The Basics

iLok is a copy protection method used by many of our brands.

It has 3 types of activations, iLok USB, iLok Machine, and iLok Cloud.

Different brands/products will offer different iLok methods. iLok USB is always an option, but the availability of iLok Cloud and iLok Machine methods is at the discretion of the software developer.


iLok Account

For all iLok protected products, you will need an iLok account. You can create one for free here: ilok.com/#!registration


iLok License Manager

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

You can download the latest installers from the iLok website: ilok.com/#!home


iLok USB Key

iLok USB

This activation is stored on an iLok 2 or 3 USB key.

It is the best option for portability, if you frequently move between multiple machines, and offline use.


iLok Machine ID

Machine ID

This activation is stored locally on your computer.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.

This option also requires extra care when you upgrade to a new computer, the license(s) must be deactivated on your old machine first to ensure you do not lose them.


iLok Cloud

iLok Cloud

This activation is based online, and requires a "cloud session" using the iLok License Manager.

It requires an active internet connection for the entire time you use the plugin(s).


Our IA-LA1 compressor plugin is designed to be super responsive.

It comes with a transparent algorithm that introduces no distortion or artefacts.

But if coloration is required we have the THD control, which introduces a gentle dynamic distortion adding extra warmth and depth.

IA-LA1 comes with accurate level meters and a gain reduction meter giving a clear visual of the compression being applied.

Get perfect compression in less time with our IA-LA1 compressor plugin.


Easy Compression

IA-LA1 is a simple to use Compressor plugin.

Threshold and Make up gain are the two main controls.

The threshold represents the level at which compression will start to affect the audio. Anything over the threshold is compressed, which reduces the dynamic range of the audio.

The threshold is shown as an orange line on the input meter, compression will start to happen when the audio level goes above this line.

Now use the Make up gain to compensate for any loss in loudness. That's it!

Get perfect compression every time with just these two controls.

No need to set an attack or release like on many other compressors.


Features

  • Automatic compression - no need to set attack and release times
  • THD - Total Harmonic Distortion, adds extra warm and depth
  • Preset manager - Save and load custom presets
  • Input gain - Push the audio louder before entering compression
