This can turn off enthusiasm for the app for Linux newbies. But it is still annoying not to have menu access. Since the app starts from a terminal command, you must switch back to that terminal window to exit the terminal environment and thus shut down LMMS.įor seasoned Linux users, this terminal access-only approach is not much of an issue. Once the LMMS command is issued from the keyboard into the terminal window, a full-screen GUI or Graphical User Interface takes over. This is sometimes the case when an app is accessed with a terminal command. But fortunately, the music studio is not boxed in to running just within that window. I tried the installation under the Ubuntu Unity desktop as well as the Ubuntu GNOME 3 alternative desktop. This app does not plant itself in the desktop menu. The recently released Ubuntu installation was much more agreeable. The LMMS package refused to download and install. But I had trouble on two computers running Mint. LMMS is readily available in the software packaging systems of both Linux Mint 12 and Ubuntu 12.04. I particularly like creating backgrounds and accompaniments so I can play the MIDI keyboard live. When finished, I can easily select an output format. It lets me re-arrange sounds and rhythms with a click-and-drag action. It has tools to go beyond just creating musical sounds.

This app makes it relatively easy to build sounds and tones into a full track. Plugging in a MIDI-keyboard and folding in an impressive library of sample sounds from horns to drums, I can mix and create music to my heart’s content. Unlike other less capable music-maker tools, LMMS is an almost complete package. Its effectiveness depends on the user’s experience with music music and music software. LMMS pulls together a fully functional DAW (digital audio workstation) with various editors for composing music.

And I find LMMS very similar to Logic Studio, Beat Machine Pro and Apple’s Garage Band. Taken together, this app can handily give you all the music-creating ability you need to operate a home music-making studio.Įven better, LMMS goes against several commercial programs and feature-for-feature easily performs as your app of choice. It is a sound-generation system, a synthesizer, a beat/baseline editor and MIDI control system.
