Scrolling lyrics insideLUNA

LUNA is built around fast, analogue-feeling tracking, which means fewer interruptions and longer takes. That only works if the singer can keep going — LyricsRunnerVST scrolls the lyrics in sync with the LUNA timeline so nobody has to stop and ask where they are.

The LUNA vocal-recording workflow

Step 1

Insert on the vocal channel

Add it to an insert slot on the vocal track. The signal passes through unchanged, so your chain stays exactly as you built it.

Step 2

Paste the lyrics

Drop the sheet in and let blank lines separate verses and choruses for easier reading at speed.

Step 3

Set the first word

Place the playhead at the first sung word and set the start marker once. The scroll then follows LUNA's transport.

Step 4

Give the singer a screen

Float the window onto a second display or TV in the live room and record long, uninterrupted passes.

LUNA FAQ

Does LyricsRunnerVST run in Universal Audio LUNA?

Yes, as a VST3 insert. It reads LUNA's transport position to keep the lyrics aligned with the song.

Will it affect the sound of my UAD chain?

No. It passes audio through untouched and only draws text, so your UAD processing is unchanged.

Can the singer see it in the live room?

Yes — float the window to a second monitor or TV facing the booth. That is the most common setup.
