My goal is to make music with Monstercat with LMMS, but even after all this time I'm struggling. I would like to analyze other music made with the same program. Are there any professionals that use it? The closest song to being professional I've heard from LMMS is REKT, but the full song isn't on this site, it's on Soundcloud. They don't contribute project files any more.

Anybody know of any?

No well known composers use it, but "professional" is subjective. I've used LMMS for paid project (some children's books) which would be by definition "professional".

The best tracks we're aware of are on our Best Of albums as well as a few tracks that never made it (most on soundcloud).

Macrowave had gotten pretty close before he switched to another piece of software.

I consider this track by Matt Rauscher to be of stellar quality.

There are also several musicians that use LMMS for teaching and there's an official book from Packt publishing that some of us were technical editors on.

But no big-names yet that I'm aware of.

I know this is a late response, but I here's an example of what I've been able to do with it.

I would argue that it CAN be used professionally if know how to work your way around. A lot of people assume that it's not professional because it's not as well known as FL Studio and MPC Studio.

Does the "VST" count? because I did this in my project "Sunrise of stars" and more or less at these levels I arrive with little RAM.

The best works I think are in "The best of LMMS Vol X", but to be used by celebrities, I do not know. We will have to be the first famous.

Even if there aren't, yet, at the end of the day LMMS is just a tool, like any other digital audio workstation. There's always battles on the internet about which one to use and it's kind of pointless since they really don't enhance creativity or the final product IMO.

That being said, LMMS is a great option for both beginner and pro producers. When I first started making music there was nothing like this around.

Also, something else that is good: It is beginning to get more recognition online. I've found a bunch of articles mentioning LMMS, though they aren't exactly favorable, I think some of the points are valid. Point being that more and more beginning producers will more than likely give it a shot.
