That's a dealbreaker for me. No matter how good their plugins are, launching updates in the middle of a recording session is not appropriate. I steer away from UAD plugins and never use them.

Well... they I screwed up the install right off the bat by locking in my ilok email instead of my user name and I can't manually change it here.  Now I have to spend an hour&1/2 dealing with support to fix it before LUNA even installs.  Not worth the hassle.

Update1: Hassel averted. Figured out how to change account info by going to my account but it's now in que... ⏳

Update2: Finally able to dnld & install.  Looks good and totally theme-able.   No "Save As" under file menu.  Saving multiple versions will take getting used to. ? Auto save interval is changeable in Settings.

Since I have the entire Apollo/UAD ecosystem, I'm wetting my pants (just a little) to try this out. 4 Day weekend coming up for me.

Ok...be forwarned Luna does NOT ask you to save your work when you are closing it...it just closes

Also...I haven't been able to find a "Mixer View"...just FYI

It autosaves all the time.  It's both good and bad.  I'd definitely prefer a choice though.

Ok...I found the mixer view....it's in the control bar...looks like this....it doesn't seem to be on a menu anywhere

Yep..just figured that out as when I re-opened it it was right where I left it.  Don't know if I like that or not...time will tell

[cclarry]

Ok...it's on the View menu...it's because it's marked "toggle timeline/mixer" that I missed it

Ok...watching the videos now...informative...

Looks like Pro Tools with a Cubase/Reaper theme.

No PRV.  Track/Clip "Notes" view expands to show PRV.  Not sure if multiple PRV views are possible.

Naaa using SSL CS2 right now.

I wonder if they'll implement DAWproject support?

Go offline while in Luna?

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.

I bought the Spitfire Orch stuff on sale on the same premise. That paid off.

Nice. I haven't fired up Luna yet but did the installs and it appears my summing and other API stuff  is good to go for Windows.

So uncomfortable after Reaper and custom actions?
