Molot by VladgSound is a unique free compressor plugin, well-regarded for its characterful sound and versatility. Designed primarily for bus processing due to its optimal sonic characteristics and relatively high CPU load, Molot also performs well on individual tracks.
It stands out for its artistic sound coloration, employing saturation with even harmonics, dithering for an ‘air’ effect, and oversampling with non-linear phase response for ‘depth’.
While not an emulation of specific hardware or software compressors, its audible results draw comparisons to renowned compressors like the Neve 33609, Tube-Tech CL 1B, and Fairchild 670. Available for Windows and Mac OS X, it’s particularly suited for users looking for a distinct and artistic compression tool.
