Groove3 LUNA Jump Start

Ready to try Universal Audio's powerhouse DAW LUNA? You're in the right place. With this LUNA video tutorial course, you'll be on the fast track to quickly mastering this DAW and creating killer recordings in no time. Veteran Groove3 instructor and production expert Eli Krantzberg walks you through the process of recording and mixing a basic song from start to finish, familiarizing you along the way with all the key components, like the transport, tempo setting, recording/editing MIDI and audio, setting up a cue (headphone) mix, saving your work, using effects, and much more. By the end of the course, you'll be ready to start tracking your next project in LUNA right away! These LUNA videos are designed for new LUNA users.

To begin the course, Eli shows you how to properly set up your audio interface for recording/playback followed by how to set up a new session. Then you'll get an overview of the interface so you're well-acquainted with the main components (Focus Browser, Focus Channel, control bar, monitor section, etc.) as we move into specifics.

Next, Eli covers the transport controls, including loop playback, the "Play from Stop" feature, and the link edit/play selection options, as well as how to set the session tempo, timestretch audio files, add a count-in, route the click to individual headphone outs, etc. You'll also see how to create an empty track, use track presets, and even create your own track presets with tape and insert effects.

Over the remainder of this LUNA course, you'll learn about the other features, including recording MIDI (and quantizing the recording to correct timing issues), MIDI merge loop recording (building up a drum beat by looping the section and recording different drum pieces on each pass), audio recording setup (with independent cue mixes), MIDI/audio editing basics (move, copy, paste, delete, trim, etc.), saving your work (versions, bookmarks, revert points, auto backups), mixing your song (using sends, busses, insert plugins, etc.), exporting and bouncing (exporting specific tracks or the entire mix), and more!

LUNA is a powerful DAW with an attractive feature set, but it still has a hefty learning curve, as do all DAWs. This LUNA course is the easiest and fastest way to get up and running quickly and confidently with no headaches at all. By the end of this LUNA course, you'll be fluent in all the main areas of the DAW and able to work quickly and efficiently on your very first session.
