Hello! I recently just got into the music making hobby, and I'd really like some help if at all possible!

I aim to eventually make my own songs using LMMS, but I was thinking of starting off with remixes and covers of songs, just to get to know the program and to get started https://xender.vip/ !

However, I'm no music student, and I'm definitely not used to LMMS as a program... and I don't really know where to begin to even get started on any project. So, if you guys have any advice for a beginner like me, I'm all ears!

That is a good way!

We often get this question.
To Learn the program you need to read the documentation:

And perhaps my Rookie-guide (see signature) can help too.
Learning the ropes in music starts with the simplest music-theory
Here i have a small collection of vids in a play-list:

Beside that just ask : )

Starting with remixes and covers is a great idea to get comfortable with the software. For beginners, I'd suggest exploring tutorials and resources online. Experiment with different sounds, loops, and effects within LMMS to understand how they work together.
As for promoting your music down the road, platforms like Spotify can be amazing for sharing your work. If you're interested in reaching a wider audience, consider services like Streaming Famous on streamingfamous.com .
Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the process of creating music. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want more tips. Happy music making!
