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).


Dynamics Control and Frequency Balance at your Fingertips

MB-Control is a three-band multiband compressor that makes multiband compression simple and effective, providing you full control over the dynamics of your tracks, or even full mixes & masters, letting you control the frequency balance of your music with ease.

It comes with multiple quality-of-life features that help you make the right move in seconds, such as per-band auto gain, tempo-synchronized release, auto attack & release, and more.

This is why dialing in the right amount of compression is as simple as turning down the threshold and letting MB-Control do its thing!



Automatic Gain Compensation

Compensate the loss of volume generated by the compression either globally or per band.



Synchronize the Release Time

MB-Control can synchronize the release to the track's BPM, resulting in a natural compression that grooves with the music.


Pristine Audio Quality

With the built-in oversampling engine, MB-Control delivers high-audio quality without aliasing or artifacts.



Built-In Saturation Module for Each Band

Enable saturation for each band individually.

The saturation module has been carefully configured to not changed the perceived output volume of the signal, making it simple to add sparkle to the track without having to adjust the output volume.


Frequency Visualizer

Visualize each band's input level (main or sidechain), the cutoff frequency, and the threshold for each band.

Click and drag on the cutoff & threshold lines to control the parameters.


Why Use MB-Control?

Multiband Compression is already a hard concept to wrap ones' head around, and 99% of multiband compressors are way too complicated to use & understand, with way too many controls for each band, too many built-in features that make you spend more time than you should looking for the perfect setting, and so on.

MB-Control is designed to provide a lot of useful features while still keeping the workflow simple:

Its per-band Auto Gain keeps you from having to constantly level-match.

Auto attack & release parameters have been designed to work on 99% of audio sources.

If you want the compression to follow the groove of the song, simply enable tempo-sync and set the time interval. It's that easy!


Features

  • Intelligent Dynamics Control - Equipped with an automatic makeup gain feature, THR MB-Control adeptly balances the output level, ensuring consistent volume and dynamics across different bands.

  • Tonal Versatility - Each band comes with its own subtle distortion feature, offering a touch of harmonic richness and warmth, perfect for adding character and depth to your mixes, while also ensuring that the output volume doesn’t change.
  • Precise Mix Control - Dial in the perfect balance with dedicated mix controls for each band. This feature allows for intricate blending of compressed and uncompressed signals, providing flexibility and creative freedom.
  • Solo and Bypass Options - Fine-tune your sound with solo and bypass controls for each band. Isolate bands for focused adjustments, or quickly compare your processed and original signals.
