Our View
Making high quality software available for free has to be applauded. Whilst the software is not available for Windows users, Mac users now have another high quality option, that is a viable alternative to Apple's own free DAW Garageband.
Compared to Garageband, LUNA has a few advantages:
- Functional Depth: LUNA’s array of built-in tools and unlimited track count offers substantial functionality for recording and mixing.
- Cost-Effectiveness: The transition to a free model provides significant value, especially for those new to music production or seeking an alternative DAW.
- Ease of Transition: For users familiar with other DAWs, LUNA’s intuitive interface facilitates a smooth switch.
Pricing
- LUNA Free Download: LUNA is now available at no cost for all Mac users.
- LUNA Pro Bundle: Priced at $399, offering additional features and extensions.
