I've been very critical of UAD, because it has been so long in implementing the important things that so many people have been shouting, very loudly for, and for years have been ignored and just given up on LUNA. Things like Multi Outs, Hardware Inserts, ARA2 integration, much better, sophisticated midi editing, basic tools and plugins. I have to say though, LUNA is coming along and seems to be at last getting to implement these important omissions. I hope to transfer DAW to LUNA some day as I do see some of those prerequisites, for me, like the new Multi Out function, which was well integrated. I'm glad they've got you involved Steve, you're good at doing this, you are very personable and not a zealot.
This is absolutely awesome feedback. (outside of the kind words, that's awesome too, and appreciated) but just in general, great to see you staying true to your feedback AND seeing it come full circle. It will be cool to get your feedback again when that day comes and you jump to LUNA. Until then, Cheers mate!
This is great, thank you Universal Audio And Steve Kinney! Also I love Steve's channel, highly recommend his channel. He's got a lot of great tips and tricks for mixing as well as UAD based content.
Wow this is the same reason I stopped using Luna cause I couldnt import stems from Logic, I commented my issue a couple months back and now seeing this might make me take a 2nd chance on Luna!! Thank you guys for listening :D
The mixer is my favorite out of all DAWs-it looks great! Please consider adding: Built-in sequencer for easier arrangement Quick access to sound packs for seamless integration Streamlined sound editing feature for on-the-fly adjustments (similar to FL Studio) Video track support And More mixer Inserts for vst's like 15 and a better piano roll. easyier to make notes and edit them. Loading Samples Like in Fl Studio Quickly would help.
UAD do you see how easy it is to prep files in Logic, ProTools and Ableton. Bouncing in place was maximum two clicks. LUNA doesn't even have bounce in place.
I don’t understand why Universal Audio hasn’t implemented a ‘DAW Project File’ export feature, similar to what Bitwig Studio and PreSonus Studio One offer. It’s a much more efficient solution compared to the traditional stems workflow or AAF, and this needs to be addressed!
My thoughts on what is needed ASAP >.< 1.) BETTER COMPING SYSTEM (Ableton & Logic comping is great IMO / I'm also a protools user which i find it great too but not as intuitive) Luna comping feels very outdated 2.) COMPING FOR MIDI (ableton let u comp midi too which is life-changing) 3.) MORE MIDI FEATURES (articulation set like logic will be a killer or some Ableton's midi capabilities) wish to open midi region in new floating window 4.) FREEZE TRACK UP TO INSERT (Like Protools) 5.) FROZEN REGION DRAGABLE TO NEW TRACK AS AUDIO (So Useful when sequencing and programming midi like in Ableton) 6.) IMPORT Selected SESSION DATA FROM TEMPLATE OR OTHER SESSION FILE would speed up a tons for workflow (not just the whole session…sometimes I just wanted a few tracks from my template) 7.) MAKE INACTIVE FOR PLUGINS AND TRACKS to save the processing power (has a lot in my protools template but bypass plugins only does not save the CPU) 8.) MAKING TRACK FOLDER….Like why are we not having this simple feature in 2024? Lol 9.) SSL and Neve Vision Emulation would make Luna top of the game
This is awesome feedback! Be sure to share this in the feedback menu in Luna. Also, just an FYI in case you wanna give this a try and then share some more feedback: - No. 2 does exist in LUNA, it's just track versions. Create a version for your first take, create a new version for your second take, create a 3rd version for your comp. I'll be perfect honest, I'm not too familiar with the Ableton implementation of midi comp'ing you're referring to, and I also recognize that Ableton is the midi champion... but.. still, in case you find it useful - you can give it a try.. - No. 4 does exist in LUNA. Right click on a plugin in the chain, choose freeze up to this insert Track folders would be fun! So would the additional emulations! Cheers!
@@TheSteveKinney Hi steve, thanks for the reply... Is there a way I can see the take lanes all tgt for comping? like any other daw...in luna version is cool but its less convenient IMO....i love luna btw i think we just need to give it a little more time to catch up :)
@@roberteismann1929 Hey, would you mind telling how to make track folder? I can only see group option and the spill function (which is not really the same imo)...but for the organization purpose i like to keep things tidy and tuck away to get more screen estate
@@Banoffeeee hey no problem! 😎 Short answer here. Nope. Best to just keep sharing feedback in that top right corner. That’s the best way to get feedback prioritized. Now - this is just my personal perspective- but what I’ve noticed since migrating to Luna and the way versions is implemented for comping - it’s forced me to use my ears more and my eyes less. That said, I think it would be cool to have the feature that shows all take lanes too. Cheers!
This is a great development. I use Luna daw program on Windows. It has some shortcomings but I believe it will be very good in time. With UAD plugin packages, you can feel like you have a huge studio...
great video, i have gone to using LUNA on everything, my question is, i have setup LUNA on my studio B on a windows PC working great, is there a way to transfer projects from the MAC version to the PC version?
Hai Apex A20! Master tape this plugins put to mater track insert or song insert for mastering. I want teech the ampex how can I using you have any videos
I own the pro version of Luna and recently downloaded the latest update for windows. I cannot even open Luna anymore. Cannot even make it through the start-up process. Hangs cataloging the VSTs'.
Sorry to hear you're having issues. Be sure to get a ticket open with Support, they'll have things for you to try. Go to help.uaudio.com, click on the Support bot icon in the lower right corner and type “create ticket”
Quick question? Why are all the files in stereo? Is this normal? Even the snare and drums are in stereo or double-tracked. When I import from Maschine into Luna, each file becomes stereo. Should I leave them as is or convert them to mono? Does having them stereo just make them louder? Thanks in advance.
@@TheSteveKinney granted I’m not a professional producer, just my own music, and I try to keep the production process simple as to not hinder the fun of creating
Steve, I don't think that what you said about the uniqueness of LUNA is correct. Studio One has had the ability for summing, tape for years through its plugins from Presonus. I do appreciate your videos. It sure would be great if LUNA supported DAWproject format...
We have DAWs much better than this. youre like nokia trying to reinvent the smartphone. Stick to plugins. Convert them to uadx and lets have something positive to talk about. and update the interfaces for my sake.
Exporting from Pro Tools or Cubase to mix in LUNA? Come on! This is ridiculous! I've been trying Luna for a while. I really wanted to give that DAW a chance! - The results I got with the UAD plugins in Pro Tools or Nuendo were so much better than in LUNA! This program is a toy for kids playing mixing engineer! It's pure marketing strategy to sell more UAD stuff!

