You don’t have to pay extra to use any plugins in Luna. I’m honestly not even sure what you’re asking here. There are Luna extensions which only work in Luna like API and Neve Summing, Studer and Ampex extensions, shape and the API console emulation. But any other plugins that are AU format will work in Luna without any problems or additional costs.

In reply to Zeez. It’s just for bug reporting. I’ve been on Luna since the beginning and I trust they haven’t been laughing at my porn addiction

Everything is great; however, the graphics are a bit buggy for me on an M1 MacBook Air. The way it handles MIDI is a dealbreaker. If I decide to use it as my main DAW, I’ll create the MIDI on another DAW, maybe Ableton Live Lite, and then port it over to Luna. I hope that one day they change how to deal with MIDI and give it a separate window.

I’m on windows. But registered anyways. Maybe in the future a windows version comes out and the activation code is still good.

In reply to Matt. Not really. You can still use any normal plugin with it. So you can have plenty of fish. If you want UAD fish than yeah, of course you'll need to pay an extra. But not at all the situation you describe.

Are there any UAD plugins that can be used in it without additional costs?

In reply to CM. Which OSes will run on IS half the usability equation.

This might be it. Seems it wants to record your screen to create custom icons for third-party plugins.

“LUNA is the latest contender for the top spot. However, it is only available for macOS, so it still can’t compete with the cross-platform Waveform Free.”

So, even it’s the best, the fact that it’s not cross-platform somehow makes it not really the best? That’s a confusing statement. Whether or not it’s the best should be based on features and usability, not which OSes it will run on.

In reply to Zeez. If something is free, YOU are the product. Thank you for the head's-up

The old “here’s a free fish bowl, now buy the fish” idea, works every time. Nice that UA has opened up a bit with their bundles and freebies. Thanks!
