This means, it is a version that is still under development, which might be unstable. I am using LMMS version 1.2.0-RC7, which is a Release Candidate or beta version. If you are curios, you can check this keyboard and its current price on Amazon in this link. It is a really popular keyboard and it is really nice for beats production.

I am using the MPK Mini MKII to create this tutorial. But it is always nice to have an external controller. You will be able to follow the tutorial just with your computer. Optionally, you could use (if you have one) a MIDI Controller to help you with the music production. You just need to know how to use a computer. So, it is OK if you know nothing about LMMS or any other music production software. And LMMS is free, so you don’t need to pay anything and you can start with the tutorial right away! To be able to follow this tutorial, you basically need a Windows, Mac or Linux basic computer, of course, with LMMS installed. You can listen to the community music in this link. There are even competitions where the best beats are shared in the LMMS official website.

Something I like is that there is a group of people, a community that produces music with LMMS. And it is available for you to use it at no cost. But is has enough features to start experimenting with music production. For example, it doesn’t have many instruments nor samples. That’s why it is not used by professional producers, maybe. Although there are some disadvantages compared to professional and commercial software, it is worth to try it and work with it. It is also a good software to keep making beats and be creative. LMMS is a good software to start learning. It only costs you time to try it, and you will learn something anyway. When you complete this tutorial you will have your first song produced with LMMS. In this tutorial we will explain how to use each section of the free music production software LMMS from start to end. We are going to learn how to use LMMS by actually making a beat. This tutorial is different than other tutorials online. LMMS is a great program for beginners to start making beats and produce music.
