Thank you for listening to us🙏🏾
THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK YOU! I CAN’T TEL YOU HOW MUCH SIDECHAIN MEANS TO ME AND US! The really long wait is finally over!
better every release. thank you for the hard work and the great product. please keep luna free and avoid any subscription models!
Looking really good. Congrats! Still really looking forward to multi-out on plugins.
Thanks for always listening to us, i must say this is a huge step in the direction needed and i am sure alot more updates to come loads of love @UAD
👍🏻
Finally! I'm gonna download it right away.. I haven't bothered with Luna in more than 6 months because of the lack of this features. Thank you! Right on!
Updated today. Was working on a session that I really wanted to side chain some plugs to get some things to sit better. Was sooo easy and intuitive compared to other DAWs I use. Really liking the Luna interface and workflow!!
This is great man 🙌 Give us comping and freezing and a lot of us can quit our current girlfriends for luna
Comping is pretty great in Luna already!
@@jasonwilsondrums5175 Thats copy and pasting…if you’ve ever used SO5 or Ableton Live 11, THATS comping!
Or logic’s comping
@@oinochoe right, if Luna does that…boy I’m gone!
Ive deleted Pro-fools from my pc and mac, as of now i use SO5 Pro, FL Studio, Live, and Logic…SO+FL is my main, i cant mix or edit in Luna when traveling because lots of places i cant pull out my Solo, and Luna wont work without it or no internet, and i do not believe in buying an ilok for one program…Live is for samplerate conversion and a second time stretch algorithm different from SO (They give you Live when you buy SO, sweet) and i use Logic to open my iPad GarageBand projects that i do when mobile on the tablet…so thats my team…Trying to get Luna up to speed so i can at least use it at home or to mix or something…but it’s definitely not mobile friendly
Take a program like logic, you can collaborate with anyone with built in plugins and instruments. What you could do is at least let people with Apollo collaborate by being able to share Luna projects easily through cloud. Maybe make unauthorized plugins work across sessions but can’t be modified once the trials expire.
Thank You UA For This Update! I’ve Asked For The Control Surface! Thank You So Much For Listening To Us!🙏🏽
Oh happy day! Sidechain in LUNA, how I've missed you.
This is great and being Luna it’s going to be awesome. Up to 6 MCU controllers. Side chain support. Further bridging the gap between old and new and you can’t really beat riding an actual fader. 👍❤️
👍🏻
Sidechaining was definitely the most wanted feature by far. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Fantastic news, and let's be straight and put things in perspective; while LUNA updates may be free, if you have the extensions and instruments and whatnot, you've already paid way more than any DAW on earth costs and those DAWs all have many basic and advanced features way beyond those of LUNA included in their much cheaper price. Not to take anything away from UA, it's all great stuff guys and well done! Hopefully you can concentrate on time compensated hardware inserts, so we can use all our expensive UAD hardware units in LUNA as time compensated inserts.
Eff yeahhhh!!!!! This is amazing! So excited! You guys are great! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Now the only thing I miss is HW insert and I/O support to be able to implement my outboard and summing device. 😉
Oh, and freezing/committing 🙃
👍🏻
Great! Now the UAD controller! 💥
Glad to see SSL and Universal trying to improve the remote surface maket with new innovations. Would be awesome to have this for Console as well! :)
See you next week. Great job!
This is AWESOME, thank you UA folk!
Wow big day! Thank you guys can’t wait to try these out! 😁
Started mixing a record in Luna till I realized SC wasn’t possible. One User more from now on. :-) Thanks!
💪🏻
Thank you! Such a great update. I've been desperately waiting for this! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
👍🏻
Finally!! excellent!!! great call guys, this is a must!
You absolute legends. Amazing
(Maybe now make Luna enjoy the company of thunderbolt monitors…..)
I’m loving LUNA but I’m still occasionally jumping back to Logic or Live due to customizable shortcut keys; It was painful remapping spotlight search and I’m surprised we still can’t change any keyboard shortcuts! Please add this next!!
I know it’s not close to this kind of physical hardware but I use an iPad Pro as a second screen for my MacBook Pro so I can use it as a touch screen for the faders and everything and it actually works great for me personally. My MacBook Pro has the Touch Bar on it too so it give me the option to control volume on hi-hats, toms, bass drum, etc… I am interested in this but it’s something I’ll have to think about. I have Luna that I got for free, thank you for that by the way. I haven’t used it yet though. Im using Logic X Pro with Ableton in Rewire Mode into UAD where I use the UAD faders and UAD effects and plug-ins from my Apollo x8 but I haven’t tried Luna and I’m not sure how I’d work it into my setup (again Logic X Pro with Ableton in Rewire Mode. I do want to try Luna out though. I watch all the videos I can on it. Maybe an expert can help me figure out how to integrate it into my existing setup.
How does playback latency play into this and how can we correct for it? For example: delay between writing volume automation to the delay compensated playback and how it’s actually recorded on the timeline? Thanks UA! Super excited to use my control surface. 🙂
Really good question!! @UniversalAudio please reply!
