Avid will not fix it, don't hope for it...
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.

Damn, used the sweep Waves supplied and created an IR for IR-1 according to their guide.
still doesn't sound the same (initial attack, high end and stereo spread seems off)....
well, guess I'll just have to say good bye to dVerb then.
thanks anyway!

Well I just tried it using the Plate setting as that doesn’t have any modulation. Sounds pretty damn close to the D-Verb version to me.

I use Voxengo’s deconvolution plugin with a 6 second sine sweep. The IR reverb needs to be increased by a couple of dB, but that’s to be expected. Aside from that, I think it’s pretty much the same and in the context of a mix, I’d say virtually indistinguishable.

Is this the first time you’ve created an IR? Perhaps you’ve done something wrong along the way?

Nah, have done it a couple of times.
But this one was particularly easy since I literally just used the sweep that waves supplied specifically for this purpose.
Run it through the reverb and print the wav.
Then literally just import wav into IR-1, that’s it, IR-1 is doing the deconvolution process etc for you.
Literally fool proof, zero chance to fck something up.

Well something is up, as the process works fine for me.

If that D-Verb setting means that much to you, I’d investigate further and perhaps try a different piece of sw for the deconvolution process.

Default Re: D-Verb warble

Just found this thread and wanted to add my 2p.

I've hated the modulation in D-Verb since I switched over to HD Native from TDM. I've just tried convoluting using the IR1 and I think I've got it to sound pretty damn close - at least, for my needs. The overall output level is a bit out compared to the D-Verb so that needs adjusting manually, but otherwise pretty happy.

NB No point people putting "just use another reverb". I have a bazillion fancy reverbs, most of which I've found to be completely useless in the context of a mix. The D-Verb does its own thing and - depending on context, of course - what it does works pretty well.
