Q
Can I sell my song that I made in LMMS?
A
Yes. As long as you have just used samples, instruments and effects from LMMS, or know that the external material has correct licences, you can sell your song created in LMMS.
Q
I want to use another soundcard than the default one with LMMS. How to achieve this?
A
It's recommended to set your preferred audio-interface and it's parameters using the setup-dialog. If this doesn't work for some reason, you can also set the environment-variable "AUDIODEV" to what ever your audio-device is (e.g. /dev/dsp for OSS or surround40:1,0 for ALSA).
Q
I want to import MIDI files but it tells me I need to specify a default soundfont?
A
First download a soundfont for free from the internet. Then in LMMS go to Edit --> Settings --> Paths (folder icon). Under the "default soundfont file"-section, you can browse for the downloaded file.
Q
How do I edit the locations in the sidebar when you open a file in LMMS?
A
Highlight the folder that you want to be on the sidebar, select it, and drag it to the sidebar.
Q
Is there anything commercial to which LMMS might be comparable?
A
LMMS seems to have much in common (at least in principle) with Apple's Garage Band, FL Studio (formerly Fruity Loops), Logic Studio, Beat Machine Pro and similar powerful audio tools. In terms of capability, LMMS easily matches the lower to middle-tier professional tools available, making it a great introduction to audio production which is constantly developing.
