de-reverb

I've seen questions in this group over the years about
removing reverb in recordings. The answers were not very
encouraging. Now, in the latest Audition release, Adobe
has added a "de-reverb" effect. It isn't a panacea by any
means from the demos they've posted. The result sounds a
bit "flangy" if you crank up the aggressiveness slider,
but it seems to improve recordings made under less than
ideal conditions.
I have a izotope RX 6 advanced de-verb plugin and find that it works on some phone recordings that somehow get early reflections. Not all, but some. I have produced about 180 half-hour radio interview shows that are the resultant edit of phone conversations. DE-verb came to market and I tried it once. Wow! It did help on some files. I had never thought about "reverb" on a phone call, but after that, I could hear the problem with new files and 99% of the time de-verb tightened up the file. You may have to jiggle with the settings to get the best out of it, but those adjustments are pretty easy.
The only issue is that processing the file in Pro Tools creates latency and you have to allow some extra time on the back end of the file (set the cursor past the end of the file) of it'll chop off the last moments of audio.
