I completely understand you, but I don’t think the mono track issue is a design flaw. It’s simply not possible at the moment, but that doesn’t mean we won’t get an update for it. Just be patient.Tbh I don't see how that would help with the situation/problem. The Spill-function does soemthing else as far as I get it (and tbh something far less useful in my opinion)You can also simply press Spill, and then you’ll only see the bus and the respective routed tracks. All others will be hidden.Don't get me wrong - I quite like the concept and design overall - it reminds me of Reason - which I why I find quite a shame that it's a lot well thought-through in many regards. And frankly I don't think it's missing features for the most part of it -well, lack of ARA for instance certainly is - but that mono-track thing clearly seems to be a crass misconception. And likewise that there are Bus-tracks that - potential automation aside - will be completely empty yet can't be hidden only for the timeline without also hiding them in the mixer (i.e. the place where you'll almost exclusively are going to use them).But I think in the future we will still get features like mono-to-stereo tracks, folders, and much more. The last update alone was fantastic with track presets and bounce in place. Luna 2.0 is not far off, and I hope they continue delivering features we’re asking for, as they’ve done so far. Especially the MIDI editor is still missing quite a few things.
Reason handles busses very similarly. However they won't appear in the sequencer unless you automate something. Only then they'll automatically appear - but of course you can always remove them again without removing them from the mixer.
In Luna-land on the other hand they obviously didn't give any thought to that.
New features like Bounce in Place are very well thought out, and I haven’t seen this yet in some established DAWs.
Personally, I prefer having bus tracks visible in the arranger because I mostly mix exclusively in the arranger. Constantly switching to the mixer, especially without a second monitor, is pretty exhausting. It’s a good thing that, unlike Reason, Luna has a channel visible in the arranger.
And yes, Luna is perfect for mixing. Here are a few positives:
•All plugins work seamlessly.
•You can freeze tracks.
•Routing is fast and straightforward.
•The time-stretch algorithms are excellent.
•Audio editing (cutting, fades in and out, etc.) is super quick with shortcuts.
•The audio waveform display is clean.
•You can import tracks from other sessions.
•All types of tracks can be saved as presets and added to the arranger via drag-and-drop from the browser.
•On the output meter, you can enable or disable all plugins simultaneously.
Overall, I’m very satisfied. It’s not perfect yet, but as long as the features keep coming and remain free, I really can’t complain.
