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).

This bundle includes:

  • CLA-2A - Tube Optical Compressor/Limiter
  • CLA-3A - Solid-State Optical Compressor/Limiter
  • CLA-76 - 2 FET Compressor/Limiters


Mix with the King of Compression's Personal Processors

Chris Lord-Alge's big, aggressive mixes squeeze every ounce of power out of his compressors.

Whether he chooses the CLA-2A's sweet smoothness, the CLA-3A's transparency, or the lightning-fast CLA-76 (blue or black), these classic processors provide the quality sound he demands.

Modeled from CLA's personal collection of expertly maintained "golden" units, these outstanding plugins let you mix with the sound that has powered hits from Grandmaster Flash to Green Day.


Features

  • Created in close collaboration with Chris Lord-Alge
  • Each compressor complements different genres and styles
  • Faithfully captures analog sound quality and warmth
  • Optional, subtle hiss and hum for total authenticity
  • Modeled from Chris Lord-Alge's personal vintage hardware
  • All compressors include many of Chris's favorite presets

Go-To Analog Compression for Vocals and Beyond

Renowned for wrapping vocals with silky-smooth compression, the CLA-2A is also a favorite for bass, guitar, and many other instruments - thanks to tube warmth, a sweet attack, and decays that are never choppy.


The Solid Sound of the 70s

The CLA-3A models the tight, punchy dynamics effects used for drums, bass, and guitar in high-end 70s studios.

It combines solid-state circuitry's fast attack with the gentle release of optical-based compression/limiting.


Rock Royalty's Choice for Drums

For drums, the CLA-76's tight compression from program-dependent attack/release times, and the incendiary "all-button" mode, are unparalleled.

Then, add harmonic distortion - for a muscular sound that erupts with power.


Double Your 1176 Options

Two of CLA's favorite versions, "blue" and "black", have different gain stages, time constants, and harmonic distortion. But both have the lightning speed needed to handle transients with speed and accuracy.


Added Mix Knobs for Parallel Compression - and More

You won't spend hours tweaking the settings with any of these compressors.

They're truly plug-and-play - dial up the sound you want in seconds, including easy parallel compression with the added Mix control, and quick level adjustments with the added Trim control.


A Rich Collection of Presets

The collection includes presets based on CLA's work with Foo Fighters, Green Day, Bruce Springsteen, U2, Keith Urban, and more - as well as presets from superstar producers and engineers like Greg Wells.
