This week we are featuring Molotok from Tokyo Dawn Labs. Molotok is a flexible compressor with markedly different compression modes provided via the alpha-beta-sigma weighting control (just try it) and with a delta control for fine tuning the attack and release times this free compressor is every bit as good as many paid for compressor plugins and uses more of the greek alphabet that the competition too!

While Molotok doesn’t emulate any “vintage” device, its sound and behaviour was definitely inspired by their most interesting musical peculiarities. This flexibility makes it a rewarding choice for almost any source in the mix, be it drums needing more crisp and impact, solidification and enrichment of vocals, or the enhancement of guitar and bass recordings of all types.

How To Get Molotok

Go to the TDR website and download the installer, that’s it!

Molotok is available for Mac and PC in AAX, AU and VST. No iLok is required.
