@killergames4you

[jaseins]

you're on to something, but this is a bit discursive, hard to follow. maybe work with an outline?

[anonymous794613]

Wow your beats are actually pretty good.

[BinaryLinux]

I tried making dubstep in this. I got the sound, but I always get trouble in the wub: it isn't timed right...

[MrAlexanderHoff]

Nice video!

[DeadlyDreamerX]

You can use countless of VST and instruments with this shit. This shit is powerful, but some people don't know that.

[Linux4UnMe]

@DeadlyDreamerX

yep

[goldvader]

Does anybody knows how this stuff can be tuned up a little more towards rap. I ve been trying to make freestyle beats and right now i can't use my original stuff cause it aint good so lyrics with somebody else's instrumental doesn't sound right. The beat introduction is good here im using it but it still missing something to become full rap beat

[Kbd2996]

Nice vid I wanted to know if I could record vocals and publish songs on YouTube with this software

[Linux4UnMe]

@Kbd2996

lmms is for making beats/instrumentals... you can use software like Ardour to record vocals on top of the beat you create with Lmms... I use to do it all the time ;)

[TheABCkid24]

I like this program.. But is there any better ones with more instruments and just more features.. that is still free?

[Linux4UnMe]

@TheABCkid24

you can download instrumental sounds and put it into Lmms... so the amount of instrumentals you can use is endless.... As for another program like this that is better? not that i know of

[TheABCkid24]

@Linux4UnMe Thanks! Your beats are really good! I have a couple more questions though ha. First, i have made some beats but i cant seem to upload them to youtube. I just basically want the beat and a picture in the background, i know you have to make the slideshow/movie first but it still doesnt seem to work out.. Any help?? Second, is there any other websites that you can post your beats on for people to hear and use? I had some pretty good beats that i think ppl would like/want to use..

[Linux4UnMe]

@TheABCkid24

thanx.... You have to convert it to a video format such as Avi before you can upload it to youtube... Just chuck the mp3 in a video editor with a pic and encode it to a video format before uploading to youtube.... As for websites to store beats on... hmmmm... maybe DropBox Cloud storage? you can share the link with people.... i'm sure there are plenty of other storage sites around that you can share files...

[bbpoopy]

[locanix]

link to download LMMS?

[Linux4UnMe]

@locanix

it should be in your package manager.... or a 3rd party repository... what distro do you use? otherwise just type lmms into google and it is the fist to come up

[locanix]
