‘Fixing’ audio in Avid…?
I’m fairly new to avid and am using Avid …not sure which version.
I’m working on a short video and am not sure of my options when it comes to adjusting audio/eq and such. The room that we shot in was big and gave off a some big reverb. We were able to get a decent sound by keeping the mic close, but there are a few shots where the mic had to be further away by a foot or two and the sound just doesn’t match because it has more reverb in it.
I know that audio is hard to ‘fix’, but what do I play around with to try to get it to sound better or minimize the reverb? I saw there was ‘audio eq’ tool…but it didn’t seem to help much. Is that pretty much it? Or are there others things in the programs that I can try out?

Unfortunately, echo/reverb is pretty much impossible to eliminate.
This isn’t an Avid limitation, its physics. Someone adept in Pro Tools might be able to make it a little better, but its never going to match.

Avid has a suite of plugins called the Audio suite plugins. They are under tools. I would recommend using a gate in order to squelch the noise. Or use an equalizer (still in the same options) to drop the highs of the room, and boost the mid range. You will probably never get rid of it all, but you can make it usable.
