Thank you Tyler and congratulations! It is awesome that you are giving back to the community that inspired you to such success. Great attitude, may it infect others.
I’m done with “free” DAWs. Used Cakewalk for a few years to have them then withdraw support. There will always be a catch. I’m now using Reaper and couldn’t be happier.
@@beatsbysnide_r no, it's 60 bucks for 2 major versions on the honor system (trial officially lasts for 60 days, but it doesnt enforce it after it expires : you simply get a please buy popup just like winrar, that's why many people think it's free)
@@beatsbysnide_r You can use it for free in perpetuity, but if your music income is less that $20,000 a year by your attestation, it is only $60 one time. I'm just getting started in songwriting and I did download reaper. I have a complaint. Every time I've opened it, the pay screen pops up. I would rather register as a user and if I decided to be regular user after 60-day complimentary period, then pay but not have to see the screen every time before then. As it is, I am using Cakewalk.

@@_thewaymusic in fact, Cakewalk by Bandland will remain usable as is, but there will never be an update again. The future at Bandlab is "Sonar" and "Next" 2 new paid products
Sanjay, I would love to be the Guru of Mixing Engineering. Not to mention, piano, drums, guitar, vocals, and writing hits. Thank you, Tyler for the free kit.
As for LUNA on Windows, I would argue. I wouldn't even call it a release. They are sharinga beta version with many serious bugs, I'm not sure if it can even be called a beta version. For free... well, that's not true either ;) The Beta stage is all about using users' time to test and help with bug fixes, so it actually takes a lot of your most valuable resource, real work, and being able to tolerate the pain of freezing and hanging things ;) Personally, I don't have the time or inclination to do this and I already have excellent, working, great Windows DAWs like Reaper (very cheap for small/home studios), Cakewalk for Bandlab (still free), or Studio One. The last 2 of them have integrated capabilities for summing or using things like tapes etc, in addition to the usual in-channel inserts (Pro Chanel or Mix FX)... I also have almost all the native UAD plugins if flavors of them would be something I would need for any reason. Also from a functional point of view or capabilities it is in the same class. So honestly, for someone who does not have UAD interfaces, there is no single advantage to LUNA so far, even if it is a final and bug-free product ;) But either way, sure, I keep my fingers crossed for their success. Maybe in a year or two I'll check their progress so I can have another DAW that works on both MAC and PC, I could see an advantage in that regard.
Crashed on Windows 11 just bringing up a few VST's every time, like clock work. Had to uninstall the program. I still have my account though. They need time to get through the Windows version beta, because it's horrible right now when using regular VST's.
Glad to see the iPad getting some ❤ on your channel Sanjay! I’ve started dipping my toes in the Logic for iPad waters and I’m finding it to be a very capable device for music production.
Question of the week: Piece of equipment - the analog mixing desk, or any with faders. I know how fundamentally crucial and important is to ride the fader levels well from the get go. I'm there already, just got to get myself out of my own way more often than not. 🙏 Thank you Sanjay!
Awesome video ! I love following your channel. Thank you for the freebie. You inspire me too. Proud of Tyler and his giving back to the community. All the best to both of you.
been a protools user since it was 4 track on a mac se30. this is the first daw that i would take into a major session, and not worry about work flow. in fact with apollo interface, the stuff you can do is amazing. and its freakin plug and play, no messing around with setups. blew me away.... the new windows version is still BETA. but it works on my desk in my office without any issue. ryzen 7! no sound card. just asio4all... get me off of avid thank you.
This is magic! LUNA was a DAW that I was intrigued, but I'm now considering upgrading to Ableton 12. DSP integrated Audio Interfaces were once a hot topic...
Kinda wished they'd have just gone with the MiniBrute 2. And at the rate of their releases pre-V Collection 11, it better damned near be free for me😆 That Scaper is an immediate buy for me. Thanks for sharing! +1 to Tyler!
I love following your channel. But this video I was probably more interested in how many times you would say Luna. Ha ha! There are definitely some cool products listed here that I’m excited to check out.
I enjoy Luna a lot for its analog sound and great sounding instruments included in Shape for sure ! I used to use 2” tape which was amazing! I still prefer Logic 11 and Cubase 13 overral due to is far better midi editing as I am a pianist / keyboardist . I enjoy NI Komplete system and like the new Session guitar sounds! It’s big!
I'd love to be the master of vibes....I'd love to be able to relax, energize, inspire, create the perfect environment for great songs to be made... Not just for me but others. The stories you'd be able to tell of be told about you would be incredible.
