UPDATE:
The LMMS wiki now has a larger and better organized link heaven for you! http://lmms.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Video_tutorials
OLD POST:
What is crucial for, I guess 90% of the LMMS users, is the video tutorials. We got a manual; check, a wiki; check, and a forum; check. The question is: Who the hell cares? As previously written 90 % of the community are probably not going through any of these resources, if they even know these exist. Therefore I present to you: Good video tutorials about LMMS!
If you are a beginner you do a search on youtube and watch one or two videos about the basics. Normally the title is: "Learn how to create your own music for free"... All of these are OK.

A broad audience agrees on that Lazerblade has the best videos. He covers a wide field and is thorough. On this date he has made two "seasons" of videos. You have to have a basic understanding of LMMS and music theory to keep up with his videos. He don´t call it Advanced LMMS for nothing. Start with season 1!

Metalx1000 has made videos too. Beginner friendly I would say. The easiest way to find his videos is visiting his homepage and use the search field there.

Bryce Colson now uses FL Studio but his tutorials remains and they are good. He got 6 videos (drum related) and more on his website. On his website he covers some of the same topics some others. His videos do not cover very much basic LMMS (a little bit of course), but instead focuses on creating good music.

And then there are the rest of them. There are quite a few others who have made tutorials, but not quite as basic as the ones above. A search on YouTube is faster than checking everyone of them, but these might show you some interesting tips and tricks.

Thanks for the honorable mention. :)
ReplyDeleteBut other than showing some nifty stuff I found or figured out in tutorials, I'm usually mediocre when it comes to actually using the software. (I tend to play around more than get stuff done.)
If you want to follow up on an LMMS user worth giving a listen, look up "Exprimamus" on SoundCloud. Provided you like epic orchestral pieces you shouldn't be disappointed. :D
