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).


true:balance is a metering plug-in that offers you all the necessary info and guidance for taking the right steps towards optimizing the spectral balance and mono compatibility of your mix.

  • Real-time spectrum analyzer and the average spectrum
  • Genre-based references and custom reference option
  • Info on stereo width and stereo correlation values

Advanced Spectral Balance Metering

true:balance is a metering plug-in that will make sure you've got all the info you need on the spectral distribution of your mix.

All the displayed readouts as well as their visualizations are designed to ensure that you won't have to second-guess what you are seeing.

true:balance's key readouts are supported by target indicators, allowing you to see whether your track is close to the values of your chosen reference.

The channel data section displays all you need to know about the stereo width and correlation of your mix and, hence, the mono compatibility of your mix.


Genre-Based References and Custom Reference Tracks

Since the "right" spectral distribution has a lot to do with listening expectations, genre-based references are great to compare your mix with.

true:balance's included references draw from a vast amount of audio data and hands on mixing experience.

When you want consistency across an entire project, go for the option of loading up to 8 reference tracks.


Balance Check and Mono Check

true:balance is designed for professionals as well as ambitious bedroom producers.

The latter will appreciate the hints on which modifications their mix requires to approach the reference values. true:balance has got you covered: There is a Balance Check that analyzes the current spectral distribution of your signal then compares it with your reference and gives you text-based suggestions.

Mono Check points out any potential problems concerning the mono compatibility of your mix.
