I'm new to LMMS and I'm just getting started on my first tune.
I've stumbled into a few hurdles which after some DuckDuckGoing and reading of these forums I've resolved (scaling being one big issue for me on a 34" ultra-wide 1440 monitor!).
The thing I'm posting this message about is effects and the FX mixer.
I have just added an amen break sample (.wav-Audio File Processor) to the BBE and isolated the kick, snare, closed hat etc so I have 6 segments listed in BBE. It was very easy. I've then used these segments to create 8 different tracks in Song Editor. I can switch between them easily in BBE and have arranged them in Song Editor.
Now I want to add an effect to one of those tracks. After playing around over the past few days I found it's best to add a channel to the FX mixer then assign an effect plugin to the channel. I only seem to be able to assign my isolated segments (ie instrument) to the FX channel, not the track in song editor.
This means if I an an effect to the kick segment/sample the effect is applied to all of the kicks on all of the tracks.
Is this a limitation to LMMS or should I go back to reading the manual!? If it is a limitation is there a workaround? I hope this makes sense!
Thank you for any help.
EDIT: I'm using LMMS 1.2.1 on Linux. It's the latest version in the OpenSuse repository.
