I need some help, I just got LMMS and when I realized I completely fail at it, I came in search of a forum, so here I am. So, I was just wondering if someone can give me a few tips on making good songs and how to use the stuff on LMMS.

Thanks.

if someone can give me a few tips on making good songs
It's easier to help if you ask a more specific question.

I find that my songs with just a few instruments and not much variation, are those which others consider my best songs.

So keep it clean and simple!?!

First not to make any mistakes in a tempo- learn how to use the beat loops -here is the easy tutorial for you

you can even remove the beats at the end if you need to.
you can use the red button at the left up side-for metronome.
All that will help you not to get out of tempo. Than
I guess that is basic, and hope it will help you. :)

Not always, sometimes stumbling blocks are nice, especially for key changes.

Wow! Interesting question. "How to make good music?"
I'd say, it all depends on the individual, or musician, and his or her sense of style.

You know what, enough talk ............. ;listen to this EPIC track..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6b3OYRKQ9Q :o :shock:

And you'll get "REAL INSPIRATION" He! He! :D

This is my favourite Trance track so far, and video. It's a rarity.

Cool song huh?

Few people can make music like this.

The ........."second or third" time you listen to it. You'll love it.
