Live sound software developer Fourier Audio has integrated iLok USB hardware from security and licensing specialist Pace Anti-Piracy into its transform.engine platform.
Founded by Henry Harrod, Fourier Audio is transforming the live sound landscape with its advanced software and platform solutions. Harrod, a seasoned sound engineer and producer with a background in mechanical and acoustical engineering, co-founded Fourier Audio to bring sophisticated plugins and software tools to live production environments. With the pandemic halting live theatre, Fourier Audio seized the opportunity to leverage digital tools traditionally used in studio settings.
The transform.engine platform, a robust solution providing real-time digital replicas of physical assets, now features the iLok USB embedded within the hardware. This provides enhanced security for Fourier Audio’s software running on the platform ensuring it is protected against piracy and unauthorised use, and enables Fourier Audio to distribute and monetise its products confidently.
Commenting on the partnership, Harrod said: “Pace is considered such a gold standard in our industry. It would be wrong for us not to have a good working relationship with them. We couldn’t do what we are doing and how we do it without the relationship we have with Pace.
“I grew up in a world where plugins were starting to replace hardware equipment, and Pace was front and centre. The elegance of having a USB key that you can move around and carry with you is useful to someone using the transform.engine.”
Pace’s iLok USB hardware provides a secure, user-friendly licensing solution that aligns with Fourier Audio’s mission to democratise and enhance live sound production. This collaboration protects Fourier Audio’s intellectual property and offers peace of mind to its customers, knowing they are using protected and reliable software.
Harrod added: “It’s crucial for us to have a close relationship with Pace to honour our promise to our customers. Pace is a trusted name and deeply understands our industry. It’s really important to make sure we’re working with people in our kind of circle.”
