Eventide’s Anthology II Plug-ins Enhance Sonic Palette of J-Lo, Marc Anthony Musical Director, Angel Fernandez
Jan 20, 2010, 09:02

Little Ferry, NJ -- Eventide’s all-inclusive Anthology II plug-in bundle for Pro Tools TDM provides a wide range of sonic possibilities for Music Director/Guitarist/Trumpeter Angel Fernandez. Deployed on a wide variety of projects at his studio Missing Lynx in Hollis, NY, Fernandez recently produced a track for Jorge Villamizar of the widely popular Rock-en-Espanol group, Bacillos. Also, Fernandez produced a track for the soon-to-be-released CD by the trend setting act, Aventura entitled “Aventura: The Last.”

The Anthology II plug-ins are a mixer's dream: classic sounds from the '70s, '80s, and '90s merged with software engineering of today for a whole new generation of effects. Ultra-Channel is probably the best channel strip on the market, with a transparent equalizer, effective dynamics control, and instant chorusing and delay effects. A one-stop shop in the mix environment to get results fast. The legacy series of Omnipressor, Instant Flanger, Instant Phaser, and H910/H949 are the effects from the '70s that made Eventide famous, and with the software versions it's easy to see why. They sound exactly like the originals. Try using them for stuff they weren't specifically designed for: as an example, I use the Instant Flanger as a 3-D enhancer on stereo tracks and effects - spinning the phase dial changes both tone and dimension. It's subtle magic!! When compressing room mics on drums for special effects, the Omnipressor has NO equal,” states Fernandez. “I especially like The Eventide Reverb, which is smooth and pristine, in a league with the best digital reverb effects ever made. I use it on everything to add depth to mixes.”

Fernandez recently returned from performing with Marc Anthony at the largest festival in Latin America, the 2009 Festival de Vinas del Mar in Chile. The annual event which spans six days, is televised in over 30 countries, and is widely considered the most important musical event in Latin America.
