D-Verb warble
So at some point, the RTAS version of D-Verb became different from the TDM version, and some modulation was added (a la Lexicon) to the native version. This has carried over into the AAX Native version, and now that I no longer have a HD TDM rig, I'm stuck with this modulation warble in the D-Verb plugin.
Is there any way to shut this off? Reverb tails are drifting out of tune |

Re: D-Verb warble
The TDM version always had modulation in it's algorithm, which was never included in the RTAS version. In PT 8, they added the same modulation algorithm to the RTAS version so it would match the TDM version. Many protested this change including myself, as opening older sessions was now an issue. The added modulation also used up a lot more CPU, which made opening older sessions that were very large another issue. Unfortunately, it cant be turned off. For the sake of backwards compatibility, we should be able to turn off the modulation.
Since PT 8, the TDM and RTAS algorithms have been identical. If you're hearing the modulation emphasized more in AXX, then it's definitely a bug that should be reported and looked at. Shane

Re: D-Verb warble
I just stopped using D-Verb when the modulation was added. Now I have a project where compatibility between several composers is important, and was considering using only stock Pro Tools plugins, but the modulation is making reverb tails out of tune.
I'll have to find another reverb plugin that everyone has on their rig... Personally, I feel like they rendered D-Verb unusable. Ring-outs are out of tune |

Re: D-Verb warble
Hey Scott,
The chorusing has been an issue for me since moving to HDX. I found this article on the avid site... no idea if installing an older version of D-verb will help but check this out: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...ow_To/en207777 |

Re: D-Verb warble
Thanks - I had thought of using an old version, but it might be unstable and end up being more trouble than it's worth. Since it's just for monitoring purposes before all compositions are approved and ultimately mixed on the same rig, We'll just use something else.
It's funny, I've used Pro Tools since the very beginning, and back when D-Verb was all there was in TDM land, I don't remember hearing this pitch issue at all. I wish they would give us a button to shut it off. What good is an out of tune reverb? (actually, it sounds nice within a track, but the ring-out is what's bothersome) |

Re: D-Verb warble
Ah! Thought I was going crazy. I've only noticed D Verb tails being a bit pitchy since going from TDM7.4 to HDX10. Not welcome and not seeing the point to be honest. Can you turn it off or what???

Re: D-Verb warble
There is no solution. Certain algorithms have added modulation to the tails. It can’t be disabled.
Honestly, I’d change your reverb. There are countless FAR better reverbs than D-Verb. Like light years better. Some of them ridiculously cheap. Some even free! Considering there’s going to be a ton of Black Friday sales in a few weeks, I’d do some research and demo a few plugins and then pull the trigger at the end of the month.

Re: D-Verb warble
Well, “better” is not an objective term.
I’ve got revived an relab480 any many more fantastic reverbs that I live and that sound “better”. But this almost cheap sounding graininess of d-verb is perfect for metal snare drums, I have not found a single one that does the same thing for me, it’s become a massive part of my “signature” drum sound. I would never use it for anything else since I got “better” sounding reverbs, but this one thing it does on snares is something that no other reverb can do for me. With today’s processing power it really shouldn’t be a problem for avid to fix this, a lot of people are still using d-verb (in fact many of my colleagues are using it for that very same reason$. |

While I completely understand your nostalgia for d-verb, at the end its just the matter of "home work". You will find a modern replacement of d-verb if you simply open yourself to trying all these new plugins... Try Exponential Audio, some of their plugins have built in EQ, Distortion and Dynamics algorithms to make it sound right.

It has nothing to do with processing power. The modulation was added in later versions. If anything, the additional modulation would require more CPU power. If you really can’t do away wth that grainy sound, here’s a suggestion. Go back to the old version if you can and create an IR of that setting that you like and load it up in any convolution plugin. Done! If you can’t load the old version that doesn’t have the modulation which, from memory, was the RTAS version, then I’m sure you can ask one of your colleagues to do it for you.
