Reid so strong that he makes MIDI tracks just by staring down the DAW

[@Gainsforlife]

Really next level stuff

[@DivinaaCreative]

Every time Reed says DAW Universal Audio: ITS NOT A DAW!! 😂

[@brennanoconnor2268]

The longer I watch, the more real the puppet becomes. I just got my first Apollo unit. Looking forward to delving into things. Thanks for the vid!

[@Miml2010]

When he starts rocking out laying the 808 and at the end, it's the best thing I've ever seen!!!!!

[@patrickwilliams1886]

I totally enjoy your videos man!!!

[@LuisHernandez-dy1rq]

You are a master ! Great stuff . You make it look effortless

[@suparickyprime]

Dude, I couldn’t stop laughing at your head banging! Brilliant

[@holywaterandgreentea]

excellent thanks

[@loukes116]

When you started thoomin at the end (around 12:15) I was dyyying bro

[@GarfRichards]

Yes, it's very good; albeit a tad bit buggy, but that's to be expected with version 1.0. I like it, also as a previous Pro Tools user, the keyboard shortcuts are almost like for like...

[@Max91199]

this beat is absurdly hard

[@jkru8684]

Fire

If I ever have to hear, “Oh this guys is as handsome as me” I riot

[@migibeats104]

Did you use contact as muti outputs or stereo/mono?

[@draixtube]

Ídolo

[@Itseightysix]

HERE AND READY LIKE A HOT POCKET

[@techknowbabble]

This is as free*, like Mac OSX, free with hardware purchase! Everything keeps saying free not free* until after you've click into the video.

[@allyssaearly-mccullom4964]

This reminds of the soundtrack to The Hidden Kingdom.

[@cohenreyes1499]

Oh no this is a first for me, a puppet producer

[@adl0815]

So, did the Neve Summing technology happening on this track? Would love to hear your opinion on the whole Neve summing!

[@ReidStefanMusic]

adl0815 didn’t use it yet. I will in a mixing video!!

[@ProdByMeek]

@@ReidStefanMusic cant wait for the mixing video!

[@turfoid7899]

reid, I wanna see a video of your post production, a behind the scenes thing, maybe a patreon addition or something. Id sub to see that. =)

[@dergoathighscore170]

What do you love More pro Tools or ableton?

[@MixedBySwiss]

Yo Reid been obsessed with your videos recently because I just purchased a starting home studio setup it's my first every experience running any daw in my life. I am running a slightly older version of Adobe audition with some nice plug ins such as medolyne, and I'm starting to feel like upgrading might be in my future. What would you suggest I upgrade first? My mic is defiently something I've been eyeing; so maybe in terms of just daw/computer upgrade, or anything for that matter what do you think I should do next? And how would something like this compare to what I have wih my older adobe audition? Love the vibes bro thanks

[@MixedBySwiss]

For context I'm also not involved in making beats at the moment and am just doing vocal recording and mixing, and the end of my question was basically asking how this daw would compare to what I'm running currently

[@ReidStefanMusic]

Definitely upgrade your software and interface first. Those will make the biggest difference in your recording and producing quality. Update your computer later when you're experiencing CPU limitations. Luna and Apollo are bundled in 1 purchase, so it's my new #1 recommendation for beginners.

[@MixedBySwiss]

@@ReidStefanMusic thanks man much appreciated !

[@chumpyt]

Reld Stefan! How the hell were you able to get urban beats to show up as a library in Kontakt?? I can't seem to find a solid answer online...

[@ReidStefanMusic]

Kontakt version 5.6 has the option to import custom libraries. Everyone with a later version has to import the library from the file browser

[@MKD371]

The piano is called Ravel, after the classical composer Ravel.

[@teddavis1235]

I just got an apollo twin x but I cannot figure out the shape in luna. Are you producing sounds with the laptop keyboard or an external midi controller. If the latter how is it connected

[@vacuum7479]

connect your USB midi controller to your laptop, i use a cheap Akai MPK mini. sorry to reply 3 years too late!

[@yusufjouini3481]

1:16 Oh, my name is reed

[@turfoid7899]

so, is this like, pro tools meets garage band? or more like its own thing?

[@ReidStefanMusic]

Exactly. It’s an extremely simplified version of protools with a modern/simple visual appearance like GarageBand

[@Han414]

can you review Cakewalk by bandlab as well?

[@1Techie_]

Ed Liu cakewalk trash

[@raelemmanuel6912]

Reid you aint slickkk i know you did your research! dope tutorial though lol

[@ReidStefanMusic]

Rael Emmanuel before recording this tutorial I opened Luna to update Whole Loops UAD vocal sauce templates for Luna. They are available now for all pre-existing UAD vocal sauce owners! this was the first song I ever did 🔥

[@trapptunezz4512]

Top 5 universal audio plugins

[@Dimelo_Rai]

How to put Kontakt with Whole Loops? I need this 😩

[@picassot.v3800]

Can and interface be used on that and also can u do a vocal tutorial on this?...

[@ReidStefanMusic]

LUNA requires an Apollo Interface plugged in to a Mac to open

[@user-wn4ci7bh2d]

How should I do to keep the Whole Loops Kontakt library in Kontakt instead of always adding them manually? Thanks

[@ReidStefanMusic]

Here’s the official tutorial! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZSkYWaLjbFqiK8

[@user-wn4ci7bh2d]

Hey Stephan, thank you for the prompt answer! It doesn't work :( I am using Kontakt 5.8.1, does it make any difference?

