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).

TAL-DAC is not an ordinary bit crusher or sample rate reducer. The plug-in is based on the TAL-Sampler sound engine. It emulates a sample recorded on a low sample rate with reduced bit depth and upsamples it to the desired host sample rate.

It's possible to choose different algorithms for the upsampling process to emulate the characteristics of different samplers. A low and high shelf EQ together with an AMP Drive in the reconstruction section allow it to approximate the sound character of different sampler AMPs. Also, it is possible to emulate hot recorded signals using the input volume knob.

This plug-in can be used on a wide range of audio material, but it's especially useful and authentic on drum sounds.


Features

  • Recording stage with input volume control and soft clipper (adds odd harmonics)
  • Variable recording sample rate (1kHz-44.1kHz)
  • Variable recording bit-depth (4bit-16bit) with different algorithms (mu-law, mu-law delta, linear)
  • Reconstruction section with different reconstruction methods (hold, variable, linear, S1000/sinc)
  • Very steep reconstruction filters (optional)
  • AMP drive (add's even and odd harmonics to the signal)
  • A high- and low shelf filter (12dB)
  • All non-linear components are 8x oversampled to avoid aliasing

System Requirements

  • Mac 10.9 or higher (Intel or Apple Silicon)
  • Windows 7 or higher
  • Linux 64-bit / Ubuntu 18 or similar
  • 64-bit host software
  • For AAX, Pro Tools 10.3.6 or higher is required (64-bit)
