Universal Audio Announces Control Surface Support & Sidechaining in LUNA v1.2

Universal Audio, a leading manufacturer of professional audio recording hardware and software, is proud to introduce LUNA v1.2, a milestone software update that brings new features to LUNA Recording System with control surface support and sidechain integration.

LUNA v1.2 is available for free download to Thunderbolt Apollo interface owners, and requires a Mac running 10.14 or later.

Control Surface Support

Control surface support allows users to perform fader movements and adjust mixer parameters in LUNA using any compatible desktop MCU control surface or DAW controller app on their phone or tablet.

This update brings additional analog‑style workflows to LUNA and delivers on a highly‑requested feature from users.
