LMMS • Forums

Hi guys, first time poster here

So I started fiddling around with LMMS a few months ago and used it as kind of a sandbox/scratchpad. I had no previous experience in music making and I learned quite a bit from this forum.
I've never felt comfortable enough to post a song, but I thought for general tips you guys/gals could have. As an example, if my mixing is off, if you hear something weird etc.
I wanted to make the melodies myself, if you hear something wrong about them tonally etc. let me know

Maybe these kinds of posts aren't allowed, fell free to delete it if this is the case.

Maybe a few infos about this snippet of a song:
Piano: PATMAN with the 001_Acoustic_Brite_Piano tone.
Flute: PATMAN with the 075_Pan_Flute tone.
Drumsamples: musicradar-techno-drum-fx-samples, 513TubeDrumHits_Wav_SP

I hope this post does not seem like me begging for advice.

Have a nice day everyone!

Great track, from start to finish, but it lacks a development and an end ... I hope you will continue on it.

I feel that you already have some experience with music.

This music is really good. And I like the ambient house style of this.
I would say, that this track is 90% complete. All it needs, is a tad more, to make it sound
a bit more complete. Especially during the ending part.

Wow! You used PATMAN? That is cool!

Actually not no But I'll take this as a compliment.
I always wanted to make music because I thought about melodies etc. a lot. So I decided to give LMMS a try because I was on Linux and did not want to pay a horrendous sum of money for a DAW. When I started a few months ago I didn't even know what Major/Minor were. Well, I still don't really know. I just really like playing around with sounds.

But thanks! The hardest part for me is keeping a song interesting. I can come up with a melody, drums etc., but actually making a whole song out of it is really hard...

Thanks! I saw a lot of your posts when I visited this forum, so that's kinda cool to get a compliment from you
Yes, I struggle with the ending, but I left it unfinished just to post it here because I wanted to hear some opinions.

Is PATMAN not used a lot?

Not everyone uses it. But it's a cool plugin though.
