Universal Audio LUNA Analog Essentials Bundle

Universal Audio LUNA Analog Essentials Bundle. This package includes four essential pillars for professional analog recording: the Neve and API analog summing units, as well as the integrated Studer and Ampex tape machines, all at significant savings compared to purchasing individual products. With this bundle, you will have access to the UAD-2 plugin versions of the Studer and Ampex tape machines, seamlessly integrated into the LUNA mixer's fabric. LUNA Tape and Summing Extensions go beyond traditional plugins, offering authentic analog sounds without having to manage various plugin windows.Neve® SummingThe Neve Summing Extension, developed in collaboration with AMS Neve, emulates the entire summing circuit of an iconic Neve 80 series console, including the highly sought-after 1272 bus amplifiers. This gives LUNA mixes the characteristic color and three-dimensional nonlinearities typical of Neve's most famous analog console, as heard on influential records such as Nirvana's "Nevermind" and Queen's "Jazz".API® SummingThe API Summing extension, developed in collaboration with API, emulates the 2520 op-amp and custom output transformer-based summing amplifiers found in their legendary analog consoles. This gives LUNA mixes the attitude and distinctive tone of esteemed API analog desks, featured in famous productions like Stevie Wonder's "Talking Book", Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" and Radiohead's "Hail to the Thief".Studer® Analog TapeThe Studer A800 has long been the producers' favorite tape for its warm analog sound, solid low-end, and musical presence. With LUNA, you can use the Studer A800 as an extension to achieve tape character on every audio and instrument track, with the ability to easily change settings across all channels. This will allow you to experience the cumulative "cohesion" of magnetic tape mixing, with its typical warm sound so appreciated.Ampex® ATR-102 Mastering Tape RecorderThe ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder, the perfect complement to the Studer A800 workhorse, adds the final "analog polish" to your mixes. This legendary tape machine has always transformed recordings into records, thanks to its low-end punch and musical tape saturation. By using the ATR-102 as a LUNA extension, you can achieve album-ready Ampex tape tones on LUNA's fader and buses, with all the authentic characteristics of dynamics, tone, and saturation of the original hardware units.
