Hahaha I knew you were coming back home my brother! Logic I believe will make a quantum leap soon. Ai and VR is calling… Analog Hardware replicas even more.

[@HomeRecordingNetwork]

Hell yea!

I love Luna. It’s far from perfect and needs some major features like external hardware inserts, proper take folders, support for virtual instrument multi-outs, video track support. It seemed like from the time it was released and through the pandemic UA was pushing Luna pretty hard with Office Hours. Then they surprisingly slowed down, focused on guitar pedals, Volt, more mics. All good, but I miss the pace of Luna’s progress. Support for Core Audio and switching between DSP and UADx plugin in the mixer has been the most significant update in a while.

[@HomeRecordingNetwork]

I agree!

[@AJGuy-ev5jn]

Luna is now free for anyone who has a Mac and you don’t even need the hardware to get the DAW!! I haven’t tried it yet but I just installed it and thought I’d let people know

[@HomeRecordingNetwork]

Nice thanks!

[@westwalnutrecords]

Luna needs customizable key commands and logic needs to fix it's first note recording problem via midi. It never syncs to the 1st beat. All other days do this even without quantize on

[@HomeRecordingNetwork]

I totally agree

[@allenlocke1935]

Same here... Logic just makes more sense just looking at it. I would like to use Luna more considering how I got the Neve and API summing it seems a shame to not utilize that more. It's just that I've been using Logic since the old G5 Macs that Luna still feels alien to me even though I've had it for years now.

[@HomeRecordingNetwork]

I feel ya brother

[@snubdawg1386]

i installed luna today and it seems pretty easy ....instead my brain imploded trying out reaper and after years i still have no good workflow with cubase

[@iTrensharo]

Other than not having to connect to an Apollo, I don't see how anything has changed regarding how LUNA compares to Logic at release. Logic has gotten a more impact full updates than LUNA.

[@HomeRecordingNetwork]

I agree

Luna looks cool and I love UAD plugins, but that’s not quite enough to get me to change DAWs. I’ve heard their product sales pitch that there are uniquenesses to Luna’s bus-only “analog summing,” but is there really any sonic difference between Luna’s built-in summing and just using a plugin on a bus in Logic? I own the Studer emulation from UAD, and dropping that on a stereo drum bus should more or less produce the same result. As I tweak plugin chains for specific roles (vocal chain, guitars, bass, drums, and stereo buses for each type), I just save them in Logic as presets as starting points for mixing. I tend to favor UAD native and PSP plugins (love analog fatness and shimmer) for most things. Given the limitless possibilities I already have in Logic, why would I need Luna? Again, it looks pretty and I’m sure it sounds great. It probably does exactly what I would need a DAW to do, since I’m a classic rock dude forever ensnared in nostalgia. But why would I need this? Also, being a Mac guy since 1987, Logic is the DAW most likely to remain supported by Apple hardware, since it’s theirs, and likely to run well within their closed software-hardware ecosystem. The fewer potential problems maintaining a system over time, the better. And since the advent of the M-series ARM-based SoCs, we are quickly reaching overkill computing performance for audio engineering. So … am I wrong? If someone can offer a truly compelling reason to switch to Luna, I’m all ears.

[@HomeRecordingNetwork]

You are not wrong brother. Keep using what you like and are comfortable with.

[@JeffyG]

Well explained 👍

[@HomeRecordingNetwork]

Thanks!

[@alex.keylmk]

Thanks for your comparison! +1 for your channel

[@HomeRecordingNetwork]

Thanks for the sub!

[@TickledPink952]

Do you miss the sound of Luna? Do you replicate the workflow in Logic, tape on all channels, summing on buses etc?

[@HomeRecordingNetwork]

Those features in LUNA are great. But even before LUNA I used console and tape emulations in my mixes.

[@TickledPink952]

@@HomeRecordingNetwork Thanks…I would be very interested in seeing a video of your Logic mix setup compared to Luna.

[@HomeRecordingNetwork]

Should be plenty of those up!

[@jarrodolman5828]

they gave me a free year of Luna with Neve and API and tape add-ons for being a UAD Spark subscriber, I do NOT own any UAD interface.

[@HomeRecordingNetwork]

That is good to know!

[@josephgooch5562]

I also got this recently and am excited to try it out more. Initial tests sounded really good, but I’m just more familiar with logic. The summing emulations are very enticing though

[@miscmisc1023]

luna is already free

[@jarrodolman5828]

Neve and API SUMMING, API Vision Channel strip and Studer A800 are not free, except with the Spark promotion. @@miscmisc1023

[@WayneDawkinsThePartyMan]

Not implementing the feature where edit track selection mirrors mix track selection is bizarre to me. Are you trying to tell me no one has a dual monitor setup. This is the only daw doing this. Very , very bizarre. It doesn't leave me much confidence that they will catch up to the features in Logic and Pro tools in my lifetime. How is it possible for this to be missed. Who are these beta testers?

[@HomeRecordingNetwork]

Not sure lol

[@MasteringSound]

Instability is still an issue as of today.

[@HomeRecordingNetwork]

Yea… that’s why I can’t just trust it yet… too bad though.

[@ChrisWhittenMusic]

@@HomeRecordingNetwork I've been using Luna since launch. I've rarely had any crash, or hiccup. I do not find it unstable at all.

[@EyesOfTruthmusic]

@@ChrisWhittenMusicsame here! Seems pretty stable on my end
