The
Authentically Analog DAW for Apollo Designed for seamless integration with
Apollo audio interfaces, LUNA is our free Mac‑based recording application
that lets you do music recording, audio editing, composition, sound design,
and more ‑ all in real time, and with big analog studio sound.
LUNA
transforms UA's Apollo interfaces into fully integrated recording systems.
The LUNA Recording System consists of a UA Thunderbolt equipped audio
interface, the LUNA Application LUNA Extensions, and LUNA Instruments.
Key LUNA
Recording System features include its deep Apollo interface integration,
built in Neve Summing, Multitrack Tape Emulation, and all new LUNA
Instruments.
Deep Apollo Integration - Fast, Natural Workflow
LUNA
Recording System's tight hardware software integration allows quickly
routing and recording audio through DSP powered UAD plugins with no
discernible latency via the new Accelerated Realtime Monitoring feature.
Accelerated Realtime.
UA says
Monitoring is poised to be a major revelation for those unaccustomed to
working on a $10k+ DSP assisted recording system; music production will
instantly seem more robust, dependable, and intuitive, without latency or
monitoring hassles.
Built-in Neve Summing - Instant Classic Console Sound
LUNA
Recording System offers precisely emulated audio summing circuitry from the
Neve 80 Series audio mixing consoles designed by Neve Electronics in the
1960s and early 1970s, featuring the harmonically rich sound of the Neve
1272 summing amplifier. Far beyond a "summing plugin," Neve Summing is a
LUNA Extension built in to the fabric of LUNA's mixer and can instantly
transform a clean technical mix into a classic sounding recording filled
with energy and life.
Integrated Multitrack Tape - Warmth and Punch on Demand
LUNA's
audio transport features integrated Multitrack Tape emulation via the
included "Oxide" LUNA Extension providing sonic qualities commonly described
by audio engineers as "warmth" and "cohesion" on every desired audio or
instrument track. LUNA Recording System users may choose to further explore
various magnetic tape sounds with the optional Studer A800 Tape Recorder
Extension (sold separately).
All new LUNA Instruments - Realism to Fuel
Inspiration
LUNA is
further distinguished by all new software based LUNA Instruments bringing
Universal Audio's expertise in electrical and acoustic modeling, sampling,
synthesis, and signal processing to virtual instruments for the first time
ever. The resulting software instruments are described as "ultra-realistic,
responsive, and alive with inspiration."
At
launch, available LUNA Instruments will include:
Moog
Minimoog: Developed in partnership with Moog Music, the Moog Minimoog is an
accurate emulation of the archetypal 1971 Moog synthesizer.
Ravel grand piano: A model of a Steinway Model B grand piano based on UA's
proprietary sampling, physical modeling, and new Ultra Resonance technology
providing all the sonic nuance of this studio classic.
