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).

Peak Limiting and Loudness Compliance

FinalPlug combines a lookahead peak limiter with ITU BS.1770 loudness metering, making it an ideal plugin for audio mastering.

It can be used as an insert effect to provide limiting for gain staging or volume maximization.

Additionally, FinalPlug can be placed at the end of your mastering chain to ensure your audio meets loudness and true peak delivery requirements, making it a crucial component for achieving professional audio standards.

The FinalPlug interface could hardly be simpler -when used as a loudness maximizer, select a desired output ceiling level, say -0.1 dB, and then adjust the threshold level. As you decrease the threshold you increase the volume.

To meet loudness and true peak delivery standards, select the "Analyze" preset and then select a delivery target specification, this sets up the integrated loudness and true peak target levels.

Then play your session, the integrated loudness and true peak levels are displayed as the music plays, and will be colored orange if they exceed the target levels.

At the end of playback, click MATCH - this sets the limiter parameters to meet the target specification.

Playing the session again will yield the desired integrated loudness level without exceeding the true peak level.

You can now export your compliant audio.
