Thank you! Curious how you’re using Superior Drummer. You said you take individual tracks from SD? How are you doing that? A video on SD integration in Luna would be great Matt.
You’re very welcome! I’ve got a couple on SD in Luna. I’ll add the links here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/maqDq8-MetiadZs.htmlsi=7JCK2cf42kCpck-d kzread.info/dash/bejne/d2ShlsOvnrXHj7w.htmlsi=1cANxBvkB9H1HxQI All of my videos are also showcased on my website - where you can just click a thumbnail and it will load up in KZread for you. www.distantsunstudios.uk Thanks again for your support and I hope that helps! 😉👍 Matt

Of great interest! Yes 🙌 I have the Console 1 MK 3 as well!
Thanks so much - that’s great to know! Yes, it will be no surprise to you that I think it’s probably the best control surface I’ve ever used 🔥👍 thanks again for watching, and have a great weekend, Matt
No hardware inserts.. Unbelievably stupid of UA. Plus you have to PAY for the ONE THING THAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - Digital Summing. No thanks

This was great Matt. It's cool to see where the magic takes place. Encore💥
@Russplight - you're very welcome, so pleased you enjoyed it! It really didn't take me very long to put together - I should probably do more of these. Thanks again for your kind words and have a great weekend man! Matt
Thanks Matt!!!
No worries! Thanks so much for watching and have a great weekend! Matt
I love the pro q 3 that he doesn't use because it saves me so much time, but I also use pultecs and Neve 1073's and all kinds of eq's after, its just that for correction, always gonna pro q 3 first.
Wow!Thank you so much for the help. I have been trying to do this for a while inside Luna.Thanks again for the wonderful videos.
You’re very welcome - I’m only too happy to help! There are quite a few tips like this - almost hidden in some of my videos as a byproduct of the mixed prowess. Here’s a link to the inside the mix playlist - which is where I took that excerpt from. Have a wonderful week and thanks again so much for your support!

Nice video as always Matt. Could you do a vid showing how to use LUNA's warp markers to align background/stacks vocals using the lead track similar to Vocalign? LUNA has a feature where you can use a specific track as the guide to align other tracks grouped together. Drew did a video aligning drums this way but not vocals. Cheers!
Thanks so much for your kind words - so pleased that you're enjoying the videos! I certainly add your video suggestion to my list, a really good idea 👍I've got a lot to get through at the moment - but will get to it when I can! Thanks again and have a wonderful evening! Matt

Your added sound effects are truly annoying. Just sayin'...
Hi Michael - thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment. I must admit that I’ve only been experimenting with the sound effects recently. I’m on the fence about using them - so that’s really helpful to know. My aim certainly isn’t to annoy anyone! Thanks again, Matt 👍
Hi Matt. Once you have created a loop area in the orange header, how do you delete that loop section when it is not needed any longer. Also, is there a way in the timeline to rewind a little or fast forward rather than using the transport controls to just go to the beginning or end of the session.
@@albrat2870 great to hear from you and really good questions! I have to admit I haven’t been able to find the way of removing the unused orange highlight on the loop ruler once it isn’t needed anymore. Thank you for reminding me, I need to ask Drew about that one! There are a couple of ways to move around the timeline quickly. If you click on the three vertical lines to toggle on the mix workflow, which is located to the right hand side of the navigation play / stop buttons at the top - after the global and monitor headers. This will reveal the tracks in small horizontal lines and you can click to move the play head wherever you like. The other method is to create markers for the different sections of the song, and you can then jump from one marker using the shortcuts control option L or control option , You can just double click on a marker and that will take you there as well. I hope that helps and let me know if a video would be helpful and I’ll add it to the list! Thanks again and have a great day! Matt
@@DistantSunStudios Thanks for the prompt reply Matt. Useful information on moving around the timeline. I have been testing the beta version for Windows for the past month and it is very well designed from a GUI standpoint as well as functional layout. I have been spoilt using Reaper for the past 4 years which is very customizable and lacks nothing from a user standpoint. While Luna for Windows is still in Beta and could be a lot more customizable, the main aim of a DAW is to get the best possible recording, mix and master and Luna excels in that area, so I think I will be moving across.
No problem at all - only to happy to help! That's great that you are moving over to Luna - as I'm sure you've gathered - I absolutely love it! All the best, Matt
Fix your plugins first!!! The Ampex ATR for example has no delay anymore.. also this Ilok is a nogo for lots of us remove the ilok funktion!😊😊
Thank you!
You're welcome! Only to happy to help 👍 All the best, Matt
Very interesting insights. I always love hearing how people think through their mixes. Thanks for sharing!
Hello,could you please do a video on Bus Routing of tracks inside Luna like creating Drum bus,Instrument buses etc. And do you know how to print the Master Inside LUNA just like Pro Tools?
@vts404 thanks so much for watching and taking the time to make a couple of video suggestions - I really appreciate it! I've added the Mixdown / Print video to my list! \ But I've been working away the last few days - and here's Bus Routing in Luna for you 😉 kzread.info/dash/bejne/o52Fr9WHe7DPnaw.htmlsi=jNvJp5fAIHDEtF44 Thanks again and have a wonderful week! Matt
@@DistantSunStudios Thank you so much!:)
Can I add a topic? Outboard send fx… cue mix or wet track as a solution?👏🏻👋🏼👋🏼
Thank you so much, on my way to an intermediate LUNA user, this content is magic.👏🏻👋🏼👋🏼
Hey, this is great, thank you. LUNA is OK for Tracking I guess, and it's got so much going for it. For many people though, it's just not there yet and given the following is still nowhere to be seen after all these years, it's safe to assume they'll never get around to implementing these things and they just don't want to do it. You can't use your outboard hardware, as there are no time compensated hardware inserts, which makes it redundant and useless for anyone wanting to use outboard. No ARA2, no multi outs and the editing on midi is useless as there is no info regarding note details. I can't understand UAD for ignoring and not implementing these things, but I guess they're just marketing LUNA at beginners. I've heard them talking about switching between DAWs and LUNA to use the basic functionality that isn't there on LUNA, but who would do that? I don't have time to mess about doing that and I don't think I'm the only one.
@athonygraham8353 - thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment - I really appreciate it! All very valid points, and I 100% agree, you don't want to be switching from one DAW to another. I know that both VI multi-outs & hardware inserts are highly requested features for Luna. Here's a link to a clip and the full interview that I did with Drew from UA earlier this year - I asked him about both of there head on. 😉 Have a great day and thanks again!

