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).


The BAE-1073 is based on a legendary hardware EQ that has been used in studios for decades.

It's considered an industry standard for its warm sound and versatility.


Realtime & Native

Runs natively in your DAW on macOS or Windows, or in real-time on a Synergy Core-equipped interface.


History

The BAE 1073 is known for its classic British sound and was used on some of the most iconic recordings of all time. It was originally designed in the early 1970s.

The EQ became an instant classic when it was released, and it's still considered one.

Many popular records have been made using the original hardware BAE EQ, including Michael Jackson's Thriller and Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run.

The EQ has also been used on countless hits by artists like Madonna, Taylor Swift, and Beyonce.

In modern times, it's hard for this unit not to be found in top studios all over the world.


The BAE-1073 is famous for its warm, musical sound.

It's often used on vocals and drums, but it can be used on any source.

It's a very versatile EQ, and that’s one of the reasons why it's so popular.

It includes three different EQ modes: high pass, low pass, and band pass.

Each mode has its own unique sound.

The high pass mode is great for removing unwanted frequencies, like rumble or spill.

The low pass mode is perfect for adding weight to a track or taming harsh frequencies. The band pass mode is somewhere in between, and it's great for shaping the overall sound of a track.


Antelope Audio's BAE-1073 reigns superior when it comes to modeling the original EQ.

Like all Antelope Audio modeled effects, they used their proprietary FPGA technology to get as close as possible to the original sound of the BAE.

The result is an EQ that sounds very close to the original.

Adding the grit and character of the original without coloring the sound too much, the BAE 1073 is perfect for those who want that classic British EQ sound without sacrificing clarity.
