## Reviews

### "Stay organized as you work with LMMS project notes" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *December 29, 2022* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: One of the standout features of LMMS is the project notes window. It is a handy tool for keeping track of important information related to the music project. I have often used it to write and save notes about my tracks, such as ideas for song structure, instrumentation, or lyrics. Additionally, I record any tracks changes or revisions, which are helpful for keeping track of my progress as I work.The other way I use the project notes window is for brainstorming purposes. When I am first starting out on a new project, it is very helpful for jotting down any ideas or inspiration that come to me as I work. The project notes window allows me to quickly and easily capture these ideas, so I don't forget them later on. Creating beats and fine tuning them has been made easy on LMMS beat editor. It comes with a variety of different drum samples and loops to choose from, as well as a simple interface for arranging beats.
> 
> **Cons**: It borrows a lot from FL Studio hence transitioning to either is easy. However, having used FL Studio for a while, the LMMS seems a little bit dated but presents a great platform for learning about audio recording and editing. Mainly, it is my go tool when starting out any project.
> 
> It is a perfect tool for all projects and especially, the initial parts of music projects that entail brainstorming and coming up with creative ideas.
