LUNA is an absolute failure, too little too late and off the charts failing beyond shadow of a doubt, give it up is what I say, sadly, it does sound great and sound is the key but...sorry, it seems no one wants to bother and its behind in so many ways that it cripples your workflow...soudns great but simply SUX a55

​@@alexp2082 Pro Tools, Logic Pro, way more advanced features, Harrison board etc

@@mikehunt576 Horses for courses. Workflows are specifically personal. With an Apollo interface, it works beautifully for me. The interface console software has been integrated into Luna; a big plus too.

@@alexp2082 Seems to be working now.

@@mikehunt576 Poorly constructed run-on sentences, like the one above, rarely lend credibility to the opinions they're attempting to articulate.

Thank you very much. 🙂 There are more on the way.

Thank you very much!! I’m glad it helped 😀

Thank you very much! And I agree, as much as I've enjoyed using a different DAW for many years, Luna has been a very welcome change.

I agree! Both in terms of sound and workflow.

I would be evidence to the contrary. As a professional mixer, I left that nonsense behind willingly and happily. I think UA has totally lost the narrative, making an ancient, inefficient DAW, a textbook definition of a contradiction.

The worst DAW ever. Luring people with that “analog feel” bullshit! This thing is a CPU hog without being useful at all.

@@gregormarini They made a big mistake assuming it would be easy. I can’t think of a more complex piece of software than a modern DAW. I agree about the “analog feel” nonsense. We’ve had endless options to impart an analog sound on our digital recordings for years. UA seems to think it’s about pictures of old gear. It’s incredibly amateurish.

Maby for you,not for me

Thank you 😀

Thanks for your comment 😊 It's definitely the most intuitive DAW I've used. I hope you enjoy working with it!

I agree! Thanks a lot for your comment 🙂

@@mixinglessons I disagree, Luna is a waste of space, sonically mediocre, if you hear something in LUNA that you thin you dont your daw check the BIT rate , try 48khz instead of 44.1khz, luna is 48khz but dont let LUNA fool you with just that, it stinks as a DAW, you have better results with a single Acustica audio plugin on the master bus then adding LUNA to your applications folder to waste space,

Switched to Luna and haven't turned back. I'm even exporting stems from Logic projects and mixing them in Luna

@@CO-ex8uzsame!

No good vocal templates yet tho

You are welcome! 🙂

Thank you!

Thank you very much. 🙂 I've always really liked Logic, especially the virtual instruments. I've been really impressed with Luna so far. I'll probably be switching between Pro Tools and Luna for a while, but I'm definitely moving towards making Luna my permanent DAW.

Thanks for your comment. So far, I haven't run into any problems 🙂 You've probably already spotted it, but just in case, there's a feedback option in the top right corner of Luna where you can report any bugs.

Thanks a great idea, thanks for your comment 🙂

Thank you very much!

Thanks for your comment. I really like having the channel strip extension as part of the mix window. As you say, it feels like a mixing desk. I bought the Pro Bundle a couple of weeks ago, and I'm happy to say that it included the Pultec Passive EQ Collection. 😊

Yes REASON is so much fun and LUNA is fantastic

I just started using Reason within Luna. SO I use the reason rack plugin, and host it with luna's mixing desk, which is a better version of Reason's.

@@trackmasters65 A perfect mix. Best of two worlds!

I’m still getting used to Luna and I use it for tracking instruments like drums, voice, guitar, bass and synth. I still use Ableton for my last edits because I’m still learning it and Ableton is easier for me. So drum programming? Not that I’m aware of but if your recording synths , MPC etc it’s amazing because you can put it through amazing unison channel strips, compressors etc. there is some uad plugins like moog, some synths etc but I’m not sure it is the same like Ableton. Cross fading absolutely. And if you get a sphere microphone you get a tonne of microphones such as the ones you’ve mentioned. You will need an Apollo interface, possibly a satelite, mac and sphere mic plus a couple of thousand dollars on plugins. There is sales throughout the year and bundles that make it cheaper. It’s an expensive route but it’s the best in regards to accessing the best channel strips, amps, and compressors, reverbs, delays etc. it’s a pain in the neck regards DSP. So I do recommend getting an Apollo 6 to 8p. Very least a quad. I have a quad and need to get a 8p soon for extra channels and DSP. But you can Daisy chain devices. It’s more of an audio centric system instead of midi. If I’m wrong anyone please correct me but that’s how I understand it thus far

