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