a little repetitive, but interesting!
Things to fix
- try making the longer segments in the piano roll and more diverse measures
What to work on
- figure out how to use the FX tab in each instrument
- 2x2 plate (reverb)
- eq (use a spectrum analyzer for this)
- try making your own instrument sounds (recommend Triple Oscillater)
- look around on you tube for tutorials

another thing, when I started using LMMS about four years ago, would just look around the program. Look at other peoples work in the CoolSongs folder.
basically, Explore

cubitian seems to be the go-to guy for lmms tutorials. i started binge watching them but didn't get too far because i had already seen hours of fl studio tutorials. (i should've went to the website first) but i should refresh myself on these

Doesn't sound bad at all.
All it needs is some fixing up.
Some
Eq or
reverb, or
both, on the
bass sound, might make it sound fatter.
Also, don't forget, to check out the Lmms
Tutorials section, which is filled with music related
tuts on this forum.

Enjoy!

I like development.
Compared to other instruments, the "flute" is very narrow, it sounds mono (what comes out of the right channel is identical to what comes out of the left channel) while the bass and synth are much wider and have undergone some treatments. I guess this flute is dry (no effect).
