    Is the ‘echo’ slightly before the voice (a common problem with some analogue tapes) or is the echo actually room noise or a poorly recorded voice or has it been artificially been put there, is the track a stereo or mono track?

    Is there any chance you can post some on line so we can have a listen.

    Can’t do a lot for that problem. I can suggest a plugin that has sometimes helped but with limited expectations.

    Brian, I tried to put it on here but it didn’t work – can I email it to you?

    Id not expect much joy with this unless its something basic like 1 leg has slipped to the other and youre listening to a LR stero file in mono. That whould be easy, but if it is truly on the same recording then youll need a re voice.

    At least a vo is re doable, not like a shoot etc.
    If its been supplied to you externally then just reject it and get the supplier to sort it if its his problem.

    Post your sample on a public file-sharing website and post the link here. Without hearing the sample, we can offer only wild speculation. Don’t get your hopes up that the problem can be fixed in post-production editing.

    A tick has appeared by my last post.
    Was that really it?
