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 the Larger-Than-Life Sound of Pop, Hip-Hop, and R&B

The dominant player in chart-topping productions, Avalon's flagship VT-737 channel strip is the best-selling standalone channel strip ever made.

From Jay-Z and Dr. Dre, to Babyface and Beyonce, the Avalon VT-737 Tube Channel Strip plug-in delivers the same consistently polished results, with radio-ready gloss and detail.


Included Versions

  • UAD Native - Runs on your Mac or PC without UA hardware (AAX, AU, VST3)
  • Apollo Realtime & UAD-2 - Runs accelerated on Apollo interfaces and UAD‑2 hardware (AAX, AU, VST2, and VST3)

Capture the Sound of Modern Music

By artfully capturing a "golden unit" Avalon's flagship VT-737 hardware's class-A tube amplifier section, LED-style optical compression, and discrete four-band EQ, you can give your tracks the signature Avalon sound heard on thousands of chart-topping hits.


Record Vocals and Bass "Through" a Hit-Making Tube Preamp with Apollo

UA's groundbreaking Unison technology lets you track in realtime through the Avalon VT-737 Channel Strip plug-in using your Apollo, giving you the chart-topping sound of the original hardware’s line/mic preamp impedance, gain stage "sweet spots", and exact circuit behaviors.


Experience Versatile Compression on Vocals and More

Excelling on vocals, bass, acoustic guitar, and voice-over work, the VT-737 plug-in's dynamics section gives your tracks the hardware's gentle touch, rather than adding squash or crunch.

This transparent compression is perfect for "stacking" the compressor again at mixdown, so you can control a vocal in a dense mix.


Fine-Tune Your Mixes with Bold EQ

The Avalon VT-737 plug-in's four-band EQ, gives your vocals a lively presence and sophistication, placing them front-and-center in any mix.

Like the hardware, the EQ can be placed before or after the compressor, and the mid bands can be engaged as sidechain filters for laser-focused compression.

And with the 32k high frequency "air band," you can add delicate shimmer to everything from strings to background vocals to acoustic guitars.
