UAD LUNA for Windows? Forget it, it's BAD (for now)!

Heeey, people! I know that Luna is beta, but still - do you think releasing any DAW that buggy should took a place at all? Lemme know down below!

Same problem here😀😁

Ich habe keine Probleme mit Luna für Windows. Alles funktioniert super. Aufnahme von einigen Tracks im Proberaum mit Tascam Audio Interface 16x8 sowie bearbeiten von mit Pro Tools aufgenommenen Sessions völlig problemlos. Super! 👍

compare to other DAW's this one looks like real garbage, so many errors and midi not works as intended, so many problems with note quantization, poor timing and on the grid placement....they need to improve it, maybe version 3 will be ok? so far smells terribly like amateurish version of DAW

Works beautifully on my PC after removing Kontact, which I never used anyway. It is significantly better than every other DAW I have used, especially Pro Tools.

I love it ! Every now and then it farts and need reset but Protools mess up every session I do , reaper never crashes , but the rest crashes

In reality this should be better. With so many possible Windows machine specifications this is why you have this issue even on high spec machines.

Sure! Here is the translation:

"I couldn't even open this DAW! I installed it, and when I try to run it, it starts scanning the plugins and then just closes."

No problem at all with Luna - Tracked and mixed 2 projects already.

Same issue with me Luna wouldn't open neither would the console when I updated it. What I did was completely uninstalled UAD and then did a fresh install and that seemed to work I was able to get Luna lunched I even got an old task him US 2400 to use with Luna but that's buggy at best. What I want to know is how to stream Luna through OBS. How are you doing that on your side how do you get the audio to play that would be a good video buggy and all. Thanks for your video I'm sorry for your frustration

Mine doesnt even load. gets stuck on Launch?><???

My pc is beef, and it took me 1 minute to load a plugin in this DAW. 🤣

Didn't work on my windows machine ..windows 10 AMD had problems with that ilok crap wouldn't even install.

mine is not even installing n my windows 10 64 Bit machine and other DAW works fine !!

work very well here !!

I had a lot of trouble with it at first due to my refusal to update my UAD plugins so it locked up and crashed. was abe to briefly get around this by jot closing the plugin manager but then that stopped working too.
Yesterday the released an update to the program manager app and now it is working fine. Problems with demo projects as I don’t have the plugins used.

Oh great..need recording software and yeah I'm broke yada but I just downloaded but haven't tried yet..was excited..now..not so.. alright thanks.. peace

I tried it today on mac. Not much better.... I have used Reaper since 2010...this is the first time i tried something else....restrictive and amateurish is the impression i got...weird thing....admittedly it was a free giveaway with their interfaces....llike a toy..pass

Problem with my presonus driver interface here!!

Looks like theres a fundamental flaw in there. It ought fix in later releases. But yeah, oof, sounds like they released it before it was ready. Thats probably management overriding developers (as a software dev, thats happened to me many many times, that I tell management the softwares not ready and releasing it will lead to failure, only to be ignored by management and 100% of the time it leads to disaster, and guess who gets the blame? hint: never management)

@UniversalAudio same problem i am facing

constant blue screen on my pc... works like half an hour then crashed windows, and from that on, blue screen everytime i try to open a session...

LUNA will not even install on my Windows PC ...It downloads, then asks to download again....and again... I asked UA (via support in UA connect) with no response. Great.

It works perfectly on mine and I’m loving it,it really does change the sound

I Downloaded Luna , I've used it for a few days, and it closes abruptly, I know it's a problem because it's a beta and eventually it will be better.

Something that I really hate, is that I don't know, how the send multiple outputs of a vst, I use ugritone drums, and I want to use multiple outputs of the plugin, and I don't know how to do it, could someone here help me?

Looks amazing, sound relly good but everything else sucks, to move the Api values is a pain in the ass, I cant scan pugins, it crashed 3 times, the graphics didnt render fast so it gets lag, definitly for the moment staying with cubase 11, looks ugly but my workflow is fast, I was forgetting, how you can save the project? hahahahahaha

on my Mac air M1 very smooth hope in future will be solid on windows aswell

I spent 45 minutes trying to load it and gave up. I hope they get it working soon. It looks like a well thought out, functional DAW.

i cant open nmy past projects, and when i try to create a new project , says ,, that are pending load the past project , its unusable luna for me , luna dondt respond anymore

Running perfect on my pc ❤

If you’ve got LUNA working and you’re using UA hardware, I would highly suggest staying away from the 11.3 update. It took me an hour to get everything running smoothly again after the update messed up LUNA.
Hopefully you kept 11.2 on your hard drive somewhere.

