I love the ease of mixcraft Pro studio 9 and 10. But for some reason that DAW won’t run softube or waves plugins. It runs lots of plugins but not the aforementioned ones. That UAD sound studios plugin sounds promising. I installed it to my computer today and nothing loaded except a picture of the studio and the presets. A channel strip is supposed to be included with this plug, including mike placements to mix through. Unless that’s left out of the demo version. I’m assuming it’s likely my daw. The UAD sound studios plugin is sort of similar to those headphone mixing plugins. I may end up trying pro tools free. I don’t need but one track for mastering so track limitations won’t bother me. I just can’t use all of my mastering plugs in mixcraft. So I’m at the place where one daw will be used for mixing, and one will be used for mastering. BTW, while I was listening to tet UAD sound studios plugin presets. I could hear changes in my audio. It definitely adds something to the sound that wasn’t there. Thanks for listening. . .

I purchased and downloaded the pro bundle $199 for Windows the other night and so far it’s says my trial for the NEVE summing has 28 days left so it appears the countdown is automatic upon download. I’ve been having issues with the Plugin’s not loading correctly and I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled them.

george is not right, it’s just that the software is bad regardless of him being wrong

(apparently. i haven’t actually tested it but yeah seems like the ones who tried aren’t fans)

I have exactly the same problem.

The only reason to get LUNA is if you’re going to be buying – at least – the LUNA Pro Bundle, which is $199. Without that, I don’t see any point in even bothering to install it (and yes, I have installed it).

The Windows version is beyond buggy. They call it beta, but it’s more like an Alpha. Crashes to desktop everywhere.

Could not get my control surface to function properly with it. Pan controls work, along with the keyboard, but faders didn’t work properly. Only supports “Relative Scaling” for non-motorized faders and 270 degree rotary knobs.

I do have a Mac, and never bothered trying it there… but I’m going to sit this one out. I’mnot seeing much value in bothering, considering the $200 buy-in (cause without the extensions it makes 0 sense to use it over practically anything else, IMO).

It’s also not a “Producer’s DAW.” It’s pretty god-awful for MIDI Production.

Not a very intuitive UI. Need to make sure you study the key commands as a lot of basic stuff isn’t surfaced readily in context menus (i.e. Right Clicking in Track Header Area to create a new Track isn’t there… there isn’t a context menu at all – like every other DAW). On the flip side, the Menu System is pretty sparse and does a pretty terrible job at aiding in feature discovery (similar to Bitwig Studio).

The shape instrument is amazing , i can’t believe how good quality the sounds are in
this rompler and this and a synth next to
it are all you need , add the melda fx suite or kilohearts or a free
comp and eq and it’s all you need , and maybe a free autotune like spot on , it’s a really good program

Ariana, don’t know what you’re saying with “maybe it really is not that free”. LUNA is definetely a 100% free DAW, period. However, it comes with the Pro Bundle and the Neve Summing (separate software) to try out for 30 days. It bugs me that the trials need to start as soon as one installs and activates the DAW but the DAW is 100% free and has no limits when it comes to number of tracks, plugin inserts, etc… Yes, if you can spare a minute, let me know, please.

Thanks a lot for this info! =)

Wow, good to know. Thanks for the info, maybe it really is not that free. If I install it, I’ll let you know.

I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?

Right 👍
