How to actually learn how to use LMMS to make music.

[tanalgaov]

So, i want try out and make some music on LMMS. I have only the most basic knowledge of music, how can i go to learn more than placing notes but actually making them sound good? I get that i'll get the "feeling" with time and experimenting, but for example: https://showbox.bio/ https://tutuapp.uno/

Whenever i place a note from a soundfont it always cut in the most sharp manner possible, how can i make a piano note sound like a piano?

The sound produced depends on the settings in the instrument.
I have made a series of videos that explain a little about making instruments

Hi,

Watching all videos explaining how to do anything with LMMS is a good thing to do. Even if it’s not about the musical genre you want to produce. Musikbear’s videos are good I can confirm.

But I’d say that any video explaining musical production will often teach you many interesting thing. Even if the musician is using Abelton or any other DAW in his video.

Personally I find the videos made by this guy very interesting: https://www.youtube.com/@OscarUnderdog

Once on a forum, a guy asked a chief how to make his recipe less blend and he answered ... "butter"

From what you say, what you want as a quick fix is REVERB and there are some various ways to do that but the easy and quick way is to add the effect in your instrument (FX tab)
