Always nice to see The Fall in anyone's backdrop. The Fall has been the soundtrack of my life- nothing better. Thanks for the oversight review of Luna- still sorting it out for myself but thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much! I've had Luna for a while and never figured out how to record a track using my guitar. It's better than the demo video that they (UAFX) have!
i have downlaoded luna, however if i open the demosession on top of my screen it says "playback disabled" , i have to go to setings, but i can 't do anything that changes it, any one with same issue?
You should of started with this is a windows system. If it doesnt say Asio .. well asio is windows only. Be nice to get a similar setup video on Mac especially with Macs Aggregate Interface system ability I use alot I was looking for that aspect mostly here but thanks I did learn alot i can translate across so appreciate your time.
HEllo, Zane, i just finisher my 1st class with you,,,I loved it very much. i am going to feed on this,, and then keep going under all your lessons,,, i would like to donate, to you,, where can i?
Glad you enjoyed the video. I don’t really have a donation thing set up but you could do a “super thanks” here on UA-cam. You should see that option near the thumbs up and down area on my videos. Thank you so much. Keep creating! 👊👍
Thanks - very informative. Would I need the Pro bundle, or will all my other plugins work ok? I understand Melodyne only appears as a tiny interface (not ARA?), is that still the case with the current version or have they fixed that now? Thanks!
Is there an option for specifying the location of libraries for VSTs, or does Luna scan the whole computer? (I use a Dell windows laptop and it has two extra drives, one of which houses a majority of my VSTs)
Great video 😉. I start and discover Luna who seems fine. For all the issues like crashes with certain VST3 plugins. I think UA will fix it in future updates, however the crashes can also be linked to the VST3 themselves. For me what is missing is MIDI routing for using MIDI processors, it seems that this is impossible, if anyone knows how to do it ?
I like Luna and I was kind of thinking switching from Logic, but I can't until they let us edit keystrokes. I can't and don't want to learn new keystrokes! I've been asking this for ages.
Not bad to try a new one but It's like trying to look for life on other planets when we have a beautiful planet that we haven't even finished exploring. we already have protools, flstudio, logic, ableton, studio one, cubase. maybe one day other DAWS will evolve. but for now we still have a lot to do with our old DAWs.
I agree I just got into recording and I’m just going through the process of figuring out that all these things are the same being. Do you have a suggestion as what the easiest one to start out is?

