I should have kept the BF, but I needed the money at the time. I have owned two Silver Face Quads with TB 2 cards, and a BF Apollo 8 Duo. If you read my signature, I currently own a Twin X Duo. I strongly advise you to buy an Apollo, not an Arrow. My one issue with your plan is the interface purchasing decision you are about to make. Luna is free, and you already own some UAD plugins. Just jump in and do it.įurthermore, you’re correct it is a win / win. Luna should be pretty easy to learn for you. lol.Ĭlick to expand.OK, I have to chime in here. I for one and not ashamed to admit I have not purchased any new UA hardware. If you are wary of losing-out on your investment, go with a used one so you can sell at or near the same price if it isn't to your liking. The only thing I really would nitpick about LUNA is that there are still quite a few missing features (instrument multi-out is the big one for me and controller support is promised sometime in 2021) so you would have to be willing to live with the whole "early adopter" thing.īut remember too - getting an Apollo will have great rewards for Logic as well. One cool thing about going LUNA is the tape, summing and console emulation all run native on your CPU which frees-up a LOT of DSP for your other UAD plugins. I think it sounds fantastic and it's a whole lot easier to get there than it was in Studio One. Hey, I went and bought a MAC just so I could try LUNA and here I am now another Twin and another QUAD Satellite later so, I sure was hooked. If you already own the ATR and Studer then you will have access to those as well and the LUNA Analog Essentials bundle becomes pretty cheap to add Neve and API Summing. Well when you consider LUNA comes with Oxide Tape you can get that tape sound right out of the gate. I would say just try it but you do have to buy an Apollo to do that, so that could end up being costly So basically, nobody can answer your question because we all have different workflows. I make mixes that are sounding good in pro tools and not as good with Logic (still use logics for composing/demos but always do the final stuff and mixing in pro tools). They have different ways to handle the signal flow, for example the way summing extensions in Luna is pretty unique, that will impact the sound of your mix in the end. Now having said that, different daws inspire different workflows, leading to different sounding mixes. I'm actually not 100% sure about Luna, but I think if you don't load any extensions or whatever it's pure digital/clean.īasically, you take say 20 tracks, put them all in different daws (logic, pro tools, studio one, etc.), same gain, no panning no nothing, all faders at 0, they will null. All daws sound the same, the exception being those with processing already baked in that you can't bypass (Harrison mixbus for example).
