This device is a glue for your track, which helps to connect parts of it together.

Slight soft compression with settable attack and release time lets you reach the desired results in the mastering process. The device has traditional architecture, but a unique schematic, so its sound is individual. High-quality stepped potentiometers and attack/release times rotary switchers complement the fully balanced schematic in aspiration to build the precision instrument with linear frequency response and minimal distortions. The device includes 6 transformers and 6 double triode tubes, which fill the sound with harmonics and make the sound rich and soft.

Video reviews from experts

Instant ANALOG Mojo: RSE VMU-1 by MixbusTv

• “This behemoth is a true all-tube, dual-mono stereo vari-mu mastering compressor — borderline impossible to make it sound bad.” (0:56–1:03)
• “When you run material through it, it stays faithful to the source and yet adds this sheen and polish.” (1:22–1:30)
• “The harmonic collection is always extremely balanced — you will not hear a hype in the top end or a hype on the low end.” (1:40–1:49)
• “By pushing the gain up to +21 dB, you get that tube and transformer glow, but still almost invisible compression — no pumping at all.” (5:00–5:10)
• “That vari-mu nature makes it insanely musical — you sculpt dynamics like with a classic ’60s tube unit.” (6:18–6:27)
• “On vocals, it thickens the sound and tames the harsh top-end without losing presence or intelligibility.” (20:38–21:11)
• “Even on very bright female vocals, it smooths sibilance perfectly while keeping clarity.” (22:02–22:11)

 

ANALOG Vibe: RSE VMU-1 by Mixing Music Analog

• “It’s six tubes—three per channel—and three transformers per channel, truly all-tube, all-transformer signal path.” (1:53–2:02)
• “Every control is military-grade stepped—no pots—so dialing in for mastering is step-perfect and repeatable.” (2:50–3:00)
• “Instant thickness in the low end—Fairchild-esque richness and creamy glue on acoustic guitars.” (8:06–8:14)

• “About 25–28 % compression is realistic—warm and fat bottom end, sparkle on top without brittleness.” (9:41–9:49)

• “Unlinking channels opens the stereo field gently, giving just a touch more width.”  (10:44–10:51)

• “On drums, kick is tight with sustain on the snare—rounded but still punchy and musical.”  (10:44–10:51)

• “With a 240 Hz side-chain, dance tracks get warmth and thickness without mudding the sub-bass.” (18:16–18:24)

• “For under $3 K, this is the most adjustable V-Mu hardware compressor out there—rivals $5 K units.” (18:55–19:03)