If you're on Windows stick with Reaper or Studio One. I used Cakewalk SONAR for years. Midi editing was its strength but Reaper now has most of the features I used in SONAR. Still not perfect. When Gibson killed Cakewalk I spent a year with Studio One and Reaper. Although Reaper has a higher learning curve it is a better DAW. Glad I went with Reaper. Bandlab rescued Cakewalk but I'll never go back to it.
Did you hear about the Synapse Audio The Legend HZ ? An expanded Minimoog emulation with lots of MSEGs, internal fx etc. made in collaboration with the man himself, Hans Zimmer. Looks cool if you ask me.
I'm sure if it worked, it'd be great. Almost every function has a bug. This is NOT a beta release and should not be public yet. Tried it for the last 2 days and it has hundreds of problems.
I just hope the ASIO bug will be addressed some time soon because I am not investing in a UA interface anytime soon just to get LUNA working on Windows. LUNA itself looks like a nice addition to the free DAW market space though.
Sanjay, I think you‘ve got an interesting washing powder. It has washed away the word „Deep“ on your T-shirt and left Purple! 😅 Well, to your question: I‘d like to be a master in mixing and mastering in Logic Pro. And the Acoustic Sunburst seems very interesting to me! Thanx a lot for the interesting information again. 💪🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
Can you do a review on the Luma keyboard? I want to see how it operates and everything, it looks cool and what NI should of did for it lights on the keyboard
Sanjay C you always do great reviews! You're the one that started me using Ableton haha. I'm now considering Luna for windows. My only honest problem I have is that it doesn't support VST2. I use Studio Linked Trophies by Bryan Michael Cox and it looks like I would have to give that up. But shape does sound very good. I'm on the fence, please push me. haha I have an update.... If you open up Komplete Kontrol you can still use your VST2!! I might pull the trigger now
Yo, Sanjay C! How's Dharti? Please send her my regard, love and positive energy :) I want to give a heads up and remind your viewers to save a fresh backup before installing LUNA on a Windows PC. I installed it yesterday on one of my rigs and had several issues that immediately arouse. 1. Graphics card driver corruption when using more than 2 monitors. (2 of 3 worked, while 3rd suddenly vanished with no solution) 2. Audio routing would not populate between Clarett+ 4Pre, a corruption in Focusrite driver occured that I have not seen before. Sound throughput was present while no metering visible. 3. Windows didn't play well with LUNA processes and spiked RAM usage. I had to restart Windows with the option to start with advanced options, allowing me to reset Windows back to the time prior to the installation of LUNA. All issues resolved. My Ableton/FX RIG: Windows 11 Pro Intel i7 - 9700K @5ghz 128gb RAM NVIDIA 3060 12gb OC Focurite Clarett+ 4Pre
The work flow and look is very similar to Cubase so it suits me as a second DAW. Lunas features seem basic at the moment but I love the quality. I hope the price does not increase with the future updates.
Great Video as always. QOFTW: I'd like to be a guru at an instrument (Drums, bass, guitar or piano) or on the compressor. They are not easy to handle and you need some years of experience with them
I'm not sure about Luna, getting mixed messages about its future. Calling it free but at the same time saying "try the beta" just sounds like a time limited thing. Why would I invest a ton of time trying to learn something which might then be a paid license when it goes RTM, only to then decide that the price isn't worth moving away from your old DAW. Then you've wasted days of your life getting the hang of this. Don't think I've heard anyone say it'll be free after beta yet.
Won’t open on my PC/7950X/Win 11. No big deal. It’s a beta. It’ll get better. I’m glad they’re working on it. It’s not like I’ve been really looking forward to using LUNA but it might be cool so I’ll try it when it works.
I feel like LUNA is still not ready for PC users. It freezes, crashes and many functions are still not working but again that’s understandable considering the fact that it’s just an open beta as of now. Hope to see official release of LUNA soon.
Luna is trying to become a combination of Harrison's Mixbus GUI with Apple's Logic Pro features and functions. But still I prefer Logic Pro for Music Production & Audio Pre-production and Mixbus for Audio Post-production. I do use UAD plugins during Audio Production that I have purchased. But I am not using Luna because it lacks many features that Logic Pro and Mixbus have and the ease of working with it (not user friendly as compared to Logic Pro and Mixbus). I tried Luna to produce my music but it need to include more features and functions to attract more Windows users specially.
