Chapter 3 - Operation Guide 

Way of working with TubeMUv2 

 

The pre-settings are a good start to understand its operation in a few minutes. The 

parts are defined and very intuitive. 

However, one way to understand its processes is to start like this: 

 

VU / GR – LEVEL:

  

Select the switch, in “GR”. 

COMPRESSION:

 

Act clockwise to amplify the signal and compress it. 

RATIO:  

 

Adjust from 2:1 to 5:1 for moderate compression. 

 

 

 

Adjust from 5:1 to 30:1 for gimmicky and parallel compression.   

TYPE:   

 

Selecting “DOWNWARD” we will obtain a smooth and very linear 

 

 

 

compression, like the old Mu-variable compressors. 

 

 

 

Selecting “UPWARD” we will achieve greater oscillation in the  

 

 

 

audio signal. 

CLASSIC / STABLE: 

The response of “CLASSIC” is more pumping, but we can help  

 

 

 

ourselves with “SIDE FILTER” to reduce the range of bass that we  

 

 

 

want to exclude in the response of the side chain. 

 

 

 

On the contrary, “STABLE” implements an architecture for  

 

 

 

processing low frequencies and, thus, delivering a response  

 

 

 

devoid of oscillations. 

ATT / REL: 

 

We can adjust the attack and release of the compressor. 

QUALITY: 

 

Try the most suitable for your work. For example, with the  

 

 

 

selector in “Good” mode, you will notice greater precision in the 

   

 

 

hits and attacks.  

MAKEUP: 

 

Reclaim gain with this control, and also inject signal by adding  

 

 

 

pressure to the final limiter.

 

OUTPUT: 

 

 

Compressor general output setting. We will reduce or amplify  

 

 

 

the signal depending on the compressor settings. 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

Happy Work !
