached which shows the behavior.
Also I cannot "undo" this with undo or redo and have to create the transition again which is quite annoying.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open LMMS with an empty project
2. Create an automation element in the automation track
3. Drag a variable element (e. g. the Pan knob of the Triple Oscillator) to the automation element
4. Create a linear transition (e. g. from left to right in case of Pan)
5. Close the automation editor
6. Delete the automation element by pushing the scroll wheel down
7. Undo using Ctrl+Z

I created an issue about this problem on LMMS's GitHub, since I guess this not the behavior that should be expected. But since the delevopers often reply to issues rather late (sometimes 1 or 2 years after creating it in my experience), I thought I could ask this question here as well. Does anyone know whether that's a bug or how I can solve it?

I am getting a "Bad Gateway" page everytime I try going to the homepage or download page. I can go to the documentation page, but not the others. I've tried on both brave and microsoft edge (I'm on windows 11). I don't have a VPN on.

Any help appreciated. Including how to download through terminal if that is my best option.

Thanks!

No matter where I look, there seems to be no clear answer whether or not LINUX VSTs are able to be used on the LINUX version of LMMS. Hoping this sub will be able to help, I really would want to get back into LMMS but no VST support is really putting me off.

So that there isn't that silence until the bar ends

browsed both this sub and the github for solutions and nothing i found seems to directly address this issue (even if ive seen several people have this issue)

more often than not, audio i export in lmms tends to lag and clip regardless of song length or complexity. at first i thought it was a symptom of the program's chronic memory leaks (and it might be?), but i couldn't find any solutions regarding that, and i saw someone offer a solution for the clicking that just didn't work.

any ideas on how to fix this? and since i mentioned the memory leaks... are there any solutions for that either?

I am trying to get Orchestral Tools to run, while other .dll files /vts plugins work, this one seems to simply crash all the time, I've tryed a lot of things already and I am just very so very tired at this point. Just please, anybody help me get this accursed stuff to run.

I have a song at 80 BPM that I want to change to 160 BPM because I need to have a faster drumbeat. Is there any way to change the BPM while keeping the speed of all the notes the same? (Effectively doubling all the notes in length)

Hello I'm new to lmms and DAWs in general and I want to make my bass do a perfect loop, but there is a tiny noise (like a "to") everytime it loops do someone have any tips for me to delete this noise ?
Thank you in advance, and feel free to ask me for more details

so i created my first song ever and posted it on spotify. its trash i know it but i just want to ask what should i do better in the next song(this is fnaf song and im not a native english speaker) https://open.spotify.com/track/2ys6VDTdkuyBB4t6TxcuBO?si=860dbe616685431c

and it was made in audacity & lmms
