    If you want to do any loop and sample work FOSS style, then I’d highly highly recommend Bespoke Synth, easily the best FOSS modular DAW out there

    It has a bit of a learning curve, but once you’re over it then it’s a pleasure to use and easily the best open source DAW I’ve used so far (and I’ve tried alot)

    Biggest thing it has over LMMS: VST3 support, so you can actually use modern synth plugins like Surge XT, or dynamic EQ plugins like ZL Equalizer, or lo-fi plugins like CHOW Tape and MAIM

    Although, there is a FOSS workout to get VST3 working in LMMS using KV Element, which you can load as a VST2 that itself can run VST3’s.

    I use to use that before Bespoke but it was very much a workaround, and I had this infuriating annoyance where KV Element would just send pitch-wheel signals to everything and detune my synths without me knowing, and I could not find any reason or fix, so I just stopped using LMMS in favor of Bespoke

    Hope this helped!!!

      Bespoke looks really interesting, but I don’t know if my mind could work that way. I’m a project manager, so seeing the entire song is the only way I think i could work. I’ve just recently become used to working with nodes in Davinci and I still prefer not to use them.

      It definitely helped to see what is out there, thanks for the great write up too.
