Neve Summing
Developed in partnership with AMS Neve exclusively for LUNA Recording System, the Neve Summing Extension emulates the entire summing circuit of an iconic Neve 80 series console—including its coveted 1272TM bus amplifiers. Far beyond a simple summing plug-in, Neve Summing is an Extension built into LUNA's mixer, eliminating the need to manage multiple plug-in windows and giving your LUNA mixes all the color of Neve's most cherished analog desk.
API Summing
From Stevie Wonder's Talking Book and Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, to Radiohead's Hail to the Thief the mid-forward punch of API's classic analog consoles breathe life into your mixes. Developed in partnership with API, the API Summing Extension emulates the 2520 op-amp and custom output transformer-based summing amps found in legendary API consoles—giving your LUNA mixes the attitude and tone of API's esteemed analog desks.
Studer Analog Tape
Producers have long gravitated to the warm analog sound, solid low-end, and musical presence of the Studer A800. With LUNA, use the Studer A800 as a LUNA Extension, and get tape character on every audio and instrument track, easily tweaking settings across all channels. As you build up your mix, you'll hear the cumulative cohesiveness of mixing from magnetic tape. Plus, you can add analog complexity by mixing and matching up to four tape machines, using different tape formulas and per-track controls.
Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder
The perfect complement to the workhorse Studer A800, the ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder adds the final analog polish to your mixes. Since its inception, this legendary tape machine has turned recordings into records with its low-end punch and musical tape saturation. Using the ATR-102 as a LUNA Extension, get instant album-ready Ampex tape tones on LUNA's master fader and buses with all the authentic dynamics, tone, and saturation characteristics of the original analog hardware.
