At best, I have toyed around with it and it’s mostly messing around with effects plugin on Soundtrap mostly for fun. Other than that, I don’t know how to exactly make a good beat.
Also does people still use LMMS as I mostly use Linux instead of Windows?
I’m also very much a beginner, but on Linux, you seem to have the choice between two open-source DAWs: LMMS and Ardour.
Ardour has more features, by quite a bit. Which basically tells you the rest of the story: Ardour is more capable to become the tool that you use long-term, i.e. even for more complex projects. But it’s also much more likely to overwhelm you right away.
Personally, for example, I have a knack for weird, changing time signatures, i.e. I might go from 5/4 time to 7/4 time to 3/2 time etc…
LMMS couldn’t really do that, when I dicked around with it about 2 years ago. You could change time signatures in the middle of the song, but it was only dynamic, so your notes didn’t get displayed in the different time signature until you triggered playback.
As a result, I felt kind of forced to learn Ardour …and then fucked off in a different direction anyways. DAWs generally just felt like they introduce a lot of complexity and aren’t really made for the kind of music I want to make. 🫠
Your mileage will obviously vary.
