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 Most Detailed Convolution Reverb

Introducing a more streamlined, easy-to-use AIR Studios Reverb Essentials, an immensely detailed convolution reverb - created in collaboration with the team at London's iconic AIR Studios.

Using Spitfire's own "Virtual Positioning Technology", you can position your sounds anywhere in the legendary Lyndhurst Hall - one of the world's most sought-after recording spaces.

With 64 curated presets to suit different instruments based on real-life mixing situations.

The Essentials version differs from the flagship AIR Studios Reverb by offering fewer advanced controls, simply load a preset and play.


The Pinnacle of Convolution with Virtual Positioning Technology

After years of meticulous research and development, Spitfire Audio proudly presents AIR Studios Reverb Essentials – a revolutionary, effortless convolution reverb that continues to break new ground in sonic authenticity, available for everyone.

AIR Studios Reverb goes beyond traditional impulse responses, leveraging Spitfire Audio's proprietary Virtual Positioning Technology (VPT).

This groundbreaking feature allows you to position your sound source anywhere within the legendary AIR Studios, capturing the precise ambience of its unique acoustic spaces.


Unleashing the Power of 67,000 Impulse Responses

Spitfire Audio has taken the concept of Impulse Response (IR) to new heights, capturing an unprecedented 67,000 IRs to recreate any position and configuration in the hall.


An Audio Experience Like No Other

In AIR Studios' "Lyndhurst Hall", musicians traditionally face the control room, which creates a distinct reverb character.

However, a lesser-known yet iconic sound is achieved with musicians facing the organ - a setup that's synonymous with Hans Zimmer scores recorded at AIR.

To recreate both of these signature sounds within AIR Reverb, our team mirrored microphone placements on the hall floor.

Combined with dedicated speaker positioning, the varied presets in AIR Studios Reverb Essentials allow you to position your virtual sound source facing either direction and capture the essence of these legendary recordings.


Features

  • Diverse preset library catering to various instruments, moods, and setups for an easy to use, out of the box reverb.
  • Choose the position anywhere in The Hall, with proprietary Virtual Positioning Technology
  • 64 carefully curated presets for beginners and pros alike.
