lmms: Render the individual tracks of a project file.
$ lmms rendertracks ${path-to-mmpz_or_mmp-file} ${path-to-dump-directory}
try on your machine

The command "lmms rendertracks" is used to export or render tracks from an LMMS (Linux MultiMedia Studio) project file. It allows you to convert the music or audio composition created in LMMS into a usable audio file format, such as MP3 or WAV.

Here is a breakdown of the command and its parameters:

  • "lmms" is the command-line executable for running LMMS.
  • "rendertracks" is the specific action or task to be performed by LMMS.
  • "${path-to-mmpz_or_mmp-file}" represents the path to the LMMS project file (.mmpz or .mmp) that you want to render or export.
  • "${path-to-dump-directory}" represents the destination directory where the rendered or exported audio file will be saved.

To use this command, you need to replace "${path-to-mmpz_or_mmp-file}" with the actual path to your LMMS project file and "${path-to-dump-directory}" with the desired directory path where you want to save the exported audio file.

For example, if your LMMS project file is located at "/home/user/music/myproject.mmpz" and you want to save the exported audio file in "/home/user/music/exported", the command would look like:

lmms rendertracks /home/user/music/myproject.mmpz /home/user/music/exported

After executing the command, LMMS will render or export the tracks from the specified project file to the provided directory. The exported audio file will be saved in a format and file name depending on the settings and options you have set within LMMS.
