What Eventide Anthology XII is
Eventide Anthology XII is a bundle of 32 plug-ins for audio mixing and mastering, combining vintage hardware emulations with modern processors. Its effects include EQs, compressors, delays, reverbs, pitch changers, modulation, and distortion, with the product also highlighting patented Transient/Tonal splitting technology. The bundle adds 10 plug-ins to the previous Anthology collection: three reverbs, three modulation effects, two pitch shifters, a distortion, and an EQ. It is intended for creators, beatmakers, musicians, and engineers working on activities such as vocal production, beatmaking, sound design, and mixing. Formats are AAX, AU, VST2, and VST3; AU is listed for macOS. Windows support requires Windows 10 or later, x64, while macOS support begins at 10.14 on Intel or Apple Silicon. Eventide says the plug-ins should work with any compatible DAW and lists Pro Tools, Ableton, Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio, and Reaper. An iLok account is required, but a physical dongle is not. The price is $999, paid once, and a 14-day trial is available; there is no free plan.
