How To Use LMMS - Tutorial For Beginners (FREE DAW)

Learn how to use LMMS, a free DAW. This LMMS tutorial for beginners will teach you the basics of the digital audio workstation. I go over the layout including the playlist/song-editor, piano roll, and mixer/fx-mixer, as well as what most things do. I also talk about setting up the DAW briefly as it is really simple and easy to use music production software. But what I do talk about is how to import your VST plugins, and get your samples and loops in the software too. Many people have said that LMMS is the closest you can get to FL Studio for free. You'll notice the two are close comparisons.

Previously called Linux Multi-Media Studio, this digital audio workstation was made free by an open-source team of developers, meaning anyone can contribute to this DAW, even you! It is available for Linux, Windows, and Mac so if you want to download LMMS for free, check it out here: lmms.io

God is great! It may be hard to believe when you don't, I came from the same place. It took me a while to understand and accept God. But when I did, it changed my life more than I could have imagined and I hope yours will be changed too.

Thanks for watching, I appreciate your comments and support!
