Accentize Restoration Bundle vs Eventide Anthology XII

Accentize Restoration Bundle combines dxRevive Pro and dxSplit for repairing and shaping dialogue recordings. dxRevive Pro removes noise and reverb, restores missing frequency components, and reduces codec artifacts associated with recordings such as Skype or Zoom. dxSplit separates dialogue into voice, reverb, and noise so each component can be balanced independently. It also offers noise reduction, a real-time-capable algorithm, individual parametric EQs, and direct dxRevive integration. The plugins work with listed hosts including Pro Tools, Cubase, Nuendo, and Reaper, plus Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve. VST3, AU, and AAX formats are supported on macOS and Windows. Accentize says processing runs locally and models use proprietary, consented training data. The perpetual license supports one person on up to two machines or iLok locations. Pricing starts at €598, with a seven-day trial.

Eventide Anthology XII is a bundle of 32 plug-ins for audio mixing and mastering. It combines vintage hardware emulations with newer processors, including EQs, compressors, delays, reverbs, pitch changers, modulation effects, and distortion. The collection also covers dynamics, chorus, phaser, flanger, channel strip, and multi-effects, and supports external sidechain. Eventide highlights its patented Transient/Tonal splitting technology. Anthology XII adds 10 plug-ins to the prior Anthology bundle: three reverbs, three modulation effects, two pitch shifters, a distortion, and an EQ. Formats are AAX, AU, VST2, and VST3, with AU on macOS. It runs on Windows 10 or later, x64, or macOS 10.14 or later on Intel or Apple Silicon. An iLok account is required, but a physical dongle is not. Eventide says the plug-ins should work with compatible DAWs and lists Pro Tools, Ableton, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio, and Reaper. Anthology XII costs $999, paid once; a 14-day trial is available, and there is no free plan.
