Waves Clarity VX Dereverb Pro

What is Waves Clarity Vx DeReverb Pro for?

Clarity Vx DeReverb Pro is a vocal processing plugin designed to reduce unwanted reverberation already present in a recording. It is intended for both post-production needs (dialogue, interviews, documentary, fiction) and musical productions where a sung vocal was recorded in an overly reverberant room or with a "baked-in" ambience. The goal is simple: to achieve a closer, clearer voice that is easier to place in the mix, while respecting the character of the original take.

Main Features

Next-generation AI Dereverberation

At the core of DeReverb Pro is an artificial intelligence technology dedicated to vocal cleaning, trained to handle a wide range of environments: dry rooms, small spaces, highly resonant areas, as well as short or long reverbs. The processing aims to separate the useful voice from its reflections and reverb tail to recover a more direct signal, immediately usable in editing, mixing, or audio restoration.

Advanced Precision with 6 Bands

Rather than applying a global dereverb, DeReverb Pro allows you to precisely decide where and how much to process across the spectrum using 6 flexible bands. This approach is ideal for common cases: reverb tail too present in the low end, sibilance and trails in the high frequencies, or early reflections that blur word attacks. This way, you keep the desired "production sound" elements while removing only what hinders intelligibility.

More Power, Up to 200% When Needed

When certain spectral areas require more radical correction, the plugin engine allows pushing the processing up to 200% dereverberation on the targeted bands. The result: you recover a clearer voice on difficult takes (indoor shooting, untreated room, distant microphone), while maintaining fine control to avoid an "over-cleaned" effect.

Tail Smoothing and Presence: A Clear but Credible Voice

The Tail Smoothing feature helps shape the decay of the reverberation to achieve a more coherent rendering with the image and context, for example when a wide shot needs to retain some space, then a close-up requires a more intimate voice. The Presence control allows you to rebalance the organic frequencies of the voice to preserve naturalness and proximity after cleaning.

Fast Workflow, Full Control, and Automation

Designed for daily use in post-production and studio, Clarity Vx DeReverb Pro delivers immediate results and encourages "in-context" adjustment within your session. The parameters are fully automatable, facilitating adaptation to changes in framing, shot, or intensity throughout a scene, as well as adjustments across different passages of a vocal performance.

Monitoring Options: Solo, Bypass, and Delta

To secure your decisions, the plugin includes monitoring toggles: Solo and Bypass for instant comparison, as well as Delta to precisely hear what is being removed. This is particularly useful to avoid cutting essential components of diction, breathing, or timbre.

Two Dedicated Networks: Dialogue and Singing

The needs of dialogue differ from those of a sung voice. DeReverb Pro offers specifically trained processing with dedicated neural networks for speech and sung vocals, optimizing cleaning while respecting musicality, vibratos, and attacks.

Included: Clarity Vx DeReverb

Clarity Vx DeReverb Pro also includes Clarity Vx DeReverb, useful if you want a simpler option or a complementary second tool in your vocal restoration and mixing arsenal.
