using LMMS to not use it?

[samthekid108]

So i agreed to do this rap collab with another guy online. But he has a chromebook so he has to do all of his work on soundtrap. and by extension me. so far, in order to do work, i have to convert an audio sample online, download it, work with it on LMMS, and export it back on soundtrap. this puts a strain on my workload and adds unnecessary files to my computer.

There has to be something i'm doing wrong.
any suggestions?

Not really, you are trapped in the incompatibility swamp between mac and win/linux. You have two options:
*sound-files as you do now
*midi-files, with the notes -but that depend on that soundtrap. thing.. Does it have midi export, and is his contribution score ?
You could also agree to work on a online daw for the parts where you interact, but again midi or soundfiles need to be the bridge to lmms

it actually does, but it saves it as a paid premium feature.
i'm 99 percent sure that soundtrap doesn't see itself as a genuine creation software. but it supports collaborations. i eventually caved and took everything to LMMS, but i have to use up a lot more filespace
