01Overview

Slate Digital describes MO-TT as its version of the multiband compressor associated with OTT. The plugin is aimed at producers who want to add energy, punch and presence to a single track or a whole mix. Slate also notes that a little goes a long way, so small settings changes can have a strong effect. MO-TT adds per-band compression control and extra High Pass and Low Pass bands on top of the classic approach.

03In depth

Sound Character and the Classic OTT Approach

Slate Digital says its engineers studied the original OTT compressor closely to capture its sound, and that MO-TT keeps that classic character while offering more tonal flexibility.

The developer describes the effect as useful for adding energy and drama. Used on a whole mix it can increase density, and on a single track it can bring out presence. Because the effect is strong, the developer advises using it with restraint.

Controls, Timing Styles and Quick Set Modes

MO-TT offers three Quick Set Modes, OTT, Hip-Hop and Vox, to get a starting sound quickly. Three timing styles, Classic, Smooth and Smack, change how the dynamics and transients respond.

Global Macros let you make broad adjustments while keeping the preset intact. Instead of controlling only the overall amount of the effect, you can set the amount of compression for each frequency band, with additional High Pass and Low Pass bands for shaping the mix.
