FANTASTiC | 01 July 2026 | 2.48 GB

This week we welcome back for a detailed mixing course using the much talked about new DAW from Universal Audio – Luna. Using Kirk’s soon-to-be-released remix of ‘Room Without a View’ by Steven Rutter & Bryoni from their album ‘Starcrossed’, this is a fascinating insight into how Kirk carries out his mixdown process. Starting with the export and import from one DAW to another to separate the production side of track creation and begin with fresh ears, we set up the mix before going through each element and bus group to fine-tune and get the track ready to be sent off for mastering. With a quick and straightforward GUI and workflow options, Luna is paving the way in which producers are tackling the mixdown process.
