I Tried Making a Beat in LMMS!! *free daw* 

Any LMMS producers out there? ➡️ The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: skl.sh/edtalenti03212

btw for anyone trying to get rid of the clicking noise, you just go to envelopes/lfo and turn up the release slightly, and if you get it the moment you start playing, just slightly (ever so slightly) turn up the attack. Hope that helps!

LMMS is really close to my heart as it's the first DAW I ever started my production with! ❤️

I'm LMMS producer and I really like it. I can't afford other DAWs and i don't want to crack them so I use this and I can load other free plug-ins or drum kits I find on internet and it works very good

this man every time he goes to record something in the daw smiles or touches his cap lol

this video gives me insane nostalgia for when I used to use LMMS. (fun fact I used to pretend it stood for "Legendary Music Making Software" xd).

That beat proves that its not about the daw :P really good beat, everything considered :o

If we had this daw when we were 20, we'd probably be billionaires rn...

This man makes a beat in 10 seconds better than any beat I’ll make in my life

i used to use this before i switched to fl studio. It’s very good for a free daw and i would recommend it to anyone who can’t afford a daw like fl or ableton

I started with LMMS actually

You're the only beatmaker I saw actually checking out how to do stuff on LMMS instead of going like "I can't do it, so this DAW is trash". Good stuff. I've been learning music production for 3 months now and actually managed to compose more than 15 songs from different genres on it(channel JazzyLuke). You CAN do decent stuff on LMMS as long as you know what you want and is not afraid of studying.

To record something and listen also to other instruments you have to use the play triangle on the left of the stop square in the piano roll

2:08 lmao that violin always kills my ears when I’m clicking through the instruments

LMMS was the DAW I started on, didn't make any heat in it but it ignited my music production journey. Started march of last year.

To remove the clicking sound you go into lfo and turn the amount up to the max and the attack just a little bit. Edit: lmms gang

Actually You can record midi while other channels are playing. First go to the piano roll, hit record button, Then go to song editor, play the part you want, and that means it's recording live whatever note you are playing on your midi keyboard, Not all Lmms users know this. 🙏🙏🙏

I like how I've been using this for years and in the first 2 minutes he already knowsmore than me lol

i would pay money to be as happy as this guy for a single day

Whoa, when I read the title I couldn't believe you were trying Lmms, I use it, you're amazing Ed and that beat is straight up heat🔥🔥

Glad i found this, youre making it look like so much fun. Ive never done anything with music in my 27 years and im trying to learn how to make beats now to improve creativity

I’m just extremely impressed by the piano skills everytime

ngl you so happy in these videos kinda makes my day

bruh this beat is better than all the beats i made combined

Talenti is the happiest producer and a good beatmaker :), really appriciate that video😀✅

I learned on lmms after my uncle let me try out garage band at a young age. It was dope for it being free and it lead me to go to fl haven't stopped producing since 🔥

INSANEEEEE edtalenti on the beat boi!

What an entertaining video this is I just LOVE his up beat vibe

LMMS doesn't have the envelope on instruments set to anything (or even enabled) by default, adjusting it for a few ms on attack (and maybe decay) will get rid of most clicking. Also may need to use the fast-lookahead FX on the master track to limit how loud some things get as it doesn't limit additive tracks automatically. (Some other DAW programs will do that for you.) Not that it can't sound good, but it forces you to learn to mixing if you honestly want it to.

The truth is you are the one of the producers that can squeeze "this" from new DAW. Beat came dopee (take a view that is a LMMS) 🔥🔥🔥 cheers✌

love your beats, been watching since 30k

Last time I watched you you had 80K... congrats on 100K Eddy!

You can use custom VSTs, but u gotta open them in a "Vestige" instrument if I remember correctly

I love this guys energy so bright :D

5:51 In the column on the left, where you picked your instrument, there's also Vestige, which you use to open and play external VST/plugins.

Hey you can add "Outro" as the final timestamps... Cause "808!" part is kinda 808 and the outro combined in the timeline! Thank you Ed.

How to fix the clicks : go to the envolope and max the amt so the release is smooth instead of the click

If you loop a section then play the play button with the circle around it, you can listen to all on the instruments and map your own sounds at the same time in piano roll

i like your high energy bro. subbed

It took me a while, but I actually like LMMS (mostly cuz I can't afford to buy a DAW or I can't understand how to use other free ones) Really, my only problem with it is not being able to use third party effect plugins. You can use VST instrument plugins through Vestige, one of the built-in plugins. btw, you can record while hearing the other instruments by pressing the play button with the circle around it. You can also record shorter notes by clicking on the big Q button in piano roll

LMMS was my first daw like 2 years and a half, its pretty good to start producing

Sick beat 💓

definitely the best beat ever made on that daw

“How to use instruments effectively LMMS”. The best tutorial to date.

This was my main daw for awhile and you can load plug ins and vst instruments with vestige in the sidebar

I've learned so much from you. thank you.

Ed you are a nature force 🔥

Of u r a pro so u can do everything like a boss ❤️❤️❤️

ive used lmms since i first started making beats but im thinking about getting fl soon

Really good Video Thumbs up !

I feel the same way about learning bro. I have written 9 books "Tales From Houma Book 1 & 2" are my personal favorites because of the research (3 years) that went into them. I learned to paint which was cool and I just started making beats 6 months ago. In short I LOVE LEARNING. I would love to send you some of my projects to critique them.

