Great sound, beware fatal flaws:
The synth sounds great and is highly intuitive. I wish it had a HPF but otherwise it's great. Two major flaws, particularly for live use:
1. You have to license this via a physical iLok or have an internet connection. Ridiculous! It will not work otherwise, rendering it too risky if not completely useless for live applications. Please please UA, allow it to be licensed to the physical computer like just about every other plugin I use with iLok manager.
2. MIDI CCs are hard-coded into the plugin, so if you build a sound you're proud of, don't wiggle any knobs on any gear you have plugged in, because it can easily be ruined. Again, the risk here for live is insane. I had to use a Max4Live plugin to block all CCs to avoid ruining my sounds on the gig. Now I have to go rebuild them in a different VST having learned this...
So sadly it's just not all that useful unless you're super careful to print your sounds or turn off monitoring on the track.

Very versatile
I've read that it's the best emulation of an API 2500. I don't know, I just know that I love its versatility; And especially the punch he gives to the drums.

Analog Warmth
I haven't experienced using the real hardware, but this plugin really gives the exact taste of what I want. So warm and smooth.

It’s like having the real thing.
It stands up
For its true warmth and I have the same plugin in from Waves , but the details and the warmth of UAD , stands out.
Thank you UAD for bringing their innovative plugins into native domain. And also for the great deals and affordable pricing.
Thank you.

Solid with a very bright future
3:00 AM..I wake up with a little heartburn...checked my emails...found out LUNA is now FREE to Mac users...NO HARDWARE REQUIRED.
Kiss sleep goodbye.
Very clean look..very intuitive. A bit wonky tryna get my X Touch w/ 2 Extenders to work (keeps crashing LUNA) but I don't need the controllers to explore the features of the 100% FREE Full unlimited version of LUNA.
Included in the download:
•Oxide Tape Extension
•Shape Toolkit Instrument
•ARP Arpeggiator
•30-day trial of LUNA Pro Bundle
•30-day trial of Neve Summing
Pretty sweet. I can see why there is a ton of buzz going around. The API, and Neve components are outstanding and the Studer Tape is sweet. Impressed...so far.
The look of this DAW is beautiful. Functionality and form should go hand in hand (you listening Pro Tools?), at least I feel so. Aesthetically, LUNA drips with attention to detail, just like UAD's plugins. I am a sucker for a good looking DAW that goes for that analog desk look. Compared to Harrison Mixbus32c (which touts an analog workflow and does it well) it blows it away in this regard. The workflow can get a little cramped with the API Vision Ch Strip component inserted but that really depends on your monitors resolution and size (I have a 27" iMac) so a little work there to get the right look and feel for your own personal taste.
Since the initial download I went ahead and upgraded to the Pro Bundle with all the extra goodies. The API Vision Ch Strip component is a mainstay for my default. It creates a faster workflow and I find that I tend to save plugins for my busses. Throw in the API 2500 Bus Compressor Extension, API Preamp, and the API Summing Extension and you'll be in analog heaven.
Oh, and my controllers are all working now without a hitch.
Composing in LUNA is a snap. All the usual suspects are there. If you are coming from Pro Tools, Studio One, or even Logic/Garageband, you will find that LUNA is wholly capable of handling your songwriting needs. I recently composed a tune for my band Stanislav & The Lion using only the included Shape Toolkit Instrument and ARP Arpeggiator along with my M-Audio Oxygen 49 MIDI Controller. At 1st glance, the Shape Toolkit would appear to be rather simple, but it is a robust soft-synth that delivers the goods where it counts.
Wish list? SSL and Neve Ch Strip components...make it so!
In the short time that I have been using LUNA I have come to appreciate the straight-forward and intuitive design. No deep dive menus or unnecessary bloat which tends to show off the programmer's pedigree rather than the software's usability. As a signed musician whom records and mixes his own material, I need a DAW that feels more like an extension of the creative process. LUNA is certainly gaining ground in that aspect and the next few years will certainly bring to the fore just how powerful it will become.
Looks like I'm a LUNAtic.
Sorry...had to do it.

Better than expected
The only compressor that I can run all my enormous trailer percussion through without losing a single transient.
N. Pongsuwan
The sound is smooth, clear, and incredibly clean.
With the price during the promotion, it is considered very worthwhile.
