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).

Presswerk is a powerful dynamics processor with a musical soul.

An easy-to-use interface and a rich feature set give you hands-on control over all details of your sound.

Presswerk doesn't emulate famous compressors, it blends the warmth of classic hardware models with developments that are only possible in the digital domain.

Presswerk has all the features you expect in a compressor...

  • Sidechaining: use ducking to create more space in your mixes, or get creative with keying and pumping effects.
  • Adjustable compression curve and envelope. Find the best settings, get the most out of youraudio using the soft knee, compression ratio, attack and release and other controls.
  • Loud. Oh yes, Presswerk is more than capable of making your tracks louder!
  • Soft Clip. Roll off those harsh peaks and avoid distortion when output levels get too high.

Plus what we added to enhance Presswerk's capabilities:

  • 6 special views for better workflow: Drum Compressor, Vocal Compressor, M/S Program Compressor, Easy Compressor, Bus Compressor, Limiter
  • M/S mode. More detailed stereo signal processing
  • Dual Phase Rotator (DPR): applies a radio broadcaster's trick to reduce unwanted asymmetries in the signal. It smears phases, increases headroom a little and adds bass 'oomph'.
  • Saturation. This is where Presswerk really shines - adding colour and character to your audio. Apply Saturation sparingly for subtle warmth and transient-taming, or crank it up to create tape overdrive-like effects.
  • Internal parallel compression. The Mix controls let you blend the compressed and uncompressed signals. This helps preserve some of the original, natural dynamics.
  • Variable detection topologies:
    • Feed-forward is modern and 'surgical', it tracks the input very precisely.
    • Feed-back is 'musical', loose-sounding and forgiving - like classic hardware.
    • Interactive continuously analyzes the signal and blends FF and FB accordingly.
  • Adjust and store global preferences
  • New MIDI learn controls

System Requirements

  • MacOS 10.10 Yosemite and above
  • Officially supported up to MacOS 14 Sonoma
  • Windows 7 and above (64-bit only)
  • Intel, AMD, or Apple Silicon CPU
  • 1GB RAM or more
