Is LMMS good for a beginner?

[qunasfoma]

I'm completely new to making music digitally. All of my experience with music is just with playing acoustic instruments and I wanted to try and start making music digitally. I downloaded LMMS and it seems to be a promising DAW for me. I wanna ask people who used LMMS for their opinion for a beginner musician who's looking into just making pop-ish songs.

Hey there qunasfoma!

As far as I'm concerned, LMMS is not the best choice for someone looking to produce pop music and is just starting out. While I must say, it's a really powerful and cool DAW, it's not THAT simple for beginners to get into it, since you don't get many presets and samples coming with LMMS directly. Furthermore, it's mostly made for artists looking to produce electronic music.

While you still can make great pop music in LMMS, it isn't as simple as it might be in other DAWs. I still recommend checking it out – you can still make such beautiful music with it and learn a whole bunch of stuff in there!

LMMS are not more difficult or simpler to use as many other DAWs, or computer-programs in general, by that i mean, every user has to put in some effort and time when they want to learn to use any program. That is also the case of LMMS.
However LMMS is different in respect to support, an influence, because LMMS is made by LMMSs own users!
That mean that any user can get direct influence on the project and features, that is quite unique.

Pop music relies heavily on high-quality vocal processing, polished acoustic sounds (like pianos and guitars), and modern drum kits—areas where LMMS can feel a bit "bare bones" out of the box.
