Audio suggestions needed-Church audio not so good!

[Graham Bernard]

Echo, actually SLIGHT reverb, is one of the major nasties to try and remove. There are some phase reversal treatments that can be done within Vegas, but it is not for the faint of heart. Echo or reverb cancellation is something to search for.

Hmmmm . . . You have a search and I will too.

Isotrope does have a new plug-in that is designed to reduce reverb. I’ve never tried it it but the denoise is amazing. It may not be designed for this type of audio but you can download a demo and try it.

Sometimes a gate can be a little helpful, but setting the threshold can be a bit tricky…try using that and a noise filter if you don’t have the Izotope mentioned above.

For future reference, if you are videotaping anything in a church try to pull a line from the board so you can reduce reverb. I know it can be hard, and not always possible, but it can save a ton of headache!

Good luck!

Are you willing to post a “sample” of the audio?

Thanks everyone for the suggestions you’ve given so far. I will note that I do not have any other sound tools other than what comes with Vegas 12.

Thanks

Thanks for that info Scott–thankfully I did not shoot this video and I rarely shoot any video inside churches as I do pretty much do sports exclusively.

Not good . . .

Back in Vegas I tried the Invert Waveform and applied the “slight” compression, you read on the SONY Forum. I repeated this twice to hear any improvement – there is, but nowhere near the full picnic!

Grazie
