Clarification - the full Reaper DAW isn't so great on Linux but the free plugins have worked fine in LMMS (with Wine) for me.

Yikes, I was assuming you were on Windows. But Reaper does work with Ubuntu / Wine. However, It's not very good that way, to be honest. I have only used it to record sound (podcasts) because the Windows 10 update did a number on my external mic input. The precision and clarity of some of those Reapl...

Since I'm new to LMMS I haven't really checked out everything it has to offer. But I find these two plugs helpful (in case you haven't seen them):

My very first headphones were Sennheiser. I remember standing in a stereo shop and being blown away at how the phones sounded like a full room. And this was way back... probably the mid to late 1970s. (showing my age here...). I still think you can compensate somewhat 'for too much bass' 'too much t...

I think we agree. When I started diving into studio monitors, I got confused. My first reaction was, but those are just speakers. Why are they not just called speakers ? Then talked to somebody who had a pirate radio station, and he used studio monitors too. Yeah, of course, I never did buy those s...

What is or should be the only difference between what we call speakers and what we call studio monitors? Studio monitors should not color the sound, like most speakers you buy do. The bass sound is often boosted for example. This sounds great but is not good for mixing. I just make sure my stereo b...

I'm moving to LMMS from Reaper. At the Reaper forum some users were saying that even if you have great studio monitors, you also have to "treat" your room. I think this goes beyond egg cartons. I decided to get some very reasonably priced polkaudio bookshelves on sale along with some very ...

I think I am addicted to information. We had a power cut this morning when I awoke. First thing I did was turn on the talk radio news! (Battery powered radio)

I had hoped for better result. We need to look at better support for pitch-wheel connection Okay, I just got recording automation working with my Casio CTK-3200 on Win 10 64. I think I just didn't know what the heck I was doing. This time I made sure the automation track was fully dragged to the ri...

Could you elaborate a bit on that? How is reaper easier than lmms? Are there things in lmms that is confusing or very unintuitive ? Yeah, maybe I should have said not as easy for me right now. When I was learning Reaper it was pretty intimidating at the beginning. It took me a loooooooooooooong tim...
