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).

Unlock Unparalleled Powers

Parallel processing plays a fundamental part in getting a "big" mix sound. By processing multiple copies of the same track and blending them together, you can add more punch to a mix - in a more natural-sounding way.

It's like teamwork: Multiple copies of the same track - each focused on doing one specific job - can achieve more together than a single copy being processed to death on its own.

Parallel Aggressor is based on this simple concept. The plugin splits your audio into three equal parts:

  • Dry - Your original signal
  • Spank - A heavily compressed duplicate
  • Heat - A heavily saturated duplicate
  • Work the duplicates hard! Then combine all three signals to squeeze every drop of sonic juice out of your track.

Great Sound - Great Simplicity

You're probably using parallel processing all over your mixes already. But Parallel Aggressor is designed to give you the maximum sonic impact with the lowest possible track count. No extra busses or mix faders needed.

Like with all our plugins, we've engineered Parallel Aggressor to inject its own sonic flavor into your mix. The plugin is designed to make the small decisions internally, while leaving the big decisions to you.

Spank

Spank offers an addictively punchy compression algorithm, designed to adapt to your audio signal. It begins where our I Heart NY plugin ended, with improvements in sound quality, signal detection, and flexibility.

Style injection buttons: Extra Punch, Extra Smack, Sidechain Filter, Mono.

Heat

Heat is a warm, analog-modeled, saturation algorithm with an aggressive bite. It is based on our tape saturator from Super VHS, but has been rewritten and optimized for the Parallel Aggressor release.

Style injection buttons: Extra Hot, Tone, HP Filter, LP Filter.

Auto Gain

Auto Gain ensures that the combined output of the plugin’s three signals roughly matches the input/dry level. This allows you to experiment with different internal mix balances while keeping a consistent plugin output.

Workflow

  1. Balance the three parallel signals from the main level mixer.
  2. Use the Spank and Heat knobs to dial-up the firepower of the parallel engines.
  3. The meters help you set the right amount of Spank and Heat for any audio signal. (Dial the main Spank/Heat knobs until the meters peak right before the orange line).
  4. The style knobs inject desirable sonic flavors into the parallel engines. Engage many at once.
  5. The solo buttons let you monitor each parallel signal individually for fine-tuning purposes.
  6. Turn on Auto Gain to get a consistent plugin output, roughly matching the input level.
  7. Output sets the global output level (post-Auto Gain).
  8. Switch between three different color schemes by clicking the top-left icon.

Parallel Aggressor comes loaded with 25 presets created by BABY Audio and some friends of the house:

  • KurtCurt (Grammy-nominated engineer for 2 Chainz, Diamond D, Wiz Khalifa).
