Eventide Anthology XII
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.
