Actually, this is exactly what we've been discussing in this thread. I don't think anyone's advocating smashing the mixbuss with a vari-mu. Mainly because a vari-mu doesn't work like that. (I mean you can make it pump, but you have to hit it way too hard.)
I'm using it to catch peaks, add some bloom to the low-mids, and soften the extreme highs. I also want to subtly accentuate the energy of the piece.
I just happen to like vari-mu emulations right now. I got Kush Audio AR-1 yesterday after demoing it a couple times and it's very cool.
Whatever works.