I would try Luna for Windows, but all my projects for the past two decades are in Cakewalk. This old dog doesn't want to learn any new tricks, DAWwise. 🐶
@@sickularism4289 Absolutely. Can't disagree with that. But the prospect of a secondary DAW is something I've been looking for and when I downloaded Luna, I thought I'd get it.
@@aniruddh_d16 yea the idea of secondary daw is absolutely fine and I Love Reaper to its core. Took me 3 months to learn but its totally worth it with the capabilities and customization it provides ❤
I used to think Reaper was cr*p until I really explored it's features. I used it, for example, as a live virtual mixer and the kind of routing it allows is incredible, no other DAW comes close to even touching Reaper for mixing.
It won't connect to my roland midi keyboard on windows 10. I tried everything (drivers, windows setting etc.). I already use Presonus Studio One and the midi setup was no problem. Can't I have 2 or more DAW's on my computer at the same time?
I tried Luna in Windows, it failed to recognise my built-in audio device no matter what I tried - think it may be ASIO only but can't tell. It recognised the Ableton Push driver though. As usual Ableton free always works just fine on my system, as does Presonus DAW. A shame as I'd really like to try it out.
i am kind of dissapointed : i expected to hear more about Luna butalmost the entire video beside those maybe 2 minutes at the beginning was about all kinds of stuff but Luna. However thank you but next time maybe a better description to the video or maybe you come up with a whole one single video about Luna. But again thank you .
I don't care how good Luna is or isn't, since I won't be trying it. Why not? Because the UA Installation Manager for Windows is SO intrusive. I purchased a couple of UA plugins, but wound up uninstalling them when I uninstalled their installation app after it p'd me off one too many times. Shame, because the plugins themselves were quite good.
i feel like it will be the same as when i insalled Verve.. that unviversal audio installer popping up in the corner of windows asking to buy more products like once an hour, even when i have my DAW open in Reaper.. that's what Verve plugin did to us.. i removed it. Hard pass on this DAW, also saw a review saying it's no good... I would suggest ppl use Ardour as a first free DAW. it's great, it even runs on Linux.. so you can install Linux and Ardour or Linux and Reaper even on a steamdeck game system. it's neat.. Cakewalk is still free too, 30 years going strong.
Great for people getting started without having to plop down $$. Not so much for people who started a long time ago. Doesn't mean it can't be, just not quite ready for prime time yet imo.
OMG FINE I'LL UNSUB AND RESUB. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY. Seriously though, your channel is the first thing I look up when I wake up Saturday morning. Your smiling face is a great way to kick off the weekend. Thank you sir.
I don't use any free daw because in exchange they always want to install some kind of spyware on your pc. It's always the same talk, it needs that app installed either to download the free version or to "connect" to something. I call it BS.
@@SanjayC It's still in its infancy and a lot of productivity features are missing. But the sound is really great with those tape saturation, API channel strips and Neve summing plugins inserted on each track. It requires some training to be mastered. IIt's not really for music composers, but rather for audio enginneers doing mixing. I think one possible combination would be to use Cubase or similar DAW for composing and then move to LUNA for traditional console-oriented mixing.
It’s amazing but horrible at the same time. It’s protools in a better way and I was all for moving over. But until they they change the file system to “SAVE AS” Until then I won’t touch it again. Saved projects were crazy GB’s worth of storage compared to other daws. And UA’s answer to this was just bounce stems and delete everything else. 😂

As for LUNA on Windows, I would argue. I wouldn't even call it a release. They are sharinga beta version with many serious bugs, I'm not sure if it can even be called a beta version.
For free... well, that's not true either ;)
The Beta stage is all about using users' time to test and help with bug fixes, so it actually takes a lot of your most valuable resource, real work, and being able to tolerate the pain of freezing and hanging things ;)
Personally, I don't have the time or inclination to do this and I already have excellent, working, great Windows DAWs like Reaper (very cheap for small/home studios), Cakewalk for Bandlab (still free), or Studio One. The last 2 of them have integrated capabilities for summing or using things like tapes etc, in addition to the usual in-channel inserts (Pro Chanel or Mix FX)...
I also have almost all the native UAD plugins if flavors of them would be something I would need for any reason. Also from a functional point of view or capabilities it is in the same class.
