Vari-Mu Compressors: Everything You Need to Know

Learn about vari-mu compressors with Justin Colletti as he walks through SPL IRON and the NEOLD V76U73, two popular vari-mu compressors in the Plugin Alliance MEGA Bundle.

Vari-mu compressors, or variable bias compressors, contain tubes that perform the compression process. They typically provide a fast attack time, soft knee, and plenty of character. These compressors use one of the earliest compression designs and are still one of the most coveted types of compressors on the market.
