Impressively powerful for an open-source DAW. Its cross-platform nature means it could be a big contender in the future.

I use LMMS on Win 7 - it is great to use, and has relatively good docs, tutorials. BUT if you want to use a midi keyboard, be warned that the latency is bad, because LMMS does not support ASIO drivers.

I recently discovered lmms and I'm quite impressed! There are few DAWS applications like this for the LINUX OS that are as complete as lmms is. It's got a few "issues" but for the most part, it works very, very well. Note: to get the most from lmms, be sure to install a "Real TIme" kernel! I sincerely hope the lmms devs will continue to improve and support this application and not let it "go by the wayside" as so many other promising LINUX DAWS projects have.

Very promising music composition suite. The project files are text-based and in XML format. Uncompressed project files (MMP) can be edited with a text editor, so that buggy modules can be removed easily. The many features deserve and require a full-blown article of its own. All that in under 20 MB!

Very buggy. It has crashed on me 3 times since downloading it and uninstalling and reinstalling a fresh download changed nothing. Some VSTs work, some do not. VSTs that work in FL studio may or may not work with LMMS. Using the 0.4.13 version. The packaged samples are not all up to par and could use a little polishing. But this is to be expected of most free software. It would be good for demos and such, but for hardcore production, best to go with a professional DAW. I am not saying it couldn't be better, I am sure it could, but for now it needs a lot of work. It also appears to be linux in name only. Attempts to install it on Linuxmint and Ubuntu were met with unwanted MSCorefont installer errors. Or something. AS an aside, the latest releases of Ubuntu and LM seem to be crash happy too. Just my opinion, that is all. If you like it, that's cool.

Just cannot seem to get this working with ubuntu 11.10. Why can't this be a bit easier to install & run?
