Universal Audio UAD LUNA Studio

DAW Software

Create music with the world's smartest, best-sounding DAW.


Turn Your Ideas Into Records

LUNA Studio is packed with smart features that keep you in creative control and plug-ins trusted by chart-topping artists.

With LUNA, you'll have all the tools to unlock your creativity and make music that feels like you.


Start Creating In Seconds

LUNA Play is a fast new way to record.

Like a voice memo app designed just for making music, it automatically detects your instrument, sets levels, and suggests great presets with UAD plug-ins.

You can isolate tracks and jam along with songs or capture your original ideas.


Produce Music with Cutting-Edge Tools

Use stem separation to split any song into individual elements, lyric transcription to navigate your session with lyrics instead of waveforms, tempo detection to have LUNA follow along with your playing, and much more.


Mix with the Plugins Used By Top Artists

Unlike the stock plug-ins included with other DAWs, LUNA gives you the same premium tools trusted by industry pros.

You'll get everything you need to make music that feels at home on a playlist with your favorite songs.

Digital Products


Digital Products are delivered electronically either via your order status page, or via email.

No physical product will be shipped to you!


In most cases, the product you purchase from us is a serial number/license code/activation code to register the product with the manufacturer and download directly from them. This ensures you receive the latest version of products, and the best support when necessary.

After purchase, your license code and relevant links will appear on your order status page, or they will be sent to you by email.

For detailed instructions on the registration/download process, you can visit our dedicated page by clicking here: Install Instructions.


The Basics

iLok is a copy protection method used by many of our brands.

It has 3 types of activations, iLok USB, iLok Machine, and iLok Cloud.

Different brands/products will offer different iLok methods. iLok USB is always an option, but the availability of iLok Cloud and iLok Machine methods is at the discretion of the software developer.


iLok Account

For all iLok protected products, you will need an iLok account. You can create one for free here: ilok.com/#!registration


iLok License Manager

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

You can download the latest installers from the iLok website: ilok.com/#!home


iLok USB Key

iLok USB

This activation is stored on an iLok 2 or 3 USB key.

It is the best option for portability, if you frequently move between multiple machines, and offline use.


iLok Machine ID

Machine ID

This activation is stored locally on your computer.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.

This option also requires extra care when you upgrade to a new computer, the license(s) must be deactivated on your old machine first to ensure you do not lose them.


iLok Cloud

iLok Cloud

This activation is based online, and requires a "cloud session" using the iLok License Manager.

It requires an active internet connection for the entire time you use the plugin(s).
