Do NR based on the fingerprint of just the reverb. Then skimp on the amount of reduc you apply.

Nice cooking tips. Gone for lunch..

Try a marrow for subwoofer sounds.

You may have some luck with ExtraBoy Pro.

depends on the sample!

gating can do some more choppy samples,

if its long stringy stuff then you got your work cut out!

EQ it.

nope - sorry, but of all the recommendations so far this is the least useful one...

I just recall this thread from pluginnow last year, he claimed that he created a dereverberation algorithm, it wasn't really convincing at the time IMO (a lot of artifacts), but looked promising :

...i just hope he didn't gave up !

Hello, hope you are doing all well. Kudos for this interesting thread. The potatoes in the soup is good to know really. But what is missing is how the reverb is flavored here. Is it warm (low) or plate (high)? Then you go Subtractive/Additive for something that is more de-reverb...
1. Subtractive (Multiband & Rubberfilter)
2. Additive (Parametric EQing)

If you are de-reverbing you're way past winning a grammy award, so why work too hard on it:)

EQ is not the whole story, but does have a part to play if you want to de-reverb. Here's a clue: I get very low frequencies from the output of my spring reverb, when I play a clean hi-hat sound through it. The dry hi-hat does not contain those frequencies at all. Doh..

welll, usually a reverb shouldn't add any frequency-content which isn't available in the original...

I agree though that a spring-reverb can do that - this is because of the mechanical way it works (if you kick it it even produces sound all by itself)

Well I have a 2-spring reverb, and it does add a ton of warm, muddy stuff. So I've put a capacitor in line with the output, and this reduces it to an acceptable level but the low frequencies are still there. It's all a part of my setup though and I love it for the dub drums sound.

I use a Danelectro Spring King (3springs) which introduces artifacts as well - but I love them.

waiter theres a troll in my soup-

still need to know what the sample is exactly- maybe you could post it- it better not be an 808 clap or something

WTF Arke ? You ask this question then leaves this thread for dead.No comments,no nothing. What's up with that ? That's not like you. Are you alright ?
