I switched to Luna from Logic a few years ago and I love it. I focus on rock (live drums, guitars, etc), and Luna is a perfect fit for that music. I'm not sure about how Luna works out for those working primarily with midi, virtual instruments, and electronic music in general.
100 % agree. For rock its a gem. Very cool toolset to really get nice sound. I started dabbling with it for making midi based stuff but still have a ways to learn. Thanks for the comment!
Personally, I use Luna only only for final mixing and mastering because it lacks in terms of built in plugins like a sampler, virtual instruments or normal EQ, compressors that are not emulation of vintage gear that colour the sound. What I’m doing is that I make my tracks in Bitwig and when everything is done and I get a rough mix that is OK, I export all the individual audio stems without effects to Luna for final mixing and mastering. This whole analog desk and multitrack tape emulation that is integrated within Luna’s mixer is very unique. In other DAWs you have to put those channel strips, bus summing, bus compressor, tape saturators in plugins slots. Then when you are mixing, you have to click on each individual plugin instances to see what’s going on and make changes. In Luna, it’s all integrated within the mixer view, you see what’s going on and can make changes on the fly without having to click every single plugin instances. It’s so seamless that some people are saying that they like Luna’s sound better than other DAW’s sound when in reality the « sound » they are referring to is the combined effect of all those UA plugins that emulate a complete analog desk with a multitrack recorder.
@@Pintosonic agreed. The setup and workflow lends itself to develop a great sound without all the hassles of clicking on each plugin etc. and the color you get is very nice and goes a long way. But yeah like you said a daw just operates on zeros and ones so without any plugins you just have the same sound across the board. Thanks for the comment.
I'm a Logic Pro user since 2012, and I just installed Luna a couple of days ago. Been watching a buncha' videos on it. I guess we'll see how it goes. 😀
It seems legit. I'm definitely a fan of the summing and being able to slap on saturation on every track so easily if needed. I don't think I'll ever stop using Logic, but knowing more then one DAW aint a bad thing.
I had to uninstall it. It was very slow and clunky on my computer (and I'm maxed out at 16 gigs of memory , with a 1TB SSD internal hard drive - Late 2012 Mac Mini running Catalina) I just installed Tracktion Waveform Free, and am seeing if that has any potential. I'm looking for a free DAW I can recommend to my son, who's on a Windows platform.@@Jamusictv
Never used UAD plugins until they introduced their native UADx format Purchased the Signature Bundle and LUNA Pro without the NEVE summing (available only with hardware) to produce gritty electronic industrial music AWEsome DAW if you want that DM SOFAD vibe
I used UAD back in the day around 2005 ish but then skipped on them when I realized they are milking the dongle aka UAD process marketing model for far too long. Especially when the cpus go better. Glad they came around.
For a beat maker like me, the lack of a dedicated sampler where i can trigger my own samples like kicks and snares is a no no for me. I can get by with a third party sampler but... I don't know... Secondly, how am i able to edit pitch of a vocal, i can use a third party plugin like melodine, but it has no ara integration.
I've been buying lots of universal audio stuff for the last 6 months... The quality is superb...
Their quality is insanely good. I'm glad they switched up their business model, because I'm slowly becoming a fan again.

I been using Luna for light editing and I love it.. I gotta dive more into it this week...UAD always delivers in quality... they are top tier
Nice. Same here. Been learning more lately and it’s impressive.
@@Jamusictv I wish there was more tutorials.
Agreed. Not many so far.

Loved luna I just need my slate template I need in there , but no time to do it . Still with logic for now
Luna is really cool. Slate digital template ?

You are right. It limited in its current state. Considering in like Logic and other DAWs you have those features baked in.
@@Jamusictv exactly...
Im not an "Avid" user you said LOL
I’m not lol
