What They Say

I grew up using tape and analog consoles, and LUNA is as close as I can get to the sound and workflow of my old Studer and Neve setups.

LUNA lets me forget that I'm using a computer to make music. And the crazy-low latency workflow with my Apollo has further blurred the line between production and mixing for me — I can just make records.

    Far too unstable for serious use

    LUNA has a lot of interesting ideas and concepts, but none of that is of any use when it crashes constantly and locks up when recording MIDI. Also doesn't support VST, only VST3 which is an odd caveat.

    Insert a non-UAD plugin? 50/50 crash. Open LUNA for the first time on boot? 100% crash. Might take another 2-3 tries before it stops crashing on launch.

    Going back to REAPER which has never crashed on me and loads instantly.

    Much better

    I can’t thank UAD enough for this DAW, it’s incredibly easy to use, especially coming from Protools Artist. Everything feels familiar, and the unlimited tracks without paying a dime is a huge bonus. That alone makes it a standout.

    LUNA recording software

    I really like what UAudio made for the musicians. Let's forget that I was a part of a team that time UAudio was developing the LUNA app and think the way of "user-being".

    The easiest way to navigate "on-the-go" through the list of plugins - is groundbreaking solution!

    The best interface ever (I was using many other DAWs for years, and I found LUNA's canvas as good as I would like to have)

    The sound.

    The SOUND!

    This is just amazing and I have too few words to say THANK YOU!

    So, the only thing I would like to get in future is advanced MIDI editor.
