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).

Get your kicks with Chop Suey and take your productions to the next level!

Chop Suey is a low-end powerhouse making kick drum design super easy and enjoyable.

Ultimate Workflow

We've all been there: you browse through hundreds of kicks, but nothing really works.

One has a nice transient, another one a cool punch in the face and the third has the perfect boomy tail.

But once you layer them the result is a weak muddy mess: layering kicks is rarely successful.

Chop Suey is the solution: instead of layering, the elements are sequenced.

This method eliminates phasing issues while allowing the combined kick to maintain the crisp transient, the punch of the body, and the characteristic tail.

What You See Is What You Get

Shaping kicks with a compressor, saturator, or transient designer can be tedious.

These tools affect the whole kick, making it impossible to simply edit the transient without impacting the body.

The workable ranges are tiny and your options are massively limited.

With Chop Suey you can always see what you are doing.

As the first few milliseconds of a kick are so crucial for the perception you can visually stretch this area to allow for fine editing.

Edit with Surgical Precision

You can shape the sound with surgical precision using curves.

This allows you to edit exactly what and where you want to shape the sound.

Editing the transient will not affect the punch or the tail.

Normal (digital) filters are often not suited to edit kicks, as they don’t respond fast enough to parameter changes.

Chop Suey's filter has been designed specifically for editing kicks: it reacts extremely fast to rapid changes of cutoff or resonance without introducing zipper noise or artifacts.

Designed with Top Producers

Chop Suey has been designed in close collaboration with producers and artists across the dance music scene.

Drawing from decades of experience the workflow has been optimized to make this plugin a workhorse for professional kick design.

For example, we have added "Punch Protect" - if activated the important frequencies below ~150 Hz that are crucial for the punch are protected from the filter.

So you can shape your sound, but you never need to worry about weakening the punch.