[@ReidStefanMusic]

Yes you need 5.6 as the tutorial states. They removed the “add library” feature after 5.6

[@DJURBANBG]

you made HOT beat like its nothing..

[@dovane9932]

Can you give us the name of your «all time UA reverb» please?

[@ReidStefanMusic]

EMT250

[@aalxiibro5741]

looks fimilar to pro tools rather than ableton. i would love to use this DAW someday when I'm free.

[@ReidStefanMusic]

Hari pun it definitely looks and functions like a minimalistic ProTools 🔥

[@Blemji]

Hey Reid, is it possible I have bought the urban beets bundle but don’t have a log in?

[@ReidStefanMusic]

Yes customers who made their purchase before we launched the log in system in September 2019 need to sign up for a new account. Once you’ve created your new username and password, email it to [e-mail], customer support will add your old products to your new account right away

[@Ekeezee]

What laptop is that?

[@alainjulot3490]

You almost break your neck on that 808 lol

[@LeonMilla]

just bought the disrespectful 808 pack 4 days ago and Kontakt is not included. is there a way to update the pack so that I can open it in Kontakt?

[@ReidStefanMusic]

Pre-existing customers can simply Log In to their wholeloops.com account, and download it again to get Kontakt Library files

[@MMM19901993]

Where did you buy the lamp?

[@user-ok9mp5gr7z]

Miamiranda Celinder amazon has it. Just search jellyfish lamp

[@QUDASCIENTISTTV]

So does Luna support soft synths like Nexus and Omnisphere?

[@arti5musicc]

Yes

[@henriquebarreto9318]

I just wish I had an appolo rn 😭

Do you sell instrumentals? If so where?

This is dope for a free vst

[@superwetbox]

I think I'm happy with my 100% Legit copy of Ableton

[@Ozus03]

It only works good with Apollo?

[@ReidStefanMusic]

It requires Apollo to open Luna. They function very well together

[@Ozus03]

@@ReidStefanMusic ok, thank you!

[@drfleka]

it's free as MacOS, only if you have their hardware...

[@brunoguanabara7365]

Free?

[@transcendentdrummer]

Bruno Guanabara for all thunderbolt Apollo owners

[@Itseightysix]

Yes free for Apollo owners and only for Mac

[@TheRTM]

😂😂😂

[@allyssaearly-mccullom4964]

I wanna see you use LMMS. Its a free Daw.

why there is a windows laptop i wonder

[@altgr391]

hmmm it seems like a hackintosh

[@guidosc3470]

„Rave-El“?! XD SERIOUSLY ?! One of the greatest and most famous composers of ALL TIME(!!)- is Maurice Ravel (French guy ;) .. do you know this guy called Beeathoven xD

[@guidosc3470]

Funfact:your beat even “vibes” like RAVE Ls “biggest hit” :D.. the “Boléro”

[@killertame5163]

Robin Hood - type beat

[@verse2747]

Recently dropped a track, check it out if you'd like

[@JayfkProductions876]

Suuuuure it's free for the low low lowwww price of a UAD Interface 🤦‍♂️

[@ReidStefanMusic]

It's definitely free when you compare it to the costs of Ableton, Pro Tools, Logic, or FL Studio...

[@amobeats8088]

Reid Stefan Logic costs 220€ and that’s it. Logic still hat the best price on the market.

[@ProducedByCyrus]

idk how to setup kontakt in ableton...total pain in the butt.

[@ReidStefanMusic]

Use Native Access app to install Kontakt, Enable VST and AU plugins in Ableton settings. Follow this tutorial to install my Drum Kit presets kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZSkYWaLjbFqiK8

[@georgethompson1535]

Bruh this isnt free you need the interface plugged in at all times :c

[@PatrickPleau]

You're clipping your tracks and master disrespectfully

[@BeastlyAnteater]

When you realize you spent $50,000 on gear and plugins just to sound like you’re 3 steps behind a Pierre Bourne type beat made on FL studio free trial at the public library computer

[@bachelorgamer8001]

Why you lying ?

[@Arsonloke]

Obviously a sponsored video smh. Just keep it real man

[@santiagoszelenko411]

Clickbait, it's no properly free...

[@blaccteezy]

Santiago Szelenko it’s free after you buy a $900 USD interface and Mac to use it with.

[@glenncohen4023]

Ummm, not free. Do you have an Apollo? No, then definitely not free. It is “free” like the sticker at the bottom of the Sweetwater box is “free”.

[@templarexemplar35]

bruh doesn't know Maurice Ravel smh

[@omfgihopethisworks]

They offer the DAW for free, but then rip you a new asshole with the plugins. On top of that this is expected to be used with UAD hardware.

[@ReidStefanMusic]

Luna is a DAW for Apollo users. You're not forced to buy any premium UAD plugins. Use any of the Audio Units you already own inside Luna instead of purchasing premium UAD stuff. The Half-Time plugin I used in this video costs $11 and worked great

[@billyhughes9776]

Luna's def a nice DAW,....but,.....it is not free.
