Any suggestions for an affordable but decent enough MIDI controller? I guess the main thing is that it is velocity sensitive, and the keys aren't TINY. I do have small hands so if the keys are a bit smaller, that is actually better for me. But I just don't want to be smashing neighboring keys (I am ...

So I have a question that is basically impossible to answer... Should I get a MIDI pickup for one of my (several) guitars? Or bite the bullet and pick up some keyboard and learn how to play it a bit? I am looking to create more "atmospheric" pieces but I am absolutely terrible at piano. I ...

I would be very thankful if anyone has any Nick Cave or other alternative music projects they have created in LMMS and would be happy to share.

Now I know what I should be looking into.

Thans again.

Hi all, and sorry for the noob questions (did try searching first, but didn't find anything that covered exactly what I was looking for). Just so you know where I am coming from, I would like to compose short (about one minute) tracks to accompany youtube videos / slideshows for my wife's boutique c...
