I've had the Apollo for a few years now with Luna but I have never used either. Do you think that UA are still working out any bugs or is it pretty smooth? It's just me doing one instrument at a time with minimal plugins (when I don't overthink shit) but sometimes you just need to layer 9 guitars and put a birthday cake of effects on each of them.

Why is a problem a DAW doesn`t come with a lot of plugins? there are a lot of FREE plugins out there, is compatibility an issue with some of these DAWs? . How many tracks can Pro tools free and Garage Band use? Any other functionality of DAWS to consider as criteria? Can all of them use Bus channels for example? Thanks

I use the zoom feature by following the Steps Below. For me, I set it to the option key and the scroll wheel to zoom in and out of anything and it works quickly and pretty smooth. When you return to the original starting point, it will go back to normal. Go to Apple menu > System Settings Click Accessibility in the sidebar Click Zoom Turn on Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom Click the Modifier key for scroll gesture pop-up menu Choose a modifier key (Control, Option, or Command)

@@nickiden Absolutely, default Reaper theme is a no-go, like most default things in Reaper. I am sure someone will come up with Luna skin rather soon though. But you can't beat Reaper feature wise. I recently had to compare Reaper vs Ableton for EDM production (time-line based, not live clips) and to my surprise with the same money spent on Reaper and relevant plugins it surpasses Ableton in absolutely any aspect by far. The biggest problem though would be to spend a week googling foruming all the quadzillions Reaper features, addons and scripts....

Great overview! I've been playing around with Luna a bit lately. Still figuring out where and how to do a lot of things that are second nature for me in Studio One. I agree that the screen is a bit crowded (especially on my 16" MacBook Pro screen), but there's a lot that I really like about it. I like that it has a feel of good old traditional recording and it hasn't crashed on me once. There are still a few quirky things, but they keep releasing updates that make it more and more usable - Bounce/Render audio most recently. As far as the expense of the plugins, Spark is a great option if you catch it on sale. That's come a long way as well. I've been picking up their native plugins here and there as they are on sale which makes them very affordable (and no WUP like Waves).

For creating voiceover samples and for recording virtual sessions via Source Connect, are your DAW recs the same? I would seldom need more than 3-4 tracks so track count isn't an issue, just compatibility with SC and with the engineers on the other end. I know they don't take G-band seriously from a previous virtual session I had. Thanks!

That’s a good question. It looks like GarageBand does have capability issues. I think Pro Tools or even the free version of reaper will work just fine with SC

Luna is an interesting DAW. I have taken a little time to play around with the Windows version of Luna. I mostly track with Harrison Mixbus now, which is my preferred DAW. Doesn't sound anywhere near as good as MixBus but it's promising for sure Let's see where UA goes with this once all of the clinks are ironed out.

Thank you very much for the video. I've been trying to find a video like this one and its been really hard because the youtube search would only bring up advertisement videos from software companies promoting their own solution. I'm glad KZbin now randomly suggested this video to me. A bit sad that Cakewalk isn't available anymore and was replaced with BandLab, which is also free but not comprimise-free. I'll still test it out. But I hadn't heard about SoundBridge and Waveform before, will give it a look!
