Hey guys so I started using LMMS a couple of weeks back and just made a new song called the wave

You can catch it on Soundcloud through the following link:
https://soundcloud.com/shreyas-saxon/the-wave

It'd be gr8 if you could provide some feedback regarding this song and what I could do better to make this song better

Thanks!

Welcome to our community!

You track is very advanced in harmonics and also in rhythmic structure
Is that intended?
What genre did you think of?
Have you read

Great first song!
A tip to make the piano sound more realistic (if that is what you want) is to have an envelope for the volume:

You can also use some reverb.
Open the FX tab, "Add effect" and start writing "reverb". The one at the top, "C* Plate2x2" is really easy to use.

Here's the LMMS manual if you feel like checking that out, includes mostly everything you need to know:

And the link musikbear sent could be helpful too:

Thanks musikbear!!! Yes I did intend the rhythm that is in the song (not necessarily the harmonics though). I'm thinking about trance at the moment but I haven't really zeroed in on one...

Yeah I have read the given link that was the way I knew how to use LMMS!

Thanks for suggesting though!
