Soundwise Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Analogue-ish summing is cool, but can it really compete with other DAWs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cclarry Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Just now, Mr No Name said: " Only plug ins that can be used in the DAW must be UAD" Well it's currently scanning ALL my plugins...so I don't know why it would do that if it could only run UAD Plugins 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anxiousmofo Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Nice. Despite being Windows only, I bought the API summing for Luna with a credit I had a few months back, because the credit was about to expire and I owned all the native stuff already. I was betting on Luna for Windows releasing this year. Hopefully my summing investment will work, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't used it but I'm not sure I really understand the whole compete with other DAWs concept. Many people only need a glorified tape recorder that has the ability to record audio tracks and VSTis and add VST based effects to those tracks and the ability to do the most basic of editing on those tracks (volume automation, MIDI note editing and dynamics). Advanced arrangement and key change tools (ala Studio One) are a more advanced feature set - and certainly the minority need them. Once you enter the "free" class - basic functionality and support for 3rd party addons is all that is needed to be competitive with a good workflow and UI. I've used Cakewalk / Sonar for decades now and don't need 80% of what it is theoretically capable of. I'll be interested if Bandlab comes out with Sonar at a price point that doesn't make sense for me. Otherwise would love to stick with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Ok...first impressions using one of the Artist downloads..."Tracks of My Tears" I have to say I like it... need more evaluation time but initial impressions are good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rintoul Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Three crashes for me so far, one at first run and two while playing the demo project. Can't say I am too impressed. Interface looks okay. It does start up fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSistine Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Frankly, I am antipathetic to UA! First, because their installation is so weird even their plugins are iLok authorized and second, because they start processes to do updates when you are using their plugins (I did not find out how to avoid this)! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did start fine after I reran it. Maybe a reboot would bring more stability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they want a little more, then they start craving other things, available in other products. But you're right, horses for courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
