Hello, my composer name is Douglas (means much more than it seems). I'm not too new to the forums, but I just barely discovered the existence of this thread, so I decided I would introduce myself anyway.
I've been using LMMS for almost three years now, but for about five or six hours every day. I've been programming video games for eight years, and I originally started making music for my games, but mow I have a much larger goal of making music for Monstercat. I'm 16 right now, and I really need to start composing professionally before I'm 18. I'm having trouble, but I'm sure I'll be able to pull it off.
VSTs weren't working for me until yesterday, so I've pretty much mastered every instrument LMMS comes with, especially TripleOscillator and BitInvader (you can do a crapton of stuff with those two with the right effects).
If anybody would like some tips for LMMS, I'm that one schizophrenic weird guy that knows all the tricks that aren't supposed to work, but do somehow. I'd say I'm above average with mixing, mastering, and anything involving TripleOscillator and BitInvader. I'm also decent when dealing with stereo stuff.
I have Asperger's Syndrome, which makes it so that I think very differently compared to 99% of the population. Everything is an algorithm for me, which both helps and hurts me in music composition. This causes weaknesses of overly repetitive music, and the over-use of similar instruments repeatedly, though I NEVER use presets, and I only use samples for the percussion. Everything else is 100% synthesized from scratch!
(BTW Phase Shift is OP)
