LUNA Studio Black Friday pricing from Universal Audio comes to $99, 50% off, with the deal ending Nov 30, 2026. It is the full purchase of the LUNA DAW, and an upgrade path also exists for owners of LUNA v1 or LUNA v2.
Universal Audio positions LUNA Studio as a DAW that ships with 30 plugins, from instruments to effects, all carrying the UAD seal of quality.
It runs with any audio interface and is accelerated on Apollo and Volt hardware.
LUNA Play is the quick-capture side. Universal Audio describes it as a voice memo app built for making music: it detects your instrument, sets levels and suggests UAD plugin presets. You can also isolate tracks and jam along with songs.
The Smart Tools are powered by Moises. Stem separation splits a song into its parts, lyric transcription lets you move around a session by lyrics instead of waveforms, and tempo detection has LUNA follow your playing.
If you track through Apollo interfaces, you get authentic preamp and guitar amp emulations, realtime monitoring with UAD plugins and the routing set up for it.
The exclusive features are:
LUNA Extensions put tape and console emulations into the DAW itself. Studer A800 and Ampex ATR-102 tape sit on every track, and API Vision, API 2500 and API Summing cover console duty on any bus.
The instrument list includes the Opal Morphing Synthesizer, Waterfall B3 Organ, Ravel Grand Piano, PolyMAX Synth, Celemony Tonalic, Essential Synthesizer V Studio 2 Core and ChordAXE Lite.
The bundle covers these groups:
Pitch correction comes from Topline Vocal Tune and Celemony Melodyne essential. Audio cleanup and mastering are covered by Noiseworks, VoiceAssist Basic, Steinberg SpectraLayers Go and Steinberg WaveLab Go.
Universal Audio says these are the same plugins top artists have used for decades, rather than stock tools.
