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).


Detail, Clarity, Density, Loudness

INTENSITY is a new kind of audio processor for mixing, mastering, and sound design.

Built on techniques typically found in facial recognition algorithms, INTENSITY brings out a sound’s inherent detail, increases its perceived loudness and density, and adds insane amounts of clarity.

The unique algorithm carves out important signal features, making sounds sound more like themselves, and is operated with essentially one control.

Between the proprietary algorithm and an optional soft-knee saturating limiter in the plugin’s output stage, INTENSITY also excels at attaining maximum loudness and creating a beautifully aggressive tone.


Features

  • Mastering-grade processing for more detail, clarity, density, and loudness.
  • Intuitive and fast workflow using a streamlined set of controls.
  • Proprietary INTENSITY circuit with optional frequency-dependent BIAS function.
  • Additional precision soft-knee saturating limiter at the output stage.

Think "Compressor"

So what IS this thing, then? You can think of INTENSITY like an infinite-band compressor operating in relative terms – whose time constants are zero, and which is controlled by artificial intelligence at audio rate – making it possible to adjust the process with essentially just one knob.

Except that this description would be completely inaccurate, as INTENSITY is absolutely NOT a compressor, and works in a completely different way.

There's no RMS detector, no threshold, no ratio, no attack or release time.

It doesn't pump or modulate in any other way.

It doesn't overshoot and it works regardless of absolute levels and input type.

That said, the compressor analogy does serve to give you an idea of when to use it and what for.


Across the Board

INTENSITY is equally suited for processing individual tracks like speech, SFX, instruments - including guitars, bass, and piano, as well as full mixes, multi-channel film stems, drum busses, and other complex content.

This makes INTENSITY an indispensable tool for music producers, mastering engineers, sound designers, video producers, broad/podcasters, forensics professionals, audiophiles, or virtually anyone to quickly and easily add clarity, definition, and perceived loudness to their audio projects.


Fast, Faster, INTENSITY

This plugin is probably the fastest way to get a great sound. The actual, real-world usage story goes pretty much exactly like this:

  • Insert plugin
  • Adjust INTENSITY amount
  • Enjoy the result.

In some cases, you may additionally:

  • Adjust BIAS Amount and/or Curve
  • Switch LEVEL COMPENSATION off
  • Activate the saturation.


System Requirements

  • MacOS 10.15 Catalina and above
  • Officially supported up to MacOS 12 Monterey
  • Windows 8 and above (64-bit only)
  • Intel, AMD, or Apple Silicon CPU
  • Free iLok account and iLok License Manager
  • iLok Machine and iLok USB licensing methods are supported
