LMMS Audio Editor Software For Linux

LMMS is a digital audio processor that is quite popular among users because of its ability to process audio as well as features it offers. LMMS is a Linux Multimedia Studio that is developed for Linux users, but users of other operating systems (macOS and Windows) can also taste it because it is a cross-platform application and free to use (open source).

If on another operating system there is a digital audio processor commonly used (FL Studio) then this LMMS can be said as a free version of FL Studio. LMMS itself offers features that are not much different from FL Studio and can be called to have the same ability in processing audio.

LMMS itself supports almost all Linux distributions, so almost all can use it, especially this application can be classified as a lightweight software that can run on a computer with a standard spec.

Linux Multimedia Studio Audio Editor

The interface offered is quite friendly and easy to understand, but to produce maximum audio still requires the expertise of each user. Most LMMS users say that this software is at the top for similar software, apart from paid software.

In other cases, LMMS can be equated with Adobe Audition which is also other paid audio processing software. Although most Linux users use Audacity for comparative affairs with Adobe Audition, but LMMS also offers the same capabilities.
