LMMS Audio Workstation [Free and Open Source]

[Starwhip]

Finally, something I've been looking for for a long time. From what I've seen in the software and online, you can do ANYTHING in it. The number of options and controls are phenomenal.

Thanks to Endersmens for PMing me with this.

You should take a look at AV Linux, all that - and more... and LMMS is there as well.

Ooh, shiny! I'll think about getting that for my old computer, or maybe as a dual boot for my current laptop when I get my new desktop (eventually).

You mean thanks Endersmens for digging through the interwebs to find it. Took a few searches to find a free software that good.

Why? Just burn it to a DVD and boot with it when you want it ... that's what I do.

Can you explain to me what this does exactly? And then tell me how to use it on DVD?

Heh, yeah. I'm definitely not a musician, so that combined with the fact that I don't really know what I'm doing is leading to some very, very harsh sounds. :/

I've gotten the first two measures of Kerbal Rock on it. It's just synthesized bass drum, hihat, and snare though. Trying to get the rest in.

It's pretty simple. Download the ISO file and burn it to a DVD. Then, when you're ready to use it, boot from the DVD. It doesn't change your computer any, it won't overwrite anything, you're just booting into AV Linux from the DVD. Granted, it would run faster if you installed it (as Starwhip mentions, on another computer or as dual-boot), but there are worse things in life to deal with. After it boots and the desktop opens, you'll be running Linux, you'll have access to all the software/tools AV Linux offers... and it will see your HD, you just access your data on your HD. Anything you create/modify, you'll save it back to your HD. When you're done you just logout (remove the DVD), and your computer will reboot back into your original OS.

It's worth checking out, there's some great tools there.