Great video-Thak You!!!
@angelojannotti7988 you’re very welcome! So pleased you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. Have a great weekend, Matt
It would be so nice if UAD would give LUNA a different set of shortcuts on German (and other) international keyboard layouts. The most basic stuff works, but all the interesting stuff that would really accelerate my workflow is not practical or memorizable on any non-US keyboard. Unfortunately they have not listened to my feature request yet. So if you want to do me a favor, please let them know that this is needed badly for international users...!
Hi thanks so much for watching - that's a really interesting comment! Out of interest, are you able to easily use and remember the shortcuts form another DAW? It's not a loaded question - I just wondered if you could assign the shortcuts from another DAW inside Luna if this would help? Also, I must admit that I use a Stream Deck for most of shortcuts across the software that I use. You can really easily program any keyboard combination or macro - then save it for a one button press. It also saves me having to remember them all! Here's a link to a promo video if you haven't come across them: kzread.info/dash/bejne/goOolo9xkpPPgKg.html Thanks again & have greet weekend! Matt
@@DistantSunStudios Hey Matt, the problem is not the memorising process, the main problem is that the LUNA shortcuts are tailored for US-keyboards. On a German keyboard layout you need to be a finger acrobat to reach certain combinations, while other combinations are not even possible to reach. I use some SSL controllers to which I assigned some shortcuts, but as you know, when you get fluent with the shortcuts on your keyboard you are able to really accelerate your workflow. But if you only can use some of them and they are not layed out intuitively its more a pain in the neck....
@@mennigmann Ah - I understand now! Yes, I totally get that. Out of interest - is the German keyboard layout supported in other pro apps? I also have an SSL UF8 which I use for a few shortcuts. I would be maybe look at a Stream deck - they're relatively inexpensive and you can use them on any application. At least you wouldn't be dependent on the developers to incorporate the German keyboard layout for you in software. I Hope that's of some help and thanks again for watching! Matt
@@DistantSunStudiosyes, Cubase, Logic and Ableton all have shortcut-sets customised for the localised keyboard layout you are using.
Thank you!

Hi Mathias - great to hear from you, you're very welcome! 👍 Have a great week, Matt
Nice one, but please, lower the music and pump up your voice.
Thanks so much - so pleased you enjoyed the video! Yes - I think enjoyed the music a bit too much in this one - will take it down a notch in the next video 👍 cheers, Matt
Thank you!
No problem at all - so pleased you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for letting me know - I really appreciate it! Have a great weekend 👍 Matt
after i select a section to loop, how do i keep the area i selected when i click to locate to a different area on the timeline?
Hey, thanks so much for watching and taking the time to ask the question. Could you let me know a little bit more of what you’re wanting to do? Are you looking to drop in on a recording, then loop over the selected area? Thanks again for tracking out & only to happy to help if I can 👍 Matt
@DistantSunStudios Hi Matt, I'm mainly producing music using midi. for example, i set my loop for 4 bars, then record midi. When I click anywhere on the timeline the 4 bar loop markers goes away. I then have to reselect the 4 bars again to make it loop. In studio one the loop markers stay no matter where I go in the timeline.
@@DistantSunStudios I found the answer on uad site : To make the looped region stay when you click on the timeline in LUNA, you need to disable the Link Edit/Play Selections feature. Here’s how you can do it: 1. From the LUNA menus, choose Navigation > Link Edit/Play Selections. 2. Alternatively, click the Link Edit/Play Selection icon on the Bars and Beats ruler. This will allow the looped region to remain active even when you make selections on the timeline.
Hi @tbonebeats6429 - thats great! I did have a look at it just now, and the main things I noticed are: - if you drag to create a loop at the very top of the screen - actually on the loop section (above BAR | BEATS), this will create a yellow area for selected the loop. - To the right of snap button, if you enable the "link edit / play section" icon, you can now position the playhead to move around the session and playback away from the loop. But if you go back the loop that will still be highlighted yellow (that you created before) and click on it, the loop will come straight back. - On the actual loop, you can also adjust the in and out points by dragging at the start / end, and if you select the loop and then hold down the mouse - you can drag to loop to another position in the time line. I hope that all makes sense! Have a great week, Matt
@@tbonebeats6429 I hope you had a great week and the music is going well! Following your question, I made a video around Loops (and included your question). It's something I'd like to do more often in the future when I have time. It goes out tonight at 5.45pm GMT, thanks again and have a great weekend.

