  Is it possible to cut down room echo?

  Posted by Jeffrey Gould on January 7, 2006 at 4:36 am

  Not really sure how to explain this,but I shot a video in an OR of a Dr. doing an on camera testimonial and the sound has the quality or lack there of an empty room, I used a lav, but they had scrubs on and the mic wouldn’t really stay where I wanted it…so the mic could’ve been closer to their mouth. Is there any effect in Audition that would compress the echo sound? Thanks for any direction.

  Sorry, once it’s there it’s almost impossible to remove …. WILLIE

  I think it depends… You will not be able to get rid of the whole echoes, but maybe you can shorten them with a ducker. Try to analyse the echoes frequencies (which must not be the same as the voices, because of room reflections) with a parametric equalizer and filter them out.

  Or – if it

  Thanks Alex, I’ll try your suggestions. Perhaps echo was the wrong term, more of a auditorium (large room) effect…same result though.
