LMMS: Fruity Loops for Linux

Date May 7, 2008

I had a lot of fun with Linux Multi Media System.  As far as I have been able to find, it’s the closest thing to Fruity Loops that I’ve been able to find for linux.  It doesn’t take a whole lot of learning and is just an apt-get away on Ubuntu.

Here’s a little tune I did with it in a couple of hours:

    Ha, that’s pretty good, and pretty catchy. I prefer using GarageBand for composing my music. How does LMMS compare to GarageBand?

    Thanks, Zac.

    It’s been a while since I used GarageBand, but they’re definitely different beasts. I don’t have iLife on my Mac anymore since I upgraded to Leopard — haven’t purchased it. LMMS is a decent tool, though.

    Your tune sounds good!
    Wouldn’t you post your original LMMS file somewhere ?
    Agree with you: LMMS is a very promising software.

    Thanks
