LMMS is a free, open-source, cross-platform digital audio workstation (DAW) for music production. It provides a Song Editor, Piano Roll, Beat/Bassline Editor, FX Mixer, and 15+ built-in synthesizer and effect plugins, with support for VST2, SoundFont2, LADSPA, LV2, and MIDI.
Use cases
- make beats and produce music on my computer for free
- compose melodies and arrange songs with a piano roll
- open-source alternative to FL Studio
- record and mix tracks with a free DAW on Linux
- use VST plugins and SoundFonts in a free music program
- import and export MIDI files for music projects
- create electronic music with built-in synthesizers
When to choose
- you want a completely free, open-source DAW on Linux, Windows, or macOS
- you make electronic music, beats, or patterns rather than recording live audio
- you need built-in synths, effects, and VST/SoundFont support without paying for software
When to avoid
- you need full multitrack audio recording of live instruments or vocals
- you require professional VST3 support or industry-standard DAW workflows
- you need advanced audio post-production for film or podcast editing
