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).


Korneff Audio's Level-Loc is the only Level-Loc plug-in licensed by Shure and endorsed by Tchad Blake.


Tchad's (not so) Secret Weapon

Tchad Blake is renowned for his creativity in the studio.

He's worked with known hitmakers from Sheryl Crow and Peter Gabriel to noisy alt bands like Soul Coughing and the Black Keys.

Tchad discovered the Shure Level-Loc while working on Tom Waits' album Bone Machine.

As Tchad puts it, "The Level-Loc changed my life." He's not made a record without it since.

Imagine what you can make with a Level-Loc.


What can you do with a Level-Loc?

  • Squash and mangle with compression for huge, punchy drums that jump out of the speakers
  • Overdrive transformers for warm saturation to enhance low-end and give your mixes some boom
  • Add a vintage glow to vocals and acoustic instruments
  • Get ratty, lo-fi guitar and keyboard sounds
  • Parallel process anything for a larger, analog sound
  • Add interest and quirky fun to anything
  • With a Level-Loc, there's no such thing as lame


Digital Control to Unleash Your Creativity

The Shure Level-Loc plug-in can be used on all sound sources.

Get slamming drums, soulful vocals, wicked lo-fi guitars and bass with attitude, thanks to expanded controls that greatly extend the versatility of Level-Loc.

It's no longer just a box for drums. Use it on everything, even the mix bus.

We've modeled three vintage units, including two owned by Tchad Blake, and there's hundreds of presets to get your ideas flowing.


Filtering

Use the pass filters to focus on exactly the frequencies you want to process, and remove excessive lows and highs to better seat your tracks in your mix.


Battery Drain

Mimic the effect of old, dying batteries.

Lower the voltage to change saturation and the "bloom" of the Level-Loc.


Impedance

Experiment with impedance settings to change the gain structure and the effect of transformer saturation and lag.


Release

Sculpt the Level-Loc to fit the dynamics of your sound with adjustable release times.

And do it without a soldering iron!


Sidechain

Target the compression using a fully adjustable sweepable sidechain EQ.

Pick out what to emphasize, or what to ignore.


Gain & Mix

Gain stage the Level-Loc to precisely the sound you want, and decide exactly how much Level-Loc flavor you want. A little taste? A big gulp? Too much?


Experience the Magic of the Hardware

The unique combination of compression and saturation that is the Level-Loc is waiting for your tracks.

We've precisely modeled the entire circuit, from the FET limiter to the transformers, to bring you the only Level-Loc plug-in is approved by Shure and endorsed by Tchad Blake.

This the sound you've heard on countless records, and now it's in your DAW.

Let the games begin!
