01Overview

DeVerberate 3 targets a common problem in recorded audio: room reverberation that was captured along with the sound you need. The plugin splits incoming audio into an estimate of the direct sound and the reverberated sound, which can then be recombined in different proportions. Acon Digital says the new version uses a neural network trained on thousands of voice recordings across many acoustic spaces. A separate manual mode covers music and other signal types, with control over the original reverberation's level and decay times.

Automatic Dialogue Reverb Reduction and Manual Control

The headline feature is fully automatic reverb reduction for recorded dialogue, built on deep learning. Acon Digital says the neural network was trained on thousands of high-quality voice recordings in a wide range of acoustic surroundings, allowing it to separate speech from its reverb without manual setup.

For music and other sources, DeVerberate 3 keeps the reverb reduction algorithm from version 2. Here you adjust the level and decay times of the original reverberation. Separate controls for the direct sound and the reverberation level let you rebalance both parts after the split.

An Early Reflections Filter works alongside the suppression algorithms. It estimates the impulse response of the early reflections and uses it to cancel their effect.

Filters, Metering and Pro Tools Control

DeVerberate 3 includes high and low shelving filters with variable slopes from -3 to -96 dB per octave, and high and low peak filters with adjustable bandwidth from 0.1 to 3.0 octaves. A frequency emphasis filter applies to the reduction level.

A graphical frequency response display shows the input signal, the output signal and the estimated reverberation as spectra. You can edit filter settings directly through handles on the frequency response curve, which makes the tonal adjustments easier to see.

The plugin supports EUCON and full Pro Tools HW controller support, which suits engineers working on dialogue in Pro Tools sessions.
