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.

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!

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 ?

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.

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?
@AudioTechTV 2 ай бұрын
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.

***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
@eye776 2 ай бұрын
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.

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.

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.

if I record with a high buffer size like 2048 or 1024 the audio track sounds out of time... do you know why?
@AudioTechTV 2 күн бұрын
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 .

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 🙏
