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 Content-Aware Gate

smart:gate features intelligent source detection that focuses on your selected target source in the signal.

In comparison with conventional gates, smart:gate delivers solid results and makes parametrization incredibly fast and easy.

  • Content-aware gate processing
  • A wide range of instrument and sound profiles
  • Visual guidance and intelligent ducking

Tedious Gating Is a Thing of The Past

Gating can be a tricky task - with Smart Gate, it's as simple as selecting a target source from a drop-down menu.

Whether you're targeting vocals, electric guitar, piano or one of many other options, the intelligent gate reliably delivers even when the target source varies in level, or a competing instrument is louder than the signal you want to keep.

Smart:gate's content-aware processing unlocks its full power where conventional gate plug-ins struggle.

Insights for Faster Workflows

Finally, a gate that is truly able to differentiate between a mix and the signal component contained within it.

Both the target signal's activity and the gating are visualized in detail.

Together with Instant Replay, you are provided with all the insights you need to get your parametrization and tweaking done much faster - all with familiar controls and without any guesswork.

Intuitive Interface Packed with Great Features

Besides its intelligent target source detection, smart:gate sports a host of features for fine-tuning, such as a three-band suppression network for weighting the gating across the frequency spectrum.

The level bias enables you to increase the level-dependency of the processing - extremely handy when you want refine the response to transient target sources.

And, since gating and ducking are closely related in their processing, the gate plug-in can be switched to ducking mode, offering you the same target-focused functionality.

You can also use smart:gate without its content-aware AI features as a conventional gate.
