All my applications scale perfectly fine (in that they just don't change their scale factor when moving from monitor to monitor). But somehow lmms scales very weirdly. The main monitor shows the program way too large (like in the photo, that is fullscreen) and my side monitor shows the application in slightly too small scale and the text is miniscule. This video shows the difference between the two: https://youtu.be/r8IIEwjYbEo Does someone know what might be going on here? I'm running Debian 12 with Gnome 43 (seemingly X11) with the website version of lmms (stable)
Well, it's a non-commercial project. There's going to be issues in it that may seem smart to fix, for which there's simply no volunteer. On the flipside, there's other issues that won't get prioritised in a commercial DAW, which are not a problem in LMMS.
As for Wayland support, LMMS works under XWayland and I don't think that's going away in the next decade. But LMMS is also built with Qt, so it's likely not a big problem to get native Wayland support.
Yeah, all of this is great, but it's hard to recommend open source DAW's when they are inconsistent.
Making tracks in a DAW means they should be accessible at least a decade later, for archiving purposes. Stems are great to have, but you need to be and to retain mixing chains as well - because that can't easily be remembered.
I am looking for DAW's to recommend, and as it stands I won't be recommending LMMS until we see the fruits of their labour. No diss to them and maybe they need to seek funding somehow to bridge the gap so to speak.
I'm actually considering switching from Ableton Live to Bitwig, and that's because I want to switch my creative workstation to Linux, but I also need professional features and accountability.
But, I'm also hoping ZRythm will get there in regards to clip launching and automation, so that's where I place my bet.
