Creating a Muffled/Underwater Effect

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to add a muffle effect to something, similar to the "FX" control in Music Maker Jam.

Thanks in advance,

You want to apply a "lowpass" filter through the EQ. The muffled effect underwater comes from the lowpass, which cuts out higher frequencies and muffles vocal formants. See https://youtu.be/fBVexeNj7wE?t=51
Yeah, a lowpass filter will definitely work, for a muffled sound type effect..

What is the "EQ"? I'm sorry if it's super obvious; I'm kind of new to LMMS.

Hmm. Ideally I would recommend you get used to the interface and usage of LMMS before trying these sort of effects.
EQ is short for equalizer.
See if this helps you:

(For high quality viewing, click "gear" icon and change "Quality" from "Auto" to the highest quality possible. Otherwise, download it for clear viewing. I have uploaded a clear file.)
It would be more helpful if I spoke alongside about how the EQ works, but for now you'll have to work with text.
If you do not understand how the equalizer itself works, then you need to spend more time around LMMS and understanding the behaviour of different tools like equalizer. Tutorials will help.
If you have any doubts about the process itself you can ask and I can post a better video (my screen recorder didn't capture me adding the equalizer, because that opens in a different window.)
If you want, you could put your audio sample into audacity, and use it's warping effect, reverb effects and probably an echo effect, to make it sound a bit underwaterish.
