Reviews

Absolutely love it!
This has been a game-changer for my workflow. I switched from Studio One after using it for ten years, and it -did- take some time to learn, but it's been wonderful ever since. I do have to say that running it on Win11 is useless, but runs great on my Mac Mini M4. I don't know how they do it, but everything has sounded so much better on Luna since I started using it. The only thing I miss having is the "Projects" page that Studio One has, which is the only reason I still use it.
Music background: Gigging musician, home recording artist, session artist.
Upgrading my Review
I initially gave Luna 1 star because it is a cpu hog and wouldn't run on my MacBook Air M1. While that remains true, I later bought a Mac Mini M4. I have to say I am impressed on the M4. I find the workflow very intuitive for this hobbiest, more so than a handful of other DAWs I tried. Also, Luna is easy to get a great analog sound out of. My wife agrees that acoustic guitar and vocals sound much better, easier to get a pro sound. Maybe it's the unique integrated Neve summing (purchased separately)? Bottom line is I'm now enjoying more than I thought. I'm making this my primary DAW.
Luna Pro 2.0
It's a great DAW. Universal Audio has really stepped up their game.
ua please fix

look this is not a bash on ua i love them but luna pro on windows with a very nice pc just bc it crashes when u dont need it to like recording a track when ur bout done recording and go to stop recording it freezes and crashes and u lose all the work u put in not great and i truly love the daw but theres alot of work to go before i make this my main daw

Crashes Unstable
Luna just keeps crashing, I think some vst plugins are not compatible. At this point I can't even open the program.
I imported the stems to Studio One and I had no problems.
Luna could be a great program but there are too many bugs, and it is not as user friendly as I was hoping.
