Education Proof

Products with education pricing are for students & teachers only. To prove your education status we require that you upload proof in the form of an image/PDF.


Types of proof

Student

Student ID Card, Letter of enrollment, or similar

Teacher/Lecturer

Teacher ID Card, Lecturer ID Card, Payslip, Letter from the school/college

Education proof is submitted to the manufacturer and is accepted at their discretion.


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).


Master Your Mix With Alchemist

Alchemist is the ultimate dynamic processing tool providing full control over the processing.

For simple compression tasks, more advanced de-expansion, and emulating classic analog compression, to recovering transients from an overly compressed mix, all the way to heavy parallel multi-band compression with up to 5 bands.


Features

  • Five bands, each providing a full dynamics section with; Compressor, De-Compressor, Expander, De-Expander, the BitterSweet Transient Designer and M/S Width Control
  • Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) crossovers with selectable slopes from 18 dB/oct to 54 dB/oct
  • Input/Output gain controls for adjusting the levels before and after processing
  • Generous +/- 48 dB input/output gain range
  • Phase invert of the processed signal
  • Dry/wet control offering true parallel dynamics processing
  • Discrete peak-limiter rounding peaks off in a smooth and musically fashion
  • True bypass control routing the incoming signal direct to the output for a smooth transition between clean and processed signal

Preset and Parameter Handling

  • Preset/Parameter slots
  • To enhance the workflow the two Preset/Parameter slots, A and B, can be loaded with two full set of parameters at the same time. Apart from saving each preset, a "Global Preset" containing both the A and B settings, and the position of the "Morphing Slider", can be saved.
  • Parameter Morphing Slider with Automation
  • The Morphing Slider provides morphing between the parameter settings of slot A/B allowing for really creative and useful real-time tweaking. Enabling the Automation control button exposes the Morphing Slider to the host automation.
  • Open Sound Control Support

Multiband Crossovers

Alchemists five bands are divided using carefully tuned state-of-the-art IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) crossovers with selectable slopes (from 18 dB per octave to 54 dB per octave) and variable corner frequencies.


Multiband Features

Alchemist operates as a single broadband processor or as a full-scale multiband processor offering up to five individual bands, each band provides:

  • Compressor
  • De-Compressor
  • Expander
  • De-Expander
  • BitterSweet Transient Designer
  • MS (mid/side) Control
  • Auto Delay (Introducing a delay line into to signal for zero attack time)
  • Selectable level detection mode and dynamics detection profile
  • Processing envelope control (Attack, Hold, Release with optional Auto mode)
  • Input / Output gain control

Full Control Over the Processing

In addition to the common controls on a dynamics processor; ratio, attack, release, Alchemist offers control over the fundamental characteristics of the dynamics processing on each band, all in order to provide full control over the processing even in the most demanding situations.


Envelope, Time and Detection Settings

  • Extended envelope settings with full control of Attack, Hold and Release with Manual, Auto and Advanced release modes.
  • Zero attack time for the dynamics processing by introducing a delay reflecting the attack time into the signal path.
  • Eight different detection modes interacting with the time and envelope settings as well as with the integration times for the RMS detection. Includes specific "Feed Backward" modes inspired by vintage hardware architectures for producing a naturally "beefy" sound.
  • Dynamic Factor - Amplifies or diminishes the extracted real-time dynamics information.
  • Dynamic Velocity - Controls the speed of variation on the extracted dynamics information.

Individual Multichannel Processing

Up to eight channels of simultaneous processing for multichannel surround configuration is provided.

The processing can be disengaged on any of the channels leaving the material unprocessed, bypassing the original sound.

When operating on a multi-channel bus all, up to eight in total, channels are processed by default, though the processing can be disengaged for any number of channels leaving the material unprocessed and bypassing the original sound.

By doing this in combination with serial instances the material on any number of channels can be processed with individual settings.



Dual Preset Slots and Parameter Morphing

The built in preset manager and the preset morphing slider, provides instant and intuitive control of all parameters and controls.

In a second, with a simple one-click operation, everything is copied from one of the two preset slots to the other, even during playback.

The two Preset/Parameter slots, A and B, can be loaded with two full set of parameters at the same time, and except for only A/B comparing two sets of parameters, the morphing slider will allow to mix them, and to record the morph with the host automation.


System Requirements

  • MacOS 10.14 Mojave and above
  • Windows 10 and above (64-bit only)
  • Intel, AMD, or Apple Silicon CPU
  • Free iLok account and iLok License Manager
  • iLok Machine and iLok USB licensing methods are supported
