<\/p>\nUniversal Audio (UA), a leading manufacturer of professional audio recording hardware and software, is proud to introduce LUNA Recording System, a full-featured music creation, recording, and analog-style production system shaped by over 60 years of analog audio exploration.<\/p>\n
LUNA transforms UA’s industry-standard Apollo interfaces into the most inspiring and fully integrated recording systems available. LUNA Recording System consists of a UA Thunderbolt-equipped audio interface, the LUNA Application, LUNA Extensions, and LUNA Instruments.<\/p>\n
LUNA will be available as a free download for Apollo and Arrow Thunderbolt audio interface owners (Mac only) in Spring 2020.<\/p>\n
Key LUNA Recording System features include its deep Apollo interface integration, built-in Neve\u00ae Summing, Multitrack Tape Emulation, and all-new LUNA Instruments \u2014 UA’s long-awaited foray into software\u2011based instruments.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Deep Apollo Integration \u2014 Fast, Natural Workflow
\nUnlike traditional DAW software, LUNA Recording System’s tight hardware-software integration allows quickly routing and recording audio through DSP-powered UAD plug-ins with no discernable latency via the new Accelerated Realtime Monitoring feature. Accelerated Realtime Monitoring is poised to be a major revelation for those unaccustomed to working on a $10k+ DSP-assisted recording system; music production will instantly seem more robust, dependable, and intuitive, without latency or monitoring hassles.<\/p>\n
Built-In Neve\u00ae Summing \u2014 Instant Classic Console Sound
\nLUNA Recording System offers precisely emulated audio summing circuitry from the Neve 80-Series audio mixing consoles designed by Neve Electronics in the 1960s and early 1970s, featuring the harmonically rich sound of the Neve 1272 summing amplifier. Far beyond a \u201csumming plug-in,” Neve Summing is a LUNA Extension built-in to the fabric of LUNA’s mixer \u2014 and can instantly transform a clean technical mix into a classic-sounding recording filled with energy and life.<\/p>\n
Integrated Multitrack Tape \u2014 Warmth and Punch on Demand
\nLUNA’s audio transport features integrated Multitrack Tape emulation via the included “Oxide” LUNA Extension \u2014 providing sonic qualities commonly described by audio engineers as “warmth” and “cohesion” on every desired audio or instrument track. LUNA Recording System users may choose to further explore various magnetic tape sounds with the optional Studer\u00ae A800 Tape Recorder Extension (sold separately).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
All-New LUNA Instruments \u2014 Incredible Realism to Fuel Inspiration
\nLUNA is further distinguished by all-new software-based LUNA Instruments \u2014 bringing Universal Audio’s expertise in electrical and acoustic modeling, sampling, synthesis, and signal processing to virtual instruments for the first time ever. The resulting software instruments are ultra-realistic, responsive, and \u201calive\u201d with inspiration.<\/p>\n
At launch, available LUNA Instruments will include:
\nMoog\u00ae Minimoog \u2014 developed in partnership with Moog Music, the Moog Minimoog is an incredibly accurate and inspiring emulation of the archetypal 1971 Moog synthesizer
\nRavel\u2122 grand piano \u2014 a breathtaking model of a Steinway Model B grand piano based on UA’s proprietary sampling, physical modeling, and new Ultra-Resonance technology \u2014 providing all the sonic nuance of this studio classic
\nShape\u2122 \u2014 a complete creative toolkit with vintage keys, drums\/percussion, guitar\/bass, orchestral content, and realtime synthesis, courtesy of Universal Audio, Spitfire Audio, Orange Tree Samples, Loops de la Creme, and more \u2014 included free in LUNA<\/p>\n
