I recently downloaded Luna and have enjoyed using it so far - but look forward to seeing what PR4 has to offer! Having read some of the posts here, I realise that there are going to be many improvements in the next version.

Having looked at some screenshots of CMusic 1.5 though - it seems like it has a lot of features that Luna doesn't - such as a better sequencer clock, loop button on the control panel etc... things which I know are due for the next release of Luna.

I was under the impression that Luna is newer and destined to be a more advanced (sophisticated) application than CMusic. If not, then perhaps I should go and buy Computer Music magazine and try it out, even if it's a limited version.

Any thoughts?

According to the program's author: "CMusic 1.5 corresponds to LUNA PR3." And I believe PR3 is what's currently on the MUTOOLS site for download. There's a comparison of the versions here.

That said, I just bought Computer Must #103, so I'll be able to directly compare once I get a little studio time.

The loop button thing is a skinning issue, I think...

CMusic should be a stripped down version of Luna unlimited, but more feature packed than Luna free.

I really like CMUSIC. Skip the skin feature, the whole idea is "sleek", isn't it? Handling VSTi's and VSTFX's well and not getting in the way? In fact, a friend was frustrated, he couldn't find his way around, well he's used to "serious" applications like proj5, sonar etc. Bah! Double bah! Triple bah!!!

since mulab 1.0 is released now, will there be a CMusic 2.0 anytime soon?

CMusic is commissioned by Computer Music magazine as and when they fancy it. It's probably better to ask them if they'll be buying an update from Jo - if they weren't planning it, the more they get bugged about it, the more likely they are to do so.

Is CMusic 1.5 more sophisticated than Luna?
