Explore our free DAW update with Voice Control, Instrument Detection, and Smart Tempo tools.
With new AI-powered tools that streamline your workflow and keep you in the zone, LUNA is more than a DAW — it’s your personal studio assistant. From tracking a band to building beats or jamming in your home studio, LUNA’s newest features make recording easier, so you can sound like the records you love.
Record Hands-Free
Whether you’re behind the mic or drum kit across the room, Voice Control* helps you stay in the creative zone without going back and forth between your instrument and computer keyboard. Just say “Hey LUNA…” and a command like “start recording” or “stop.”
It’s like having a studio assistant at the controls, so you can capture inspiring takes without breaking your focus.
Keep Your Session Organized
Instrument Detection helps organize your session automatically, for one less thing to think about while tracking — and a huge help when it’s time to clean up, comp, or mix.
Here’s how it works:
-
Tracks are named and color-coded based on the instrument you play.
-
The right warp algorithm is chosen automatically, so edits and timing adjustments feel more natural.
“AI-powered tools in LUNA v1.9 start to make it feel like a behind-the-scenes music recording partner, not just a DAW.”
Bill Putnam Jr., CEO, Universal Audio
Play Free with Smart Tempo
Your song’s tempo is the heart of your music. LUNA’s Smart Tempo tools listen to your playing and adapt to your performance — so the DAW responds to your timing and rhythm, not the other way around.
-
Tempo Listen: LUNA listens to performances and sets the metronome to match — giving you a more natural and inspiring start to your session.
-
Tempo Detection: LUNA automatically detects the tempo of any audio loop dropped into the timeline. This keeps everything perfectly in sync within sessions, and helps you build ideas faster and stay in the flow.
-
Tempo Extraction: LUNA can now extract a dynamic tempo map from tracks or stems — including tempo changes and natural timing variations. This makes it easy to edit and arrange while preserving the original feel.
