Neve® Summing
-
The only authentic emulation of Neve console summing — exclusively for LUNA.
A major ingredient behind thousands of influential, chart-topping records, Neve 80 series consoles are without equal. These classic analog desks — made famous in the Sound City documentary — deliver three-dimensional nonlinearities and analog heft that infuses your mixes with vibrancy and color.
Developed in partnership with AMS Neve exclusively for LUNA Recording System, Neve Summing Extension emulates the entire summing circuit of an iconic Neve 80 series console — including its coveted 1272TM bus amplifiers — giving your LUNA mixes all the color of Neve's most cherished analog desk.Easily add width, depth, and character to your mixes with the first authentic emulation of Neve analog summing
Sum individual channels or your entire mix through Neve's iconic 1272 line amplifiers
Harness the complex nonlinearities and musical clipping of Neve's classic 80 series console
Use per-bus Headroom, Trim, and Impedance controls for subtle tone sculpting over your entire mix
Genuine Neve Summing for your Mixes
Far beyond a “summing plug-in,” Neve Summing is an Extension built into LUNA's mixer that emulates every characteristic of both the source and bus channels — including original Neve 80 series’ console fader taper and pan law. This workflow eliminates the need to manage multiple plug-in windows. Simply use the per-bus Headroom control to add color and dynamic enhancement, then season even more with the selectable Impedance switch.
Why Neve Summing?
When audio sources flow through the transformers and custom-built op-amps of a classic Neve 80 series desk — in particular its coveted 1272 line amplifiers — random analog nonlinearities combine to produce harmonic magic. These summed signals add character, depth, and dimension, for a more cohesive and vibrant mix.
Authentic Down to the Last Detail
For more than two years, UA dissected and studied multiple vintage Neve 80 series consoles and their components — poring over original service manuals and gaining crucial insight into its Class A transformer/transistor circuitry. UA's team of engineers impeccably emulated all of the original hardware's nonlinearities and clipping characteristics, yielding results that are virtually indistinguishable from the original console.
“Switching DAWs is a big undertaking, but I can definitely see LUNA finding a place in people’s workflows. I love Ravel, Moog Minimoog, and Neve Summing — plus it works seamlessly with Apollo.”
– RAC
“LUNA's integration with my Apollos lets me forget that I'm using a computer to make music. The crazy-low latency workflow of LUNA has further blurred the line between production and mixing for me — with LUNA, I can just make records.”

I HAVE PRO MASTERS NOW!!
Wow this really was the one element that has set my music back for all these years !!! After getting Neve Summin I did a shootout with 21 different versions of the same song with all the popular limiters and some non popular. I have now changed my workflow thanks to this plugin!! So many less plugins I need to use and my sound comes out amazing with just have the neve sum turned on it’s insane what it does with no alterations. If your mixes are complete this combined with ozone can really turn your mixes and masters to pro level !!

I didn't expect that!
I just recently purchased the Neve Summing during the Summer Sale and I wasn't disappointed. Though I've been thrilled with the results of my API Summing thus far this Neve added character and tone that I was a step away from the API's punch yet enriching my signal in such a unique way. These LUNA-only help tools integrate the UA DAW into a truly unique recording and mixing experience unlike it's competition. Needless to say, it's been very difficult going back to my old DAWs after this! :))

It’s like fine wine for sound
I put this on most tracks for it’s subtle but distinctive flavour. Would like the option for a console also because I feel the API needs more colour for my taste.
L. Rothman
Instant Rich Clarity with Full Body
Neve at his best. A flip of the switch and you have better definition of detail added with richness you won't get any other way. Worth every penny.
T. Long
Sound great…
This is a really fun extension that gives you a ton of depth, openness , and sonic cohesion that I honestly have not heard before from a plugin or extension as this is described. I don’t know what it’s doing per se, but I know that it sounds aMaZing. At least try the demo and hear for yourself.
T. Long
Great Sound
It just adds this smoothness to the track.
Talk about glue, man this thing is sUper glue.
Great sound. Glad I got it. Well worth the investment.M. Antebi
Adding Flavor to each stip
A different color to the working channel rather the API, and it is hardy consume CPU.
N. PITLOGLOU
A must have for LUNA
Just amazing! You can mix through this on buses and mix bus, but start first a rough mix without this. Then drop it in each bus and listen ... listen... You'll immediately feel that you are some little more steps to finish the mix. Amazing character, depth and width with Neve signature . A must have!
G. Spiridion
Nice
Very nice. Clear and good sound.
S. Tanner
Very handy
In Luna it is very cool to acting like on a real desk. It makes me feel better and gives me the comfort of the analog.
A. Lomko
Amazing!
I will say this, Universal Audio separated my sound before and after. And I really like my "after" sound. And Neve Summing works wonders.
C. Brown
Warm Sizzle
Wow, what can I say? Summing with Neve gave warmth and saturation that gave me the color and sound I enjoy in a mix.
D. Jackson
Fantastic
I absolutely love using these on my busses and on the master channel. It adds a really nice warm tone and helps to glue everything together. It was the missing piece in my workflow.
