What the heck do you use the controller rack for? I've been making music with LMMS for several years and I've never used it. I'm sure I read about it in the manual when I started but I either forgot about it or didn't see an immediate need for it and THEN forgot about it.

Still questions, then ask specifically on that.

. Here in forum, we do not like the concept of 'stupid questions' -They really do not exists :)

The peak controller can be great for sidechain compression and the lfo is nice because it can be attached to any single knob in the program.

Yeah, now that I looked it up (thanks to Musikbear) I'll probably end up using the lfo for, like, everything. What's sidechain compression, though?

Sidechain compression is where one instrument is compressed based on another. Example would be the bass only getting compressed when the drum hits. Peak controller can be used along with the sidechain compression plugin to create this effect. Would recommend looking up a video tutorial on that.