Yes, certainly - to record and hear what you can see happening in my videos, I record my screen using Quick Time Player to record the footage, and I have the audio output from this system going into an audio interface which is connected to another computer. I also have a mic connected to that interface to record my voice. I then bounce the audio out of that DAW and sync it up with the screen recording in iMovie. And no, I don't have an Apollo. I hope that helps! 😊

Oh Wow, that makes total sense! Which Luna could make it a bit more easier. In other DAWs there is no need to connect to an interface into another computer! But that is a great way to do it for sure! Thanks for your reply and keep up with these good videos :)@@mixinglessons

it can run whatever external plugins you want, in AU (audio unit) format. This includes Waves.

Thank you very much! As a Pro Tools user, I've found it a really easy DAW to use. And yes, you are able to use external plugins. 🙂

Hey, thanks for your question. Something to note is that, when you use the API vision channel strip as an extension, it's not going through the 212L preamp. Instead, there's a line amp in its place. So you would need to use the 212L as you record. However, if you use the API Vision channel strip as a plugin rather than as an extension, you do indeed have the 212L preamp. So there are essentially different workflows to get to a similar point depending on the way that you like to work. I hope that clears things up. 🙂

Hey, this isn't something that I've experienced in Luna, I'm afraid. But I'd definitely recommend using your Apogee hardware to see if that improves things.

@@mixinglessons well I have been using apogee my whole life. I don't know if I need to change any settings for Luna different the I have it for logic. Do you think I should do that? Thank you

@@ian20n Hey, I'd recommend contacting UA to see if this is a known issue, and hopefully they will be able to advise you on the best settings to resolve this.

Most modern interfaces should work - its not just UA hardware anymore.

Hey, thanks for your comment. There are two options for the height of the faders. If you go to the top of the box that the faders are in, you can drag them up to make them longer. I hope this helps.

@@mixinglessons Thank you my friend !

@@kimdiez2681 No problem! 🙂

Hey, thanks for your comment. The API Vision Channel Strip & LUNA Extension come as part of the Pro Bundle. 🙂

@@mixinglessons wish I had seen this before I bought API Console would have saved some money Thanks ! for replying

Hopefully it doesn't crash periodically like Mixbus 32c did on my system...

Finally a win for mac lol

lol thanks I shall click off now

Didn’t realize there were still people using Windows

I think of bookmarks as like saving a snapshot of the mix at a particular moment to recall later. Whereas I think of versions as something you're continuing to work on, which will autosave and have an undo history. So you could work on different versions of the mix, and then within each version, you could have bookmarks which give you a snapshot of the mix at a particular moment.

​@@mixinglessonsthanks for replying

No problem!

That would be useful! I've never really seen it in anything other than Logic, sadly.

@@mixinglessonsreally?! That surprises me. I’ve always only used Logic and assume all DAWs would have that feature. I am looking forward to exploring Luna a little more. Sometime I think it may be useful to write and record in logic and then Mix in Luna. Knowing me I may be over complicating things! (Who me?! 😂) And why would I want to do that you ask? Because sometimes I think it’s important to just go, the track is finished, time to start mixing. I have a tendency to want to keep fiddling with a song, seeing what parts I’ve hidden that I may want to still use, tinker with a performance etc. It drives my producer nuts! As he says, at some point you have to just say t yes song is written, the parts are recorded and it’s time to finalise your mix. Hence moving over to a different DAW to mix. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's definitely useful to have some method for drawing a line under each stage of the process so that you can shift your focus to the next step. And if switching between DAWs helps you do that, then that's a great solution. I think Logic is ideal for writing and composition, whilst the sound and signal flow in Luna is fantastic for mixing, so it makes a lot of sense! 🙂

It's avail for windows now, at no charge

I know exactly what you mean 😊 Thanks for your comment.

It's out for Windows now
