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.

    Pretty good for free

    Slightly fussy UI lets it down a bit. You miss the plugins that aren't there, but they have to make their money somewhere
