What is LMMS??
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
LMMS aims to be a free alternative to popular (but commercial and closed-
|
|
source) programs like FruityLoops, Cubase and Logic giving you the ability of
|
|
producing music with your computer by creating/synthesizing sounds, arranging
|
|
samples, playing live with keyboard and much more...
|
|
|
|
LMMS combines the features of a tracker-/sequencer-program (pattern-/channel-/
|
|
sample-/song-/effect-management) and those of powerful synthesizers and
|
|
samplers in a modern, user-friendly and easy to use graphical user-interface.
|
|
|
|
LMMS is still in heavy development, so with this version please don't expect a
|
|
complete, ready and bugfree program!!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The most important requirement is for sure a fast computer, so don't try to get
|
|
LMMS working on a pentium I with 60 MHz... ;-) So you should have at least
|
|
500 MHz, but for really enjoying LMMS less than 1 GHz makes no sense...
|
|
(LMMS is currently developed on a PIII 450 MHz...!!)
|
|
|
|
Required libraries are:
|
|
|
|
- Qt 3.2 or higher (tested up to 4.0.0) with devel-files
|
|
|
|
Optional, but strongly recommended:
|
|
- libvorbis with devel-files
|
|
- libalsa with devel-files
|
|
- SDL_sound (tested with 0.1.5 & 1.0.1) with devel-files
|
|
- SDL with devel-files
|
|
- libsamplerate with devel-files
|
|
- libsndfile with devel-files
|
|
- JACK with devel-files
|
|
|
|
For compiling you should have an up to date GCC with g++.
|
|
LMMS has been (successfully) tested under Debian Sarge 3.1, Fedora Core 2-4,
|
|
and SuSE Linux 9.0-9.3 with Qt 3.[23].x and Qt 4.0.0.
|
|
It was compiled using GCC 3.3.x, GCC 3.4.x and GCC 4.0.x.
|
|
|
|
If you have problems with compiling or running LMMS, find any bug or have
|
|
suggestions and so on, please feel free to e-mail me (for mail-address see
|
|
below)!

Join LMMS-development

|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in LMMS, it's programming, artwork, testing, writing
|
|
demo-songs, (and improving this f**** README...) or something like that,
|
|
you're welcome to participate on the development of LMMS!
|
|
|
|
The project-homepage of LMMS, mailingslists and a list of things you can do
|
|
can be found at
|
|
|
|
http://lmms.sourceforge.net
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before coding a new big feature, please always post your idea and suggestions
|
|
about your feature and about the actual implementation to the
|
|
LMMS-devel-mailinglist (lmms-devel@lists.sourceforge.net) and wait for replies!
|
|
Maybe there're different ideas, improvements, hints or maybe your feature is
|
|
not welcome/needed at the moment (but for sure this will be very seldom).
|
|
|
|
If you coded your feature, make sure, that it is running properly with the
|
|
newest available version of LMMS and that it also runs with different
|
|
configurations (e.g. disabled surround-support, missing package(s) etc.).
|
|
Important is also, that you comment your source so that other people can fix
|
|
bugs or improve your feature!
