LUNA needs a sample preview browser.

[@athonygraham8353]

Hey, this is great, thank you. LUNA is OK for Tracking I guess, and it's got so much going for it. For many people though, it's just not there yet and given the following is still nowhere to be seen after all these years, it's safe to assume they'll never get around to implementing these things and they just don't want to do it. You can't use your outboard hardware, as there are no time compensated hardware inserts, which makes it redundant and useless for anyone wanting to use outboard. No ARA2, no multi outs and the editing on midi is useless as there is no info regarding note details. I can't understand UAD for ignoring and not implementing these things, but I guess they're just marketing LUNA at beginners. I've heard them talking about switching between DAWs and LUNA to use the basic functionality that isn't there on LUNA, but who would do that? I don't have time to mess about doing that and I don't think I'm the only one.

[@DistantSunStudios]

@athonygraham8353 - thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment - I really appreciate it! All very valid points, and I 100% agree, you don't want to be switching from one DAW to another. I know that both VI multi-outs & hardware inserts are highly requested features for Luna. Here's a link to a clip and the full interview that I did with Drew from UA earlier this year - I asked him about both of there head on. 😉 Have a great day and thanks again!

after i select a section to loop, how do i keep the area i selected when i click to locate to a different area on the timeline?

[@DistantSunStudios]

Hey, thanks so much for watching and taking the time to ask the question. Could you let me know a little bit more of what you’re wanting to do? Are you looking to drop in on a recording, then loop over the selected area? Thanks again for tracking out & only to happy to help if I can 👍 Matt

[@tbonebeats6429]

@DistantSunStudios Hi Matt, I'm mainly producing music using midi. for example, i set my loop for 4 bars, then record midi. When I click anywhere on the timeline the 4 bar loop markers goes away. I then have to reselect the 4 bars again to make it loop. In studio one the loop markers stay no matter where I go in the timeline.

[@tbonebeats6429]

@@DistantSunStudios I found the answer on uad site : To make the looped region stay when you click on the timeline in LUNA, you need to disable the Link Edit/Play Selections feature. Here’s how you can do it: 1. From the LUNA menus, choose Navigation > Link Edit/Play Selections. 2. Alternatively, click the Link Edit/Play Selection icon on the Bars and Beats ruler. This will allow the looped region to remain active even when you make selections on the timeline.

[@DistantSunStudios]

Hi @tbonebeats6429 - thats great! I did have a look at it just now, and the main things I noticed are: - if you drag to create a loop at the very top of the screen - actually on the loop section (above BAR | BEATS), this will create a yellow area for selected the loop. - To the right of snap button, if you enable the "link edit / play section" icon, you can now position the playhead to move around the session and playback away from the loop. But if you go back the loop that will still be highlighted yellow (that you created before) and click on it, the loop will come straight back. - On the actual loop, you can also adjust the in and out points by dragging at the start / end, and if you select the loop and then hold down the mouse - you can drag to loop to another position in the time line. I hope that all makes sense! Have a great week, Matt

[@DistantSunStudios]

@@tbonebeats6429 I hope you had a great week and the music is going well! Following your question, I made a video around Loops (and included your question). It's something I'd like to do more often in the future when I have time. It goes out tonight at 5.45pm GMT, thanks again and have a great weekend.

It would be so nice if UAD would give LUNA a different set of shortcuts on German (and other) international keyboard layouts. The most basic stuff works, but all the interesting stuff that would really accelerate my workflow is not practical or memorizable on any non-US keyboard. Unfortunately they have not listened to my feature request yet. So if you want to do me a favor, please let them know that this is needed badly for international users...!

[@DistantSunStudios]

Hi thanks so much for watching - that's a really interesting comment! Out of interest, are you able to easily use and remember the shortcuts form another DAW? It's not a loaded question - I just wondered if you could assign the shortcuts from another DAW inside Luna if this would help? Also, I must admit that I use a Stream Deck for most of shortcuts across the software that I use. You can really easily program any keyboard combination or macro - then save it for a one button press. It also saves me having to remember them all! Here's a link to a promo video if you haven't come across them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoDXZWBul5Wchqc Thanks again & have greet weekend! Matt

[@mennigmann]

@@DistantSunStudios Hey Matt, the problem is not the memorising process, the main problem is that the LUNA shortcuts are tailored for US-keyboards. On a German keyboard layout you need to be a finger acrobat to reach certain combinations, while other combinations are not even possible to reach. I use some SSL controllers to which I assigned some shortcuts, but as you know, when you get fluent with the shortcuts on your keyboard you are able to really accelerate your workflow. But if you only can use some of them and they are not layed out intuitively its more a pain in the neck....

[@DistantSunStudios]

@@mennigmann Ah - I understand now! Yes, I totally get that. Out of interest - is the German keyboard layout supported in other pro apps? I also have an SSL UF8 which I use for a few shortcuts. I would be maybe look at a Stream deck - they're relatively inexpensive and you can use them on any application. At least you wouldn't be dependent on the developers to incorporate the German keyboard layout for you in software. I Hope that's of some help and thanks again for watching! Matt

[@mennigmann]

@@DistantSunStudiosyes, Cubase, Logic and Ableton all have shortcut-sets customised for the localised keyboard layout you are using.

[@maschinelab8598]

Nice one, but please, lower the music and pump up your voice.

[@DistantSunStudios]

Thanks so much - so pleased you enjoyed the video! Yes - I think enjoyed the music a bit too much in this one - will take it down a notch in the next video 👍 cheers, Matt