So honestly, for someone who does not have UAD interfaces, there is no single advantage to LUNA so far, even if it is a final and bug-free product ;)
But either way, sure, I keep my fingers crossed for their success. Maybe in a year or two I'll check their progress so I can have another DAW that works on both MAC and PC, I could see an advantage in that regard.
Reaper for cross platform win.👍
As is right now it doesn't enumerate any ports on ASIO devices so it is basically only functioning for UAD interfaces.

Hope to see official release of LUNA soon.

As usual Ableton free always works just fine on my system, as does Presonus DAW. A shame as I'd really like to try it out.
i am kind of dissapointed : i expected to hear more about Luna butalmost the entire video beside those maybe 2 minutes at the beginning was about all kinds of stuff but Luna. However thank you but next time maybe a better description to the video or maybe you come up with a whole one single video about Luna. But again thank you .
It’s crashing every time I launch it on windows.
I don't care how good Luna is or isn't, since I won't be trying it. Why not? Because the UA Installation Manager for Windows is SO intrusive. I purchased a couple of UA plugins, but wound up uninstalling them when I uninstalled their installation app after it p'd me off one too many times. Shame, because the plugins themselves were quite good.
i feel like it will be the same as when i insalled Verve.. that unviversal audio installer popping up in the corner of windows asking to buy more products like once an hour, even when i have my DAW open in Reaper.. that's what Verve plugin did to us.. i removed it. Hard pass on this DAW, also saw a review saying it's no good... I would suggest ppl use Ardour as a first free DAW. it's great, it even runs on Linux.. so you can install Linux and Ardour or Linux and Reaper even on a steamdeck game system. it's neat.. Cakewalk is still free too, 30 years going strong.
I tried it. Its not for me.
Great for people getting started without having to plop down $$. Not so much for people who started a long time ago. Doesn't mean it can't be, just not quite ready for prime time yet imo.
Does anyone else have issues importing audio in Luna for windows?
Finally!
Yup!!
Lol for Luna. Folia Sound works on TH-cam has legit criticisms. And the number one comment in his vid: "It won't even open on my PC"
Greetings from South Africa. I want to be the Guru of Mastering.
I would be a master of udio AI music.
Huh? Lol 👀🤔
OMG FINE I'LL UNSUB AND RESUB. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.
Seriously though, your channel is the first thing I look up when I wake up Saturday morning. Your smiling face is a great way to kick off the weekend. Thank you sir.
You're so kind. Thank you for supporting my channel, MrOmegabrian!
Remember when UAD tried to tell us Luna wasn’t a DAW when it first came out?
Oh man…I forgot about that!!! It’s a Recording System!
Does it supoort 32bit plugins?
Lina is awesome but it has bugs a lot of buds it crashes
I don't use any free daw because in exchange they always want to install some kind of spyware on your pc. It's always the same talk, it needs that app installed either to download the free version or to "connect" to something. I call it BS.
Try to download, its asking for ilock account but i used studio one.
It did the same for me but i made an account and registered and it installed and loaded fine
@@ruddock7 ok thanks will try that
@sanjayC bro please tells ua… we need a au console UPDATE FOR WINDOWS!!!!
I would not use Windows ever again even if they paid me. I used Windows my whole life until I got a Mac in 2018.
You know what I think? It wouldn’t hurt to showcase the product……
Things Reasons + is already doing, but better....Reasons 13 Release in 7 days destroys this
I'll stick to Studio One. The God of All Daws
Cubase is probably better.
I'm trying LUNA on WIndows since Tuesday...
What do you think so far? What's good, what's missing?
@@SanjayC It's still in its infancy and a lot of productivity features are missing. But the sound is really great with those tape saturation, API channel strips and Neve summing plugins inserted on each track. It requires some training to be mastered. IIt's not really for music composers, but rather for audio enginneers doing mixing. I think one possible combination would be to use Cubase or similar DAW for composing and then move to LUNA for traditional console-oriented mixing.
It’s amazing but horrible at the same time. It’s protools in a better way and I was all for moving over. But until they they change the file system to “SAVE AS” Until then I won’t touch it again. Saved projects were crazy GB’s worth of storage compared to other daws. And UA’s answer to this was just bounce stems and delete everything else. 😂
Sucks, Kept crashing
This isn't exactly free, I think this is more like a trial
More Bugs than a Ant Hill 😂 plus It's Beta
Free? Some day after you have all your music on it , you will have to pay to use it further
Other than LMMS and Ardour that’s probably true for every free DAW. They all have paid versions
Crashed my Windows 11. I uninstalled.
😂
