TDR version of the Molot compressor is out - Molotok (free) and Molot GE

[Tappistry]

In the GE mode, if you Alt+Click the SC Button, you get a SC Hilbert mode. Shh...it's secret!

What makes this different than regular sidechaining?

Digging Deeper into Molot / Molotok with Fabien from Tokyo Dawn Labs. Maybe someone has the 'Muse' to Translate this, during the next Lockdown or just use Youtubes CC/ subtitles.

Translation: C'mon man. You know, the thing.

I could pick out some of his Tips & Translate those the next Days.

One Thing to begin with (in case you didnt know already)

Double Click on the TDR - Logo (Works with all of their Plugins).

The Hilbert mode affects the sidechain detector by rotating the phase of the signal. I've honestly never used it and can't speak to when you'd want to, but it's hidden there in case you need it.

What a beast Clearly one of the best compressors i've tested on drum groups. Very musical and also very good for creative compression. I was a bit sceptical about the saturation knob first, because i completly disliked the saturation in Slick EQ, but in Molot GE the saturation gets audible when you put it in dynamic mode and turn up the input ... very audible

For those that think they can get by with the excellent free version, the dual release, eq and saturation on the paid version takes it to a whole other level in terms of imaging and stereo enhancement. Hint, the eq is not just an eq.

I looked at the EQ in PluginDoctor and I couldn't make sense of why it has bell cuts at those positions. What is the idea behind this?

Does it EQ the compressor side chain or the actual signal?

It's just a mid-band peak EQ for the signal. Not the sidechain.

That's really odd for a compressor. You could always just add mid EQ after Molot.

I don't understand the choice either frankly. But that's ok. I don't have to agree with everything every plugin developer chooses to do. I'd prefer to have the EQ in the sidechain myself, but c'est la vie. Maybe they'll consider it for a future update.

[sleepcircle]

the eq's most powerful i think when you set it to 'dynamic' mode, because then it subtly changes the tone of the signal as it's being compressed--and the fact that the EQ channels are not perfectly matched, left-to-right, means it sort of makes the signal very very faintly "stereo-ized," but only on active GR

honestly, this feature is one of the reasons i bought molot

if anyone takes it away from me i will suplex that person into 500 gallon inflatable swimming pool full of vintage mayonnaise

Does it really matter? if it sounds good, then why not?

[El°HYM]

Fabien stated that this was more a kind of happy accident, which sounded good to them, so they just left that in.
