What's New with LUNA?

Smart Tempo Tools

Loop Tempo Detection

LUNA now detects the tempo of any loop-length file imported to the timeline, adding new layers on-beat as you build up your track.

To start using tempo detection for loops:

1. Ensure CLIPS FOLLOW SESSION TEMPO is enabled on the create page when you create a new session.
2. Import a loop-length file to the timeline.
3. LUNA will automatically detect the tempo of the file and offer to keep the current session tempo or match to the file's tempo.
4. Additional files imported to the timeline automatically follow the session tempo.

Smart Tempo Tools

Tempo Listen Mode

Cue the whole band, strum your guitar, or jam on your favorite virtual instrument. Let LUNA’s Tempo Listen mode set the metronome to your playing.

Your first take will be as confident and natural as possible since LUNA listened to your rhythm, not the other way around.

To start using Tempo Listen mode:

1. Set up one or more tracks for recording and ensure they are audible through your headphones or speakers.
2. Click BPM in the session toolbar directly above the current tempo display.
3. Click LISTEN under DETECT TEMPO on the BPM popover.
4. LUNA listens to your playing and sets the metronome to your rhythm.
5. Click APPLY when you're satisfied with the BPM.

Smart Tempo Tools

Tempo Map Extraction

2. Click BPM in the session toolbar directly above the current tempo display.

5. To extract a tempo map for a precise set of tracks or range of time, first select what you want to analyze in the timeline. Then choose to Extract from Selection.
6. Average tempo options will appear in the expanded tempo ruler. Select the average tempo you want to use for the session map, and the map will update automatically (you can change this setting without altering your audio).
