Cubician (LMMS artist)

Listen to Cubician

I found Cubician from United States today, through the cooperation with Cubiicle (previously known as Aden DeltaX). He makes electronic, dubstep, house. Inspiring tracks in my opinion. He seems to put his soul into the making of these songs, giving them their own souls, living their own lives. A lot of neat details is baked into the tunes to keep you listening, and making you want you to hear more. As electronic music tends to be, his songs are built up with repetitions, but that is a rather good thing when you manage to keep the interest high.

This is a true EDM (Electronic Dance Music) producer! Mixing and mastering is on a high level, real good! I get associations to Röyksopp and Macrowave! And the synth sounds is perfect, both raw and soft with side chaining. I really enjoy to hear such synths from LMMS. Last year I thought LMMS was incapable of creating good EDM songs, because I had yet to hear the badass synth sounds in LMMS. Now I have heard it created by several artists. Cubician is perhaps the best of these so far. Arpeggios, sweeps and other effects are common in his songs. This is party music!!!

Building LMMS on Windows

I got to make a post about this, because it has been widely known for the people I have talked to that LMMS was nearly impossible to compile on Windows. The fact that the official builds are compiled on Linux kind of supported this belief. Then Tobias suddenly said:

Building LMMS for Windows is quite easy - download required cross compiling packages https://launchpad.net/~tobydox/+archive/mingw/ and run the "build_mingw32" or "build_mingw64" scripts. Afterwards "make package" should give you a ready-to-go installer file.

He added that you need to install the "nsis" ubuntu package before using "make package".

UPDATE: I know nothing about compiling, and after I posted this post I a friend of mine once again told me it was not so easy... Luckily for you this guy intend to upload recent LMMS builds to his Google drive, and wanted to share it with you! Halleluja :3

Feedback apology

Soo, I tend to give feedback on almost every song I listen to. Turns out I am giving too much of personal feedback. If I heard your song, and I felt the drums didn't fit in a such way that I personally felt it ruined the song, I would probably have written a comment stating it on SC. That could have, and already have, pissed at least two people off, so I must of course quit with it. The reason I commented with my personal feelings was because I believed some feedback was better than nothing. "An artist would like to see how his song is considered by his audience, and through SC he can get that feedback", I thought. However If I don't explain why I said what I said (previously I thought it was implied I told my personal feelings, which is a rather bad reason as I understand now), there is no point in commenting. Also, I have been told that writing a suggestion on how to improve what I think could be improved is better, so I shall always try to do this if I write my feelings.

From now on, I will be more careful and definitely think twice if posting personal comments. Or else I will stick to general neutral comments or not comment at all. I have acted like some kind of independent judge, which perhaps is fun on my blog, but not fun when I do it all over SC. I am truly sorry to those I hurt, my intentions was good, I will gladly delete any comment you want me to delete.

LMMS for Mac

 Update: LMMS 1.1 will be the first offical LMMS for Mac. Go get it at github.com/lmms/lmms/releases

Mac users have always had the opportunity to use weeks on compiling LMMS... NOW they have the option to do it in shorter than one day thanks to Tres Finnochiaro.

CRAAZY RIGHT? I really have no clue how long it would take to compile it, I just present you with the instructions.

Ooor, use the dmg file... qzindustries.com/files/lmms_1.0.2.dmg

Oh noes!

Bad news guys. It seems I have reviewed fewer LMMS artists lately, and I don't think I will manage to get back to the top level of reviewing as long as I am involved in so many aspects of LMMS as I am now. I ain't exactly planning on leaving LMMS, it is more like the opposite (hint, OMG, we'll see if it'll ever happen).

I'll probably write some more reviews, especially this summer. Beyond that I suspect nothing as I am going to university next year. If you want to try out reviewing LMMS artists you just send me a message or comment, and after I have done some reviewing on you, I'll make you a partner here on da blog. I'm going to change the title then, don't worry :)

My former userpage at the wiki

So I wanted to preserve this "biography". It tells a lot about my relationship about LMMS... Remember I wrote it two years ago :) Now LMMS is a lot better (for new users).

Welcome to an article about me. My current artist name is Sti2nd.

I started to heavily use LMMS February 2011. I had previously tested in on Linux but the appearance fooled me, and thus six months later I discovered a program on Windows which was amazing. LMMS is a powerful tool and after my opinion, and currently the best free DAW for Windows and Linux. I am a fan of techno, which easily can be made with LMMS, and also of instrumental film music. Instrumental music is not just looping, so I find it extremely time consuming! Calm House music rocks too though. Before LMMS I used MuseScore to create songs... and I have learned music theory through playing the Trumpet (in a band).

My thoughts about LMMS, is mainly that it could be evolved into a huge competitor to FL studio. First of all, that bastard of a theme needs to be changed, and you all know I have a reason not to like it. Then, I guess useful updates and futures should be introduced to constantly improve the masterpiece software :)

Now I am basically just fooling around and trying to help the program grow as good as I can. I have written some wiki articles, made some themes, and now I actually have a lot of fun editing pictures of LMMS. I really wish I knew C++, then I would have the chance to improve LMMS (the way I want it to). So if anyone feel the need to teach me C++, talk to me on [http://soundcloud.com/sti2nd Soundcloud] or [http://www.youtube.com/user/Sti2nd Youtube].