Me provocó problemas con mi ilok.

I have an Apollo Twin USB and a UAD Quad PCIe card running on Win11, and Luna fails to even install! It just says:
"Launch Issue. An Unexpected issue has occurred. Please restart UA Connect."

Just out of curiosity, what are your computer’s specs? ie: CPU, number of cores, amount of RAM. I tried it on a laptop I have. It’s an i7 with only 4 core and 16 gb ram. The RENDER and RENDERIO stats were blowing out my computer. It was clicking, popping and dropping audio.

It would be good If it does not require UA Software with iLok at the same time. The way it's delivered is BS. Otherwise also the offerings. It's not worth IT.

Yep- it's a crash fest :)

Totally agree! I m going to uninstall immediately! Heaving the same issues on my machine! Luna doesn'twork at all at moment.

Yes, the same behavior on my Windows machine
Even if I manage to get it running, Internal mixdown or freeze tracks at 1024 buffer size crashes the DAW and all I can do is restart the Computer
frustrating, but rather surprising why the UA would release the Program in this catastrophic state.
By the way, the same problem appears on 3 different computers running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit that I currently own.
Studio one , reaper Cubase, even the old Samlitude doesn't have these weird issues. I hope they fix this at some point.
Thanks for posting the video.

reminds me of why I switched to a mac to begin with 😂 maybe it was on purpose for the people that wanted it to see exactly why you go with a mac

Video cards matter. Ram, sound cards or space doesn't compensate for visual lag. I've learned that the hard way in modern times. DAWs & plugins have framerated interfaces.

3rd party plugin registrations do cause the scan to collapse often. I simply kept reopening the app until it ignored the plugins with issues. It's tedious but it worked. But then again I have every popular Vst in existence. 🧏🏾‍♂️

No problems here in win 11

Works well on my Win 11 machine. The only gripe I have so far is that there is 1) no VST2 support and 2) as far as I can tell, there is nowhere to specify which folders to scan for VSTs. They simply hard coded C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 ... THAT to me is painful!

my pc is mediocre, 4core/8threads 4ghz i3 13th gen, 32gb ddr4 3200. MSI MB, firewire interface MR816. Luna works good.
My problem is with outputs assignment for a main bus. there is no option, Luna sets out 1 and 2 there by default. my workaround is to have an extra PFL send on main bus to my desired output and muting daw input on channels 1 and 2 on my device mixer, took me few seconds.
another problem is lack of multichannel send for superior drummer like vst's.
other than that I love it. my MCU controller works great.

Dzięki za to wideo. Myślałem, że jestem jedyny, który miał problem z uruchomieniem i działaniem LUNY. Choć u mnie to już się zaczęło od prób zalogowania się do ich systemu zabezpieczeń. A gdy w końcu zainstalowałem, to odkryłem, że uruchomienie możliwe było dopiero ...po wywaleniu i zainstalowaniu ponownie. A gdy już odpalił, to uznał, że wolnych 50GB na SSD to za mało, więc odmówił utworzenia nowego projektu. Może i wygląda intuicyjnie, a w wersji na Maca działa perfekcyjnie, lecz na Windows to potrzebuje komputerów z NASA. I tylko żeby uruchomić na nim Lunę i nic innego w tle.

Initially I couldn’t get it to open.
I moved one of my folders out of the usual vst3 path and that solved my problem. The DAW runs great. If you’re getting that weird message about some plugin resources not being present or whatever, look at the bottom of the splash page and take note of what plugin it’s getting hung up on consistently. Move that plug-in folder, for me it was Ozone, to another folder and then add that folder to the vst3 search path for your primary DAW so that you’ll have access next time you open it, then you’re all set. The only problem I have with any consistency is the counter all of a sudden getting stuck at 1|1|000. Sometimes I can just restart the DAW but often enough I have to restart my computer. This is a very rare occurrence and may or may not occur more frequently when I have the transport counter set to minutes and seconds. Yeah other than that no problems to speak of. One of the best functioning betas I’ve ever used…so far.

I think is something to do with your Audio Interface crashed by Luna software, maybs

it works like a charm in my case. kind suggestion for newcomers: restart pc before using it.
