Yeah I thought it would be unnecessary because of the other sites and
projects that already offer free audio tracks (not soundcloud, that site
doesn't have a free2use search system, I was thinking about something
more like this: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music)
About blender, well, it's not that youtubers need a 3D pic as a
background for their videos, they need music xD
Anyway, it was just something I wanted to discuss about. If it's not
needed, we won't have an audio library.
Some audio-software companies do offer loops, tho (like Imageline,
Magix, Sony's AcidPro, Ableton)
What about having them ourselves? Also because LMMS is going to have
better Audio Samples support.
But maybe this kind of things is up to individual users: if any LMMS
user wants to, they create a loop library and find a place to host those
themselves.

Oh... Isn't that what most people use soundcloud for? The only
problem with us offering that service is we would be essentially
turning ourselves into soundcloud and all of the management that such
a service brings.
I do agree that there needs to be more resources available on this
topic, but I think what you are describing is already being done well
by many services, and from my experience, when someone is looking for
music that is free to use, they don't really care what software was
made to use it (right?)
I don't mean to play devils advocate here... but after after
converting the Sharing Platform (LSP) to run on the new domain
<https://github.com/LMMS/lmms.io/pull/66> I can speak frankly about
the effort involved to code and maintain a service like you are
describing.
But maybe I'm over-thinking this... how does Blender do this? Do they
have a "Blender free2use" section? How is it maintained? How do we
prevent blatant self-promotion?

If I understand correctly, stem mixing is something a musician
would do, while I wrote about giving ready-to-use tracks for any
kind of project.
Maybe the part about my videos was misleading: I don't only do
videos about music, I used that Christmas tracks for a commentary
gameplay video.
Anyway that stem mixing is interesting too, and we could also
consider making free/paid "/loop packs/"//to get the money for the
"paid developer" idea and for the lmms.io <http://lmms.io> domain
(or just to spread the word of LMMS).

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_mixing_and_mastering>"?
A good collection of stems would be nice to offer to the users.
We could offer them on our site for download (we have an area
dedicated to downloads already), but we'd need someone to manage
them as the stems often become dated.
From my experience, stems usually accompany a promotional
competition and tend to be most popular around the release of a
track. Also, good stems usually are released by the musicians
themselves and tend to carry a non-CC0 license (attribution is
usually required and most competitions in some way prohibit
certain use of their material).
Also, remixes are a small portion of what our users aim to
achieve when using the software, so if we decide to offer stems
as downloads, we may better spend our time actually creating the
sample pack download add-on that was pretty much abandoned, and
include an area for these types of longer stem mixing tracks.
Lastly, we need to be mindful of how awful our sample-track
implementation is currently. Until that's redone with the 2.0
release (or onward) we should exercise a bit of hesitation before
encouraging track-based mixing with... well.. the
AudioFileProcessor :)

Lately I've been using music made with LMMS that has won the last
competitions for my videos, and I know that a lot of
Youtubers have
their free music libraries to take tracks from, since they
must use free
music to get money.
What about making a LMMS free music Library?
Why:
- Youtubers (and also other people who need any audio track
for any of
their projects, even DJs) can take those and get to know
about LMMS
- LMMS users can be inspired: a music library is normally
divided into
genres or moods or when-to-put-it (music as a background for
videogames/fights/science-fiction etc), so a musician may try
to enter
all of the categories!
- Reference inside other projects: I think that a lot of
youtubers who
uses LMMS music may want to tell his subscribers about it
I know we have the Sharing Platform, but that is for other
lmms users,
as we upload project files and presets, while this is about
uploading
the ogg/wav render directly, and maybe be contacted for loop-able
version or extended mix or remove-that-sound requests.
What do you think? Youtube already has gathered a lot of free
music in
its library, but they don't sound very good imo, while LMMS
musicians
often put their best tracks free for download, so why not
gathering them?
