Default Need a killer vocal verb setting for D-Verb

Does anyone have a setting for their D-Verb that they absolutely love and would like to share. I'm not really good at creating great vocal verb settings and would love to hear what some of you have come up with to use on my vocal tracks.

Thanks
-Mark

I've never found D-Verb to be killer on anything. It's just grainy and "ringy" sounding.

One of the first things I did after buying PTLE was to buy the Waves Native Power Pak that has Truverb - which is very decent, if not spectacular.

If you have an outboard Reverb, it will most likely also sound better than D-Verb. I used a Lexicon MPX110 with Protools for several years and got very respectable results out of it.

If you have a slower machine, then using an external reverb would be the way to go. If you have a fast machine, then get Altiverb. THAT's killer!

D-Verb is useless, except maybe to trash up a snare. I love Realverb.

DVerb doesn't 'do' killer I'm afraid. If you have to horsepower, get Altiverb - that really *is* killer, period.

Never could really get DVerb to sound decent at all. But, yeah Altiverb is great! Even if you don't have the fastest G4/G5. I have a G4/1.4Ghz....1.25g of RAM and can run three altiverbs (in high latency mode-mixdowns) with no problem.



Plus; Altiverb 5 is coming very soon!

If you truly have nothing better than D-Verb, put a 16bit dither before it (in a 24 bit session) and run it at 100% Mix on an Aux track. Then put a Digi 1 band EQ with a default Q setting. Now make another aux with the source untouched. Mix together to taste to the output (master track). Now go back to that EQ on the Verb-Aux track and sweep through the frequencies at about -3 to -6db. You will probably find a cut in the upper freq's a bit more pleasing. You can also play with the preprogrammed settings depending on what your after to get the best flavor.

Then go to eBay and search for Lexicon LXP-1 (&-5 if you like flavor). Cheap and wonderful outboard gear. Use to be the standard of the industry 20 years ago and is still excellent.
