Molot AU Compressor (freeware)

[c0ff]

Hi!

I'm pleased to announce first release of Molot in AU-format.

"Molot" AU compressor (0.2.2)
======================

DONE:
- sigma and alpha attack modes
- Neve 33609 like sound in sigma mode
- Fairchild 670 like sound in alpha mode
- very characterful sound
- dual mono, linked stereo, M, S and M/S modes
- up to 8x oversampling
- mid-scoop EQ for simple snare and guitars balance fix
- limiter for peaks suppressing
- almost zero latency (2 samples)

TODO:
- external sidechaining in mono mode
- USSR military style GUI
- switchable language EN/RU

vladg/sound

Original (VST) announce is here.

Download AU installer

0.2.2 - Universal Intel/PPC binary (built with 10.5 SDK)

[gingataff]

Looks good but failed validation in Logic 8.

[mr jkn]

Up!
Do check this out. It sounds very good!

[frenkonio]

Validate under Logic 9.1.3 but the GUI doesn't show up.

[timlloyd]

It works in REAPER, but:

- GUI doesn't show up
- cpu use default ~19%
- cpu use at 8x OS ~40%

There's no reason an 8x oversampling routine should push the cpu use up that high imo.

Sounds cool! I played with it a bit on Win7 a little while ago thumbsup

Unfortunately, I only have Logic 9.1.3.

Can you, please, provide an output of this command (run in Terminal):

auval -v aufx MLT1 Vlad

[c0ff]

Original GUI is not ported yet. Generic AU one provides an access to all parameters (except for GR/Limit display).

CPU usage FIXED! Please, redownload and reinstall.

Thanks for the update, now working in Logic 8 and OSX 10.5

Seems to work here with Logic 9.1.3 and I like what I hear. Except that looking at controls presented it got my attention that there is no way to switch the sidechain filter off. Looking at GUI screenshots it seems to be there in the Win VST version - http://vladgsound.files.wordpress.co...olot135en0.png.

Sounds pretty good! I've got Logic 9, and OS 10.6.7, and the GUI doesn't show up. I know it's not ported yet, but I'd feel a lot more comfortable using it with meters...

From just my ears, which is the most important, it seems pretty cool!

Please post if you get an update that has a working GUI for more systems, I'd love to check it out more!

Setting SideHP to a minimum (40 Hz) effectively switches it off.
It's the same in Windows VST version, but it has an additional switch for convenience.

this compressor sounds really great. the included modes are very cool! hoping for a gui with meters...once this happens i'll donate

[timlloyd]

and I

[mr jkn]

+ me

[retractablezing]

same here.

[c0ff]

Wow! That's a real boost

[diogo_c]

This is good news! The VST is great so this AU should be awesome too.

I must admit that I was skeptical about this compressor, but I figured I'd give it a try. Since it's late night, I've been listening at low volumes on headphones and speakers and I've been very pleasantly surprised, especially with the 8X oversampling on in a 44.1 kHz session. I'll know more tomorrow when I run at a normal volume, but right now I'm really enjoying this and it's comparing quite favorably to some "name" comps. The sigma/alpha switch is quite interesting.

One suggestion would be to reverse the "dry/wet" label to "wet/dry" since those are the directions the fader moves in. It defaults to compression, so I doubt most people are going to have a problem, but it might cause some confusion.

cool compressor

[Aux13]

Nice compressor. Anything new with GUI?

[miro]

my suggestion: download the vst and use the free vstau wrapper. works like a charm!

p.s. Miro thx.

[jabuone]

Hi, I wanted to try this out so badly but the AU won't validate in Logic 7.1, OSX 10.4.11. Somebody else got this problem?

[everglass]

How is this running on AU guys? Any problems to report?

[elektrovolt]

Logic 8, installed the AU version, but it does not show up in Logic. it does show up in the AU manager... re-installed, nothing.