Maybe if Luna reported the total delay compensation of all native and UAD dsp plugs, we can just write and nudge back (or if that was done automatically maybe better since adding or removing plugs during this process would change the delay value?) Not sure if there is a way around the playback latency. Thanks again so much for all that you’re doing. LUNA is awesome. 🤘🏼
My Icon Platform M+ and X+ works! Thank You!
THANK YOU GUYS!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you UAD team & SSL.
👍🏻
Amazing !! Thank you for your hard work !!
Which control surface would be best for a old school analog gear head to use. I am obsessed with luna and have been waiting for the surface update but do not know which surface to purchase. Something simple and on a budget?
How come the Mackie MCU Pro is not listed although everyone else use the MCU Protocols while the MCU PRO is native.
Crazy exciting about this!!!! 😬👍🏽
Can't wait to check it out. And I guess its time to research the control surfaces on the market.
👍🏻
No need - go get that SSL!
Moving from Logic Pro X to Luna only for better latency and all over sound is what I did. Now that the Mackie control standard is coming to Luna makes me very happy ✅🙏🏻✌🏻
I’ve got to check if my Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 works ? It will work I guess and I will report my experience ‘bout it.
You're joking right? There's no reality on this world where this can come close to logic. Logic doesn't have a sound it's got 64 bit core operation and the sound depends on the plugins that you put in and what you record.. The features are a hundred times more professional you can do anything you want. Everything can be customized controlled and the possibilities are endless.
@@levondarratt787 Tha’ts true, but in Logic there’s no A.R.M. mode with the same ultra low latency as in Luna. So that’s my only motivation.
I feel fucked that I can’t have that same low latency in Logic Pro X with the Apollo X8 soundcard.
Nothing can beat Logic Pro X that’s simply the truth.
Finally! Thanks guys.
AWESOME x 10000000000
Awesome update thank you
will you introduce pitch correction in Luna, and the arrangement of plugins? Thank you for this big update!
Love Luna 💚 can’t wait fot the office hours on this ✌️
Be sure to subscribe at www.uaudio.com/live
Loving this yessssssssss
OK super nice. Does it also work with softube fader and controller? Would speed up my workflow!
So there is only one sidechain input available per track? I wish sidechain inputs could be defined per plug-in...
let's goooooooo
I’m so excited!!!
I called and emailed for years but now I see why they never allowed SC in my Empirical Labs EL8 Distressor Compressor. Well played UA! What is that BIG KNOB thing next to the SSL? **EDIT: Freakin Behringer X-Touch. Will somebody tell SSL.......Nevemind. UA Luna Control by Nat King Cole on the way. BOOK it.
Cant wait for when UAD release a twin with a built in fader port 🙊
Excellent news!!!
Oh SNAAAAP. Not only is this video DOPE, but those Beards!! Severiously tho, they serio!
SC support awesome!!!
Hey folks, Great news! With this 2 missing features i will give Luna a second chance…
Fantastic!, now about those multi outs…
Wow, IT's a big win for me 👍🏾
Yes !!!!
Great news. So to check, if my keyboard supports the MCU, what do i have to search for? MCU Support? I have a Nektar Impact LX88+ which have Transport Buttons for example. Thanks ✌🏼
I know little about Luna, but the key to it’s success will be the degree to which Console is integrated. It’s frustrating using Console with Ableton, having to rely on Console for routing. Switching DAWs would require unique and spectacular functionality.
With LUNA, you don't need Console, it's all handled for you.
You guys rock, thank you for all the awesome things you do
Our pleasure!
Damn, BOYZZZZZ LOVE IT!
So I'm not using Luna, but looking at the SSL UF8 DAW Controler for Logic Pro, I use UAD plugins , have 2x octo core Satalites for DSP with my applo twin. My question is can the UF8 control thrid party UAD plugins?
This is amazing!!!
Please add plugin control next. We need MIDI learn for MIDI encoders to control plugins. The thing I want the most for LUNA is Eucon support.
I want to switch to LUNA as my main mixing DAW but I need plugin control with my MIDI Fighter Twister before I can make the switch. I'd take that over Eucon support, actually.
To make it easier, have a central plugin window that all plugins load into. Only one plugin open on the screen at a time by default. Then MIDI learn can be at the top of the central window.
Heard Luna has great time stretching for audio stem remixing? Does it work for macOS High Sierra Mid 2010 Mac Pro's with a UAD 2 Oct Card installed?
anyone with info as to how to turn eucontrol artist mix to mcu.. they are visible as controllers in Luna and when selected, do nothing.
The only thing i lack atm is being able to delete all unused audio files at once
Indeed, we are aware of the need for this feature!
Holy craaap! Just when I think I've bought too much UAD (2 octos and 95 plugins) they make me believe in Santa Claus all over again!!!
Yes!!! Yes!!! and Yes!! Now all you naysayers can be quiet about my sweetheart LUNA!!
😍
since luna has implemented most of protools shortcuts could you guys please also include HUI support for us that actually use HUI controllers. thanks
We chose MCU because it has a MUCH larger install base.
Hallelujah!
omg FINALLY
YES!!!!!!
