 Hey, it's Anfa, LMS 1.2 stable have been released yesterday. This version was in beta for a few good years now, but they have finally reached their goal and released a shiny stable release. If you're an LMS user already, I don't need to tell you that you should go and download it right now on LMS.io, but if you don't know what LMS is, here's a quick rundown. LMS is an integrated all-in-one environment to make computer music. It's free and open source, it costs nothing, and it's made by a community of volunteers. It runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows. I've personally created about five full-length albums with LMS, including my most recent one, titled Suppressed, which I am really proud of. For a good demo of LMS's potential, I also recommend you check out the best of LMS albums on Bandcamp. This is a great showcase of what the LMS community was able to create over the years. They host a yearly competition and the best tracks made with LMS get released in a compilation album. I think LMS's biggest strength is that for a certain workflow, it has everything you need built in. It has a few samplers, like 15 custom synthesizers built in, including my favorite, Zenuts of FX, which is responsible for 98% of the sound of that album, which is mentioned. It can also load your favorite VST plugins through the Vestige instrument. LMS also comes with lots of bundled samples and demo projects to help you get started. The creators also host a service where you can find more LMS projects and presets, as well as share your own. It's called LMS Sharing Platform, or LSP for short. You can find a lot of my own tracks there, download the project files and just take them apart. I think that's a great way of learning. On the other side, one of LMS's biggest weaknesses is the lack of audio recording and editing. It's not a good choice if you want to record a rock song. That's why for recording live instruments, you'll need something else, like Ardor or Abacity. For a detailed comparison between Ardor and LMS, check out this video I've made a while back. Yet, if you're into heavily synthetic and sequenced music, like I am, go for it. GO FOR IT! That's all from me today. Thanks for watching. I also want to thank all the wonderful people who support my work on Patreon and Liberapay. I couldn't do these videos without you guys. Check out LMS 1.2 and I'll see you in the next video. Now go and make some music.
