Covering things

So I want to cover this song: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7ba13 ... sp=sharing
and I can't figure out how to replicate the instruments.
Help?

So I want to cover this song:

And i can see that you are new in our forum, so Welcome to the forum ! First, For you, all important links:

And a few rules for posting and using the right sub-forum :)

I understand your wish for making a cover, and in way also, that you would like to come 'close' to the instruments in the orr. song, but then again : What is the real fun in that

If you on the other hand listened to the orr. piece, and then made some new radical decisions for the instruments, then you could come up with something that is much more your own, and not a copy :)

But if you are set to recreate, the only way is to listen, and then browse the lmms instruments, until you find a close resemblance . There is no how-to-that method i know of

I am doing this as a practice thing to get better at LMMS, and part of it is knowing how to make instruments that sound how you want them to, instead of tweaking random things until it sounds good. I also just like the song and it would be cool. Kudos to anyone who recognizes it.
