The user interface is very graphical and very intimidating until you get used to it. 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.
