It’s a smart feature that helps make Luna super-efficient.Īnother innovation is called Workflows. Clicking the Preset window in the instrument’s GUI brings up a list of all the available Presets in the Focus Browser. Or let’s say you’re using a virtual instrument or processing plug-in.
For example, if you press a Send slot in the Mixer view, a list of available sends will automatically show up in the Focus Browser. Contextual in nature, it shows different lists of choices appropriate to what you’re working on. It’s a sizable vertical strip at the extreme left of both main screens. One of those innovations is called the Focus Browser. UA clearly made an effort to address some of the shortcomings they’ve observed in other workstations. UA was smart to see what works and what doesn’t in other DAWs and adopt some of the better existing ideas to supplement their innovative ones, of which there are quite a few. The way you can open and close horizontal sections of the Mixer (Sends, Inserts, etc.) reminds me of the Cubase/Nuendo console.

Selecting multiple tracks in the Mixer creates a temporary track group, just like in Logic Pro X. Its structure of two main windows, the Timeline view and the Mixer view, is reminiscent of Pro Tools, and a number of its essential key commands are the same. Indeed, some of the features in Luna’s GUI will seem familiar. They begin with a proverbial “clean slate,” and can employ the latest technology-and the experience gleaned from using and evaluating other DAWs-to inform their design. One of the advantages in creating a new DAW is that the developer isn’t bogged down with legacy features. Related: Product of the Week: Universal Audio Luna The Luna Landscape
I tested it on a “Garbage Can” Mac Pro running a UAD setup that includes a first-generation Apollo Twin Duo and a UAD 2 Quad Satellite.
#UNIVERSAL AUDIO LUNA FOR MAC#
Some of the optional Extensions available for purchase, including Neve Summing, can enhance the analog vibe even more.Ĭurrently, Luna is for Mac only. Luna incorporates the industry-standard analog modeling made famous in UAD plug-ins to create a recording environment where you can apply built-in tape emulation on every track. Luna is a free application, but you must be a registered owner of a compatible UAD interface. Luna uses the DSP from UAD devices for powering UAD effects and for virtually eliminating latency when tracking. Universal Audio refers to Luna as a “recording system” because of its tight integration with the company’s Apollo and Arrow audio interfaces.
