Tips

For balanced processing on stereo material
  1. Set the Vari Mu “Sep/Link” control to Link (this only links the amount of compression).
  2. Set the robotic link L/R at the top left of the equipment panel to “Absolute”.
  3. Adjust the left-side settings to get “close” to what you want (even though it is probably still a little imbalanced).
  4. Uncheck the robotic link L/R.
  5. Adjust the left or right side independently to balance the audio with your ears.
