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).


Beautiful to Beastly Tube Saturation

There's nothing quite like the magic of huge-sounding analog tube saturation - and this one must be heard to be believed.

An original-design plugin from the Magma series, the unique blend of the BEAUTY and BEAST knobs offers a versatile sonic pallet from delicate to beyond aggressive, to help you create expensive-sounding productions.

You'll find BB Tubes is incredibly addictive.

Once you start using it on your drums, vocals, guitars, bass, synths, mix bus and absolutely everything, it's hard to go back.

Incredible tones are simple to dial in without overthinking, and parts will simply feel "finished" in the mix far quicker than before.


Features

  • Huge-sounding analog tube saturation, subtle to aggressive
  • Original Waves Maqma design and modeling of cascading tube stages
  • BEAUTY knob perfect for delicate harmonic saturation
  • BEAST knob for aggressive in-your-face distortion
  • Blend BEAUTY and BEAST for an exception range of tones
  • Transformer adds a pleasing colored low-end bump
  • Tube soft-clipping creates extremely loud mixes, quickly
  • Tone section - pre and post-saturation hi-shelf EQ
  • Bass Relief keeps just the low end clean from the tube saturation
  • Sensitivity lets you control how the signal hits the tubes

System Requirements

  • MacOS 12 Monterey and above
  • Officially supported up to MacOS 15 Sequoia
  • Windows 10 and above (64-bit only)
  • Intel, AMD, or Apple Silicon CPU
