I just had one of the moments, where I got very annoyed, and I was about to fine tune my pc with an axe.
Looking in lmms, rtfm, look in lmms, rtfm look in lmms rtfm and so on.
Then using google, it seems there is something missing from lmms.
The vestige, to load vst plugins.
Does anybody know a solution ?
I found an old topic on the openSUSE forums, and the suggested solution, was using the pacman repo.
So I opened YAST, but only to find I am already using the one from pacman.
I am still shocked, because I used vestige before, and it worked reasonable well. ( besides it sometimes crashing )
Not sure if it was on openSUSE 12.2 or 12.3
Currently I aam on 12.3
Using google I know I am not the only one, (I found people using ubuntu having the same problem.) but I could not find a solution.
Should I maybe report this to packman or the lmms forums ?

Using YaST > Software > Sofware Management , I fount the package lmms (from OSS as wel as Packman) and it says there:
lmms - Linux MultiMedia Studio
LMMS is a free cross-platform music studio which allows you to produce music with your computer. This includes the creation of melodies and beats, the synthesis and mixing of sounds, and arranging of samples.

Ah. I thought it might be a fork of xmms. But there is no “vestige”.

Most songs are clearly made on a computer ( they sound perfect ) which not everybody likes, but there are tricks,
to make it sound more like its played by a person.

My asnwer might be wrong because I do not know anything of the products you use. But when you have a problem with a product on openSUSE and people have the same problem on Ubuntu and the problem persists with different ways of installation, then my conslusion would be that it is a problem in the product an not in openSUSE.
Thus you better go upstream and try to find out who makes the product and if there is any way of reporting a bug or getting support there.
After installing openSUSE 13.1 and LMMS, vst’s were not working.
I just found out what the problem was. I had to install wine.
Vst are plug-ins for music programs. You can import drum computers and synthesizers. Most or all are .dll files though (windows files)
That why you need wine for them to work.
Not all these vst work on Linux. There is an online list of what should work, but you can always download one and try it yourself.
This might cause problems though. Which you porbably can solve by killing lmms through ctrl + esc.
You can play youtube vids in vlc, but the important part related to this topic, you can then lower the speed.
Still its giving me an headache, but:
Never surrender never give up.
See how simple it looks on you tube:
The part were I am always struggling, is how long to hold a note. (speed)
1/4 1/2 1/8 1/12 1/16 1/32 1/64 ? This combined with the beats per minute, makes it hard at least for me.
And I had even some lessons about sheet music at school. But that was long ago.
I am considering to take keyboard (music) lessons.
I found lessons were they teach how to play a song you hear on the “radio”
For those interested in LMMS, there are great tutorials available, to help you get starting,like this one. ( but he does not show the ritme, just the lead) How to make Popcorn in LMMS - YouTube
One question though: Are there more “musicians” on this forum ?
