What is a Feature Preview?
Feature Previews are an opportunity for users to help evaluate and provide feedback on work in progress to the LUNA development team. From music machine learning experiments and new DAW interaction concepts such as voice control, to standard DAW features that are still in early stages, we want to engage the community in building the best possible products.
The LUNA team invites anyone interested to try these new feature experiments and help us make them as useful and enjoyable as possible. By sharing your experiences, opinions, and wishes with the LUNA feedback button, you will help us get these features over the finish line.
How do I enable Feature Previews?
- Open LUNA.
- From the CREATE page, click PREVIEW UPCOMING FEATURES.
- Click TURN ON FEATURE PREVIEW at the bottom of the page.

Is there a way to remove the “stop recording” phrase from recordings automatically?