Go for it !
And drop that feedback in the top right corner.
Great to see Steve Kinney getting recognition !
Love to see it. And the haters were just talking that Luna was abandoned.
Definitely isn’t. Just getting started! 🤓
It was obviously never anything even remotely resembling being "abandoned." Just the opposite in fact. Some people just enjoy talking utter BS,
Great video, Thanks Kinney and UAD.
You forgot about the Reaper users. I have, and use, LUNA Pro, and also working in Reaper
Loving working on LUNA
This was Dope! Form HipHop perspective. I can See LUNA as a LEADING force in the DAW race. The New STANDARDS ..... SneBeatz
Please add a Sample Preview within the Brower?

This was really useful. Thanks.
Cheers mate!
All we need is vca faders, event fx/ render fx(not freeze) and maybe some ara integration and luna is out of here! I’ve made the switch
Yes and Yes.
+1 for render fx
Awesome tip, thanks.
Cheers mate!
UAD do you see how easy it is to prep files in Logic, ProTools and Ableton. Bouncing in place was maximum two clicks. LUNA doesn't even have bounce in place.
This! I want to love Luna but my workflow in Logic is so much faster
Might want to jump in the DAWproject now that Cubase has too, for better integration.
I'm in the middle of switching from Logic to luna. Thank you
Yoooo! Right on!
Be sure to drop your feedback in the top corner of Luna.
Se vier o modo ara , vai ficar lindo demais , tomara que a UAD coloque breve o compatível modo ara
What would be the best way to move a multichannel kit ( smart drummer ) into Luna? Thank you!
How you do Digital Performer transfer? Thanks

Love Luna, i only wish it wouldnt crash so much
I want to be using LUNA so bad but it’s just not all the way there yet per a lot of these specifics in the comments
I just all covert all stems to audio and drag them in. Keep it simple
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
That’s a great way to do it too. And sometimes that makes the most sense.
