Linux Multimedia Studio LMMS 0.4.0 RC2 Video Demo

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Website: http://lmms.sf.net

Software: LMMS (Linux MultiMedia Studio), 100% free music composition software for Linux

LMMS has seen big improvements since the 0.3 series. I was surprised to load it up and see more instruments and tools, a prettier interface, and a much more stable music creation system.

Of note are the Vestige VST plugin, which allows Windows VSTs to be used (I tested the Superwave P8 and it worked very well); the C64 SID emulator, Gameboy emulator, and SF2 (SoundFont) import.

I have been using ALSA instead of Jack and can report very low CPU usage and good sound quality.

Apologies for the handheld video!

P.S., the story in the annotations is completely true. I guess I was about 9 years old when it happened.

Linux Multimedia Studio Demo – “Stranger”

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

This is a track put together in Linux using LMMS or Linux Multimedia Studio. All sounds are generated internally and LADSPA plugins are used for all processing.
Song download here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/291159511/Flujotec_-_Stranger.ogg.html

Link updated: 10 October 2009 (10 download slots)

Software:
LMMS – Linux Multimedia Studio

http://lmms.sourceforge.net/

Linux OS

http://www.ubuntu.com/

LADSPA – effects plugins

http://www.ladspa.org/

This is a re-upload to fix some clarity, cropping and sync issues. This IS the last up…until something else comes up. lol

LMMS is pre-release so some basic features are still missing but…THIS IS LINUX…whaaaat!!!
There is something about getting something done in Linux that makes it more fulfilling than doing it in any of the popular OS’s. I don’t know if that comes from having overcome any obstacles or from knowing that your OS can be exactly what you want it to be if you are willing to learn how.

Just installed Ubuntu and can’t see videos? This is a quick tutorial to help you install multimedia codecs and non-open source components, such as flash player and more. Bonus CONTEST with PRIZES is as follows:

If you had the source code to the entire world, how would you change it?

http://www.twitter.com/nixiepixel

Follow and send me an @ reply with your answer. My favorite answer will be announced next Monday and the winner will get some free technology! (Who doesn’t love that!)

What is Ubuntu?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu

Medibuntu -

This popular third-party repository is not affiliated with Linux Ubuntu in any way, but provides many popular software packages (or as they put it, Multimedia, Entertainment & Distractions in Ubuntu) including Acrobat Reader, Real Player, Google Earth, and Skype.

Medibuntu has two components to its repository, free and non-free. The free component includes software which, although it is distributed with an open-source license, it is not distributed with Ubuntu because of legal issues in certain countries that prevent it from being freely available worldwide.
