Universal Audio LUNA Pro 2.0 DAW (Software Download)

Universal Audio LUNA Pro 2.0 takes the free LUNA recording system and expands it into a complete analog-inspired production environment for Mac and Windows users. It transforms your workflow with built-in tape, console and summing extensions, 29 UAD plug-ins and instruments, pro-level ARA editing tools and full hardware insert support—no UA interface required. It's designed for producers, engineers and songwriters who want the sound and feel of an analog studio inside a digital workstation, LUNA Pro brings together industry-standard UAD processing, seamless hardware integration and professional vocal and mix tools in one powerful package.

Analog Warmth With Built-In LUNA Extensions

LUNA Pro delivers the authentic sound and workflow of an analog studio through deeply integrated extensions. The Studer Multitrack Tape and Ampex Master Tape modules bring natural tape saturation and vintage depth to every session, while the API Vision Console extension recreates the tone and summing of a world-class analog desk. The inclusion of Hardware Inserts allows you to route outboard gear through LUNA with automatic delay compensation and instant preset recall, equating to a hybrid workflow that bridges the gap between classic hardware and modern digital production.

UAD Plug-ins, Instruments and ARA Tools for Full Production Control

With 29 included UAD plug-ins, LUNA Pro equips your sessions with the same tools used on countless hit records. Shape mixes with the API Vision Channel Strip, 1176 and LA-2A compressors, Fairchild limiter and Pultec EQs. Add warmth with Verve Analog Machines, Oxide Tape Recorder and Pure Plate Reverb. The virtual instrument suite includes the Opal Morphing Synth, Waterfall B3 Organ, Ravel Grand Piano and PolyMAX Synth, complemented by the ChordAXE Lite MIDI effect for creative harmonic ideas. For editing, ARA integration brings Melodyne Essential and DynAssist Lite directly into your workflow for intuitive vocal tuning and dynamics control without leaving the mix window.

Native Operation on Mac and Windows

LUNA Pro runs natively on both macOS and Windows systems—no Apollo or UAD-2 hardware required. Producers can now use UAD plug-ins and instruments directly within the LUNA environment while maintaining full compatibility with existing UA hardware for real-time tracking and hybrid mixing. This flexibility lets you take your sessions from the studio to a laptop without losing access to your tools or tone, making LUNA Pro ideal for professional environments and mobile setups alike.
