I like the idea!
I agree that we should do it after most of the bugs and common features
(MIDI, just to say one) are live.
By the way, these monstercat artists, what kind of genre do they
produce? Are they fixed in one or not? I believe that some genres are
easier to do with some programs...

I've had this idea for a while but haven't pitched it, because I don't
think now is the time to do it. Of course pitching it doesn't mean it
has to be done immediately though, and this way I can get feedback on
it, so here goes.
I'm thinking that perhaps we could contact semi/professional musicians
who produce in other DAWs and see if they would be willing to try out
or even produce a song in LMMS. Since they're probably very familiar
woth their DAWs, they should be able to provide feedback on what sort
of features they're (hopefully not) missing in LMMS.
Of course one issue with this is that at the moment, we have tons of
requests, features, bugs, and so on that are "on the radar" or
"planned for 2.0", and it's not exactly useful for artists to tell us
what we already know. That's why I've been considering this as a post
2.0 initiative, so we know what to work on next.
Another issue is the possible negative effect this could have on
LMMS's image if done wrong (which is the main reason I'm asking for
your opinions). I'm thinking of a text along the lines of "Hi! The
open source DAW LMMS recently hit version X.Y, and I'm wondering if
you'd be willing to test it and give some feedback on what we should
work on next". What are your thoughts on this?
As for which artists to ask, personally I was thinking of some
monstercat artists (you've probably never heard of monstercat, it's
VERY secret, and exclusive /s). This is because:
1. I like their music.
2. I think they're at the right balance between "big" (professional
feedback) and "small" (easy to contact/get a response)
3. I'm feel like/think there's a higher concentration of people who
are interested in producing in the Monstercat fanbase than in, say,
the Avicii fanbase. I'm not sure of this, it's just a hunch.
Of course if we do this I think more people than just me should reach
out to their own personal favorites so we get a larger sample
size/variance.
So, what do you think?
