Hey all, just got here and I'm not sure is this the right board or is it even ok to ask this so I am sorry if I made a mistake but I just downloaded LMMS and it looks pretty fun to me but considering the fact that I cannot afford any of the musical equipment I just came here to ask can you make music without the fancy instruments or such or should I just drop it? Thanks a lot, once again sorry if it's in a wrong board. :) :)

Hey all,
Hi! Welcome to the forum Nerkec !
Here are all important links:
http://lmms.io/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4740
-A few rules and useful forum instructions
I am sorry if I made a mistake
You may ask anything here i forum, the Q may fit better in 'General', but that no big deal at all :')
can you make music without the fancy instruments
Yes! You do not need anything at all besides your pc-keyboard, and a mouse!
Some buy MIDI-keyboards, so they get the full 'Mozart-experience', but it is not needed at all!
If you never saw a DAW before, Perhaps my LMMS rookie-guide can interest you? Link in signature.

As musicbear said, you don't need anything.

Things you might wanna get when you have some money.

Good speakers and maybe a simple midi keyboard.

For me its easier to improvise on a midi keyboard, then delete all the crap and keep the good parts.

Welcome to the forum.

Learn how to make some synth sounds, and you'll be okay for now. :D
