Universal Audio's LUNA Recording System delivers a cozy, intuitive experience that feels both powerful and familiar, especially for those used to Pro Tools. With stellar sound and seamless integration of UAD plugins, it excels in tracking and recording workflows. However, it's still in its infancy—MIDI editing options are limited, and certain features, like external hardware insert sends, are yet to be implemented. The hidden audio file structure may frustrate some users, but the potential for future updates is promising. Overall, LUNA is a thrilling addition for Apollo users, with plenty of room for growth.

Universal Audio LUNA review | MusicRadar

Universal Audio's LUNA brings an intriguing twist to the recording landscape with its unique blend of hardware integration and a streamlined workflow. While the Tape Stage and Neve Summing options enhance its appeal, the requirement for an Apollo interface and lack of surround sound may deter some users. Though it boasts impressive audio manipulation features and intuitive design, LUNA still feels like a work in progress, lacking some expected DAW functionalities. It's a promising start but may leave potential users wanting more flexibility and features in future updates.