Wonderful 🎉
Thanks so much - so pleased you enjoyed it! Have a great weekend 👍 Matt
LUNA needs a sample preview browser.
TBH, I didn’t hear any difference after listening twice. It just sounded similar to me.
Great video !!! Thanks for the free tips PDF Matt 😎

Cool stuff i love Luna thank you
You’re very welcome! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment - I really appreciate it 👍 Yes - I love Luna to bits, it just keeps going from strength to strength 👌🔥
Love your videos. Only one complaint....not enough. EXCELLENT!
Thanks so much - that’s made my day! I really appreciate your kind words, and have so much planned coming up - I just wish there were more hours in the day! Thanks again for watching 👍 All the best, Matt
AGREED!
Awesome! Did you also get the new Tape plugin free too??!! Sick!
Thanks so much @Darkest_of_Winter! Yes, I already had the UAD Version, so got the new ATR Master tape - it's on every mix! 🔥

Thank you for making these videos about Luna! Would it be possible to make a video showing how to make a Print of the click channel, Print of the audio channel and Print Channel Main? I'm waiting!!
You’re very welcome - thanks so much for watching, I’m so pleased that you’re enjoying them. Great suggestions for a Mixdown video, I’ve had a few requests for this one - hope to get too it soon 🤞👍 Thanks again for taking the time to get in touch, have a great weekend! All the best, Matt
Very nice! I’m on the hunt for a matchless now myself. Tough to choose between them with all the great models they’ve released.
Hi Mike, thanks so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it. Yes, it really is a tough choice when getting a Matchless for the first time. If you have a favourite amp style, then that can be a good place to start. - The lightning and HC 30 are very chimey - similar to a Vox. - The Laurel Canyon is more of a take on a fender deluxe. - The independence can be more of a high gain option. The 3015 does seem to set on its own. It’s a really unique tone. Unfortunately I no longer have mine, but I can say having also owned a beautiful HC 30, the 30/15 is probably my personal favourite! All the best and have fun hunting down your first Matchless! All the best, Matt
@@DistantSunStudios thanks for taking the time to break down those models! I actually just ordered a Benson monarch since they opened up the order list for the first time in a long time, but I’m going to pick up a matchless next when funds allow. The lightning seems like a good fit for what I’m after since it has some Vox flavor to it. I did recently see city and colour live, and Dallas Green had a 30/15 on stage that sounded amazing, as it does in your video. Thanks again! I’ll be looking forward to more content here. Take care!
@@mikewolfe9458 You’re very welcome Mike, yes on a big stage a Matchless always sounds fantastic! I was thinking about you this morning and looked up a couple of old emails with Phil. The C30 Ch1 is a top boost style circuit with two 12AX7’s and a Bass and Treble Control. - the Lightening is the 15 watt version of this circuit. The Nighthawk is based on the EF86 ch of the C-30. This video from Paul David’s show both channels beautifully 👍

I love Luna so much, I jumped on it the second it came out, and was looking into getting an Apollo at the same time, I did and bought another one, I loved that it was only Mac, I love that it's AU and everything about it that it was for people like me ha. And that finally we have a great DAW that actually gives you an old school workflow and sonic signature
Hello! The music in the intro is way too loud.
Luna is different than other DAWs indeed, it doesn't have any functions many people need on a daily basis that other DAWs do have. At this point you're better off with Garageband.
Both soubded great The high end sounded more shrill on amp A imo
Nice
Folks, make sure you’re taking advice from people who are actual experts and respected peers in the field they’re offering advice in, and not just some product rep or tech geek who doesn’t actually use the tools for a living as a professional. Too many people in the consumer music equipment business think they’re experts enough to give advice in areas they’re not actually experts or respected in. It’s an ego boost for them, and they usually have an ulterior motive. Heavy grain of salt here.
Luna Needs a media browser like studio one that can warp/sync and import loops samples etc
Another mixing tutorial which is really a commercial for plugins. Do a video whwre you don't name any specific plugins and I'll call it legit.