@ Thank you for your support and the great tutorial! It really helped me a lot. I’ve been working with Logic for years, but I find Luna a bit challenging to get used to. I’m currently watching more of your videos to get the hang of it. Your content is really inspiring ..keep up the great work!
Not at the moment. I’m hoping they improve their midi tools in the future. But working in the piano roll actually felt like a step sequencer so it’s not terrible for sequencing drums.
Hey Zane, Great video, i did`nt see a freeze control for mixiing midi to audio. but great tutorial on how to get started, i`ve got LUNA but not downloaded yet, thanks👊🤘🙏
I just tested it and Kontakt crashed Luna. I submitted the feedback and I’m sure others will submit too so hopefully they can get that sorted out quickly.
Hi Zane and everyone , I had a problem in waveform free, you know waveform free don't have arpegiator , and i need a clip wav with ARP Luna so I decided create a bass line with ARP so I exported the midi bass shape instrument to file wave and when I open in waveform free like Audio obviously sound slow even when I use the same tempo in both daws , waveform free has given me several problems since I installed but the most strange is that other clips wav sounds fine in waveform free and the i create don't but sounds good in Bitwig, why Zane?
I own an Arturia Keylab 49 essential and because Arturia tells me is a "controller" I can not listen from my computer. What should I get to replace it?
You can get any audio interface. You don’t need to replace the midi keyboard, you can still use it but you will want an audio interface to go with it. Which one you get depends on your needs. If you want to stick with Arturia then check out their Minifuse line. The Focusrite Scarlett series is very popular. Do some research on audio interfaces to see what might be best for you.
Looked good originally, thought I would give it a try. Seems a real nightmare to get downloaded and installed from the website link. So many hoops to jump through, various licence agreements, different accounts to setup. UA connect etc. Can't get into the main programme interface, Just get a box showing LUNA some info about buying plugins and a dowload user manual pdf. Getting frustrated and fed up now. Is it really worth the agrovation. Now I know why you haven't shown us the installation process.
If you are reading please help me as i liked luna and want to use it🙏, the issue is when i choose ASIO, any other app don't play any sound for example youtube(where i am watching a tutorial) it shows audio render error, restart your computer, i did exactly that but still the problem lingers Ps: I don't see any other audio output besides ASIO in luna, unline luna waveform shows couple of sources
Luna will only work with Asio on Windows computers. You need to make sure your bit rate (usually 16 or 24) is the same in Luna as it is set in windows. Also your sample rate (usually 44.1k or 48k) needs to be the same. You also need to uncheck the allow exclusive access check box Here’s a link where I go over how to do it on Win10. It’s similar in Win11 too. ua-cam.com/video/5Jqcm-fDN0I/v-deo.html
It’s a good price. Whether it’s a good deal all depends on if you need/want what you get with it. Basically it’s a bunch of plugins (which are great) plus the api summing feature. The core program is still the same. You can use the plugins in other programs too which is nice so you could also look at it as getting a great deal on a plugin bundle too.
@@AudioTechTV , cool downloading it now , looks like you can try out the pro version for 30 days so , that gives some time to see if I should grab it on sale. What brand of midi-keyboard in your video?
I´ve got this problem, where in the top it says sum like "playback disabled" and can´t hear anything, I changed my earphones twice and still couldn´t work, someone in the same??? ):
What audio interface are you using and what driver type? There have been some interfaces that have had issues early on but UA have been doing updates to get rid of those issues. Make sure you’ve updated to the latest Luna version and that your audio interface drivers are up to date too.
@@AudioTechTV hi no because is more than a Daw is base on uad real hardware and with the summing no one has done it to this level I was with protools since sound tools and I got Luna the first day that it came out during COVID I imported files from PT to Luna and instantly I heard the huge difference. So this is the first time that you can hear the neve the 1176 the LA 2 the Pultec that finally sounds real like it should be . Your video is awesome thank you 🙏
@johnerodz7 awww I see. I thought you were saying it’s not a DAW because of some other reason lol. It is very nice. There is so much potential here and now that they’ve opened it up to a larger audience hopefully it brings in some money so they can continue to develop it. Thank you for watching. Keep creating! 👊👍
***ok. Ok. I should listen to video better!! I go find asio driver for Presonus 😅 Hardware device Luna doesn't see my Presonus AudioBox iTwo, just says ASIO and greyed out APOLLO. But sees midi clock output from Presonus. Any ideas why audio not showing up. Wont open Asio control either
Make sure you have a second audio card and set windows to use that. I think LUNA wants exclusive access to the audio interface and won’t play any sound otherwise. At least that solved it for me.
When you say you do the download. Are you talking about doing the download in UA Connect? If it’s not installing then try closing UA Connect and then launching it as administrator. It should install when it has administrator rights.
Those are really high buffer sizes. The higher the buffer the higher the latency. You want to get your buffer as low as your computer will allow. Ideally do all of your recording before you start adding plugins which will allow you to bring your buffer down. Then when you get into the mixing stage of your project, you can go back and increase the buffer again so you can start adding lots of plugins.
@@AudioTechTV I know very well the procedure you told me... with studio one I can record my bass even with a buffer of 2048 excluding the return and the recording is perfectly in time if I do the same with LUNA the recording and out of time and out of sync . I wanted to know if it's normal with Luna or if some settings are needed... I use a RME UCX2
I tried it, works rly well shortcuts mostly same as in protools, but ich cant render my Projekt. Each time i try to rendern(mp3 or wav) Luna crashed. Even if i try to Bypass most of my plugins it still wont bounce. Do you heard of this Bug or maybe you have and solution?

hi how import drums loops in luna session? thanks.... is there mediabay in luna uad?
I like the workflow for mixin, but for create beats it´s not so good, miss a browser for locate my durms pack or loops
It cool I like how they have the midi editor, but do they have the hi hats the splitting tools.
This looks good but they will have to improve the midi editing for me to make the jump.

Great tutorial, I'm a Logic tragic, but I'll download Luna now for a try out.

Is there an option for specifying the location of libraries for VSTs, or does Luna scan the whole computer? (I use a Dell windows laptop and it has two extra drives, one of which houses a majority of my VSTs)
@Mantukee no vst2 support

You can buy an audio interface from many different places. Amazon and Sweetwater are two places that are popular.

Can you use Luna shape Instruments in any other daw like ableton live?
I don't think so because it's not in VST format, I think it's a specific format to UA.

Not at the moment. I’m hoping they improve their midi tools in the future. But working in the piano roll actually felt like a step sequencer so it’s not terrible for sequencing drums.
Is there no VST2 support? No way to specify which folders to scan for VSTs? Otherwise, I like LUNA. Bought it.
It only supports VST3.
@@maschineco Yeah - I figured that out after I bought it. Shelving for now. Can't even load Kontakt without crashing.

Will Luna work with a HP Windows 11 laptop?
I don’t think it discriminates between brands so it should work. How well it works all depends on the specs of the computer.
