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).

Authentic 1970s Studio Drums

  • Authentic 70s kit and studio
  • Period-correct gear and techniques
  • Fat, dry, and crisp sound

There is a huge revival of that 70s sound brought to you by chart-topping artists like Daft Punk. With Vintage Dry, you too can have those fat, dry, and deliciously authentic drum sounds in your productions.

The 1970s were a golden era for rock, disco, funk and just about any style that relied on a solid backbeat.

he drums were dry, fat and crisp - and it was good!

Today, there is a revival of that 70s sound by chart-topping artists like Daft Punk, Miike Snow and Justice.

With Vintage Dry, you too can have those glorious drum sounds!

XLN began by modifying Studio INGRID's 1968 Ludwig Silver Sparkle kit.

We tuned and dampened the individual drums using authentic 70s methods: The kick was stuffed with a pillow and a large sheet of felt.

Newspaper was taped to the snare heads and more felt sheets were pinned to the toms.

To ensure sonic authenticity, we only used microphones from the 1960-70s (Coles, Neumann, Sennheiser, and Bang & Olufsen) through the studio's vintage API console.

Vintage Dry includes 30 mix-ready presets that give you instant access to a variety of sounds ranging from softer early 70s folk to punchy late 70s disco.

The Addictive Drums 2 engine makes it easy to modify any of these presets to suit your exact musical needs.

To help you find your inspiration, we've also created the Dry Beats and Songs MIDIpak, giving you instant access to inspired rhythms played by some outstanding session drummers.

System Requirements

  • Requires an existing license for Addictive Drums 2 (sold separately).
  • MacOS 10.13 High Sierra and above
  • Windows 7 and above (64-bit only)
