Universal Audio has released Luna v1.2.12, which includes native Apple Silicon support.
Designed for seamless integration with Apollo audio interfaces, Luna is a free Mac‑based recording application that facilitates music recording, audio editing, composition, sound design, and more – all in real time, and with an analogue studio sound.
Also new for Luna v1.2.12 software (for Thunderbolt-equipped Macs) is an audio quantize function, MCU control surface support and sidechain input.
As of now, Luna, Luna Extensions and UAD Instruments run natively on Apple M1/M2 processors, although UAD Instruments (Shape Expansion and Spitfire Audio) require updates for native Apple silicon.
Also new is an improved system performance when importing or editing large amounts of MIDI data, while double-clicking the loop region in the loop ruler now toggles loop mode.
Bugs that have been resolved in v1.2.12 comprise:
An issue that could prevent Luna from relaunching UA Connect on launch.
An issue that prevented using Luna offline after logging in previously with an iLok USB present.
An issue that could prevent Luna from restoring with the last used window size.
An issue that could cause certain sessions to restore without the last used View settings.
An issue that could prevent saving a Waterfall B3 or Opal preset.
An issue that prevented Oxide UAD-2 plug-in user presets from appearing in the Oxide Tape preset browser.
An issue that prevented changing Oxide Tape extension presets.
Export Mixdown file names list once again responds to Command + up/down arrow keyboard shortcuts to navigate through the list.
A licensing issue that could occur when launching Luna if the user's iLok cloud session was open on another computer.
