Using Molot GE is a breeze. First, connect it to your audio source, whether it's drums, vocals, guitars, or bass.

For more precise control, use the dual - stage timing section to manage the auto - release behavior. When using the limiter, be careful not to over - limit as it might introduce unwanted artifacts.