Might have to try this!

in LMMS you can record parts and hear the whole beat. just press the appropriate button. it's true that this 3 step start is missing. hihats was quantized because this option was selected. it can of course be changed or completely disabled. Additionally, lmms has vst2 support and has a built-in zynaddsubfx synthesizer with hundreds of presets. is a very advanced synthesizer. In the Linux version you can also run vst3 and LV2 plugins

Your beats are the definition of 🔥

lmms was my first daw, and its honestly still my favourite

Btw you can use VSTs in lmms, in the stock plugins there is something called “vestige” bring that into your track and click on it, it will bring up a piano or an instruction editor or smthng, press the green file button, and choose your VST from your computer

Fire!

You best man

your 808 pattern sounds reminds me a little bit of the song "Everybody Dance Now" haha maybe just a coincidence ^^

i use lmms since december 2020 and imo its very good free daw, when i'll have enough money to bought ableton or fl propably ill buy it but now im making good beats (imo) in good free daw

You should try Tracktion Waveform, it's also free and it's the one I used in between when I used LMMS and Ableton. Solid Ableton user and I realize that Tracktion Waveform's actually good.

When ed plays flute I don't know why but he looks like a flying bird😁,love from India🇮🇳

Good to see you're staying hydrated. Patrick CC approves

You can actually record the selected instrument together with others just go into the selected instrument piano rolls and there’s two type of record icon, one with the play and record icon is the one to record whole instruments together while you’re playing the current instrument you selected and you can go out of the piano roll then look at the whole section

This was much better of a tutorial than any actual tutorial

YOU KILLED ITTTT!!!

Before i used fl studio I used lmms and I must say that this daw was extremely fun to use

looks like a cool program

Bro you can use your plugin in lmms Gust go to edit > setting > folders > vst plugin folder > restart it There we go!

Everything's free if you're brave enough! Yarr-harr-harr!

i swear this man could produce a banger on premiere pro

This was so dope really Wana see u use fl 🔥

Fam this beat is fire 🔥🔥🔥 it's lit

You Need to increase the hold in the amplitude envelope all the way up , and give a very very slight attack to get rid of that clicking sound

LMMS instruments and in particular samples do click. Not sure exactly why but the only solution I know of is to enable the filter on the instrument (found in the bar right below the volume knob). It can help to give it a little attack and (in some cases) a bit of release.

this is what i started on, it was great for being free

And the beat is dope

2:11 That Loud trumpet sound always gives me that reaction too when I click on it 😂

i like how he ejoys everything

You are my fav producer ever

Wish I could like your videos more than once amazing content

I dont get how nobody underdtands that lmms can do a lot of stuff that Fl or Abelton can

Best software

you Did Perfect

first daw i used was lmms then i used fl studio and now i use ableton live

underrated

🔥🔥

HEATTT

i love lmms

On the piano roll, there is a time signature dropdown where you can edit the grid to have the shortest be 16th or 32nds

Man I laughed my head off watching Ed struggling with this 😂

Haven’t used LMMS in a minute but it’s a good daw when your starting out

This had me rollin for some reason lol

man i love checking these out, i dont need to stack notes anymore... im kinda dumb... this made me kinda happy though

AAAYyyyyeee, fireeee!

Man I'm so glad I'm not the only person who starts their records with chord progressions and lead melodies. EVERYONE always looks at me crazy because it seems as if starting with drums is normalized now days, but my workflow has consisted of starting with melodic elements since 2008. I'm a creature of habit! I would rather tune my kicks and bass to the key of the melody rather than being stuck picking a melodic scale based on a fucking kick drum. I'm all about releasing my emotion and passion through music- what you hear is what I feel. It's hard to do that when forming melody around drums.

I am a newbie producer and LMMS has really helped me well in creating my first tracks on YT. I hope to jump to FL Studio this year.

bro uses lmms for the first time and makes a better beat than I ever did

17:39 "It completely ignored everything I played and and just did straight eight notes, so, we'll just go with that; I don't know how to fix it." It didn't turn it into straight eighth notes; it turned it into straight sixteenth notes. (You're feeling the tempo as twice what the computer considers it.) If you look at the toolbar immediately above the piano roll, you will see the second drop-down menu from the left has a "Q" to the left of it. That stands for "quantization" I think, and you have it set to 1/16, meaning it will round any input to the closest sixteenth note. Unfortunately, I _think_ LMMS always rounds notes to at least the closest 192th note (i.e., triplet 128th note)*, but that at least means you can get an awful lot closer than the nearest 16th note, and I believe would be quite sufficient for, and in fact too much for, your hi-hat beat. *and that rounding is not counting any sort of delays included in the instrument, which you could probably do on a note-by-note basis using the automation track or something to trick it into playing rhythms that don't fit into that quantization. I thought of that because a trick like that is used to play weird tuplets in DefleMask (an emulator of old video game console sound systems, implying the same trick could be used on them), sometimes. Another kind of trick involves changing the in-computer time signature and tempo of part or all of the song. This is somewhat similar to how you can use detuning to play xenharmonic music (although, of course, there's always some amount of quantization, e.g., in LMMS, you can only detune by a whole number of cents, but that's close enough for most purposes, and the same is usually true of 192th notes). The main problem with these sorts of approaches is that they require a lot of effort to do things that may be conceptual simple. If you don't have to do it very often, though, like if you just occasionally want some perfect fast 9-lets in a slow song or something, it shouldn't be that bad.

Happiest person in the world