Where can one buy one of the UA coffee mugs Ben has? (or any UA swag for that matter!)
Our Reverb store is currently being rebuilt, stay tuned!
Awesome! Will it work with the S1?
Has the question that everyone has been answered actually ?
I saw it in the chat a few times but no answer. So here it is again :
"Is it technically possible that SHARK DSP powered plugins can utilise the sidechain feature or just native AU and extensions ? "
Very cool, thanks ;-) can I use softube console fader 1? Cheers
They are not MCU capable.
Awesome
Sweet. Will euphonix / avid artist series controllers work as mcu too? Plenty of those going around used market.. hmm
That's the million dollar question. With my MC Mix, it's one step forward and two steps back.
Yes, they do.
@@darwinheikes2836 Why do you say 2 steps back? Can you not set custom buttons to function in LUNA with MC Mix. Also curious how MC Control v2 would do.
Can I now use Track Spacer plugin to make my vocals sit in a mastered beat in Luna?
Yes.
@@UniversalAudio I tried it and it works!!! 🙏🏾
@@UniversalAudio do you guys have a plugin like Vocalign Pro 4?
👍🏻
We do not.
Yeeeaaaahhh!!!! 👍🏻 👍🏻 🎸 😀
hi there i noticed you have two daw controllers. and they work together, can you tell me as i got the icon qcon pro g2 plus i have the ssl uc1... i want to have 16 faders but was not sure to get the ext for the icon or get the ssl uf8 to complete the uci link.... i really wqnt the uf8 as it seemed like it has more control over the daw and gives you a lot more tha other controllers but was worried that they would conflict... can you do a stream of the two together or tell me thatcan or cant work together please
What other compressors and plug-ins from UAD can use ext sidechain?
UAD DSP plugins do not support external side chain. Only AUs and LUNA Extensions do.
@@UniversalAudio So I can just use the AU of my UAD plugins (E.g. 1176), and in Luna they will all have sidechain now?
No, only Audio Units plugins (not UAD DSP) and LUNA Extensions.
Maybe I missed something but... what about controlling plugins? Nothing on that in the video nor on the website.
Not in this initial release.
@@UniversalAudio Ok thanks for the info. I know you might not reveale anything about this, but any plans for your own UAD controller? ;-)
Controlling plugins is a must, hopefully that comes soon.
What about possibly allowing for a bus to be selected as an input for printing? dedicated midi window would be cool. tool selection would also be cool (smart tool all the time is annoying) and slows down work flow on small laptop screens with small region heights.
Be sure to submit as Feedback!
@@UniversalAudio Where do I do this?
Upper right corner of LUNA's GUI.
This brings back Digi 003 control surfaces. UAD is only 20 years behind.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Finallllly
Hey, what (if anything) does this mean for Console 1 Fader??
The surface must be MCU and Console is not.
I believe you need to use the plugin for Console 1 in order to control the Console 1.
@@UniversalAudio Thank you!
Would switching from protocols to LUNA be a good idea? Advice from anyone would be much appreciated.
I personally have enjoyed starting songs in LUNA then finishing
Them in Protools. Just because of what I’m used to. I like the creative flow of LUNA for starting songs. But protools has the upper hand with editing IMO. However - LUNA has fixed the annoying problem in protools where you can’t
Solo a bus unless you solo safe all the tracks being sent to the bus. I don’t know why protools doesn’t fix this. It’s so annoying to press solo on a bus and to hear no sound haha
@@nolanneal thank you for the tip. Much appreciated.
Great ! So if I get the Presonus Faderport V2 ... I can do that on Luna ??
Or is that the Faderport V1 ?
See here for our list, but any MCU capable device should work. help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/4406777753236
@@UniversalAudio it will work with the Nanokontrol of korg ?
Maybe I missed it, but can the faderport or uf8 do plugin control in Luna?
No, we added faders and pans in this initial release. See here for more details. help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/4406777753236-LUNA-Control-Surface-Compatibility-Setup
Only getting communication going into my surface controller but nothing going out from my controller.
Hell yes!! 😀
UA, any plans on releasing your own UA Control Surface any time soon?
Sorry Rock0loco, we can't comment on any future developments or releases. We appreciate your interest though and encourage you to stay tuned.
@@UniversalAudio sounds like a yes to me 😅
What setting do I select to connect the faderport 8 to Luna , MCA, HMI, appreciate the help
MCU
Yup!
Pleaaaaee give us freeze up to this insert next pleaaaaasee 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Is there an iPad controller app for Luna?
Sure, Daw Control works great.
@uad Is there any chance that Luna will ever be available on windows?
We’d love to do LUNA for Windows at some point in the future, but there’s nothing to announce at this time.
Can you commit and print per track plug-in chains off line yet ?
Yes, use the Mixdown function.
Is UA Office Hours coming back?
Will it work with a slate Raven?
PREVIEW. WRITE to SELECTION. Which came from Euphonix. And, since AVID can't figure it out. In stop and play. Will there be Eucon Support?
We just added MCU to LUNA, nothing more to announce at this time, but thanks for the feedback and the interest.
