It sounds like you are edit correctly as far as switching sources. I do the same thing when I edit stage shows. I get a mix from the console and I also have a mic for the audience. I drop a volume envelope on both tracks. When someone is talking on stage, I raise the volume envelope on the stage track and kill the audience volume. When the audience reacts, I kill the stage track and raise the audience volume. That’s a good workflow to follow because, as you have seen, both having sources up makes the echo worse.

What about normalizing. should I not do anything to the audio at all….just use the raw audio. That is where I got into trouble.
Tried to fix it the way I was told. The only other thing I can think of is the controls for the audio are not in the proper place. -
One more question I promise. Why when I lower the stage vol. and
raise the audience volume ….does the audience sound better. The stage sounds hollow. -
Normalizing was fine if it was too low. If just raises the volume of everything which raises the echo as well. I would not normalize unless the audio is too low.
The Paragraphic EQ will help to boost the good audio and reduce the bad audio. Sometimes if you can boost the human voice frequencies, you can lower the overall volume and the echo gets lowered with it. Just don’t expect miracles.

How was the stage audio recorded? If the mic was too far away it will sound hollow.

Pin right to his coat. 12 inches from his mouth.

Thanks I got it.

Hmmm… the ideal placement for a lav mic is on the thickest part of breast plate which is about a “fist” length down from the bottom of your chin. Usually around the second button on a man’s shirt. Some people wear them like tie clips but that’s too far away. So if you really mean’t a 12 inches, it should have been more like 6 inches.
It should also be an omnidirectional mic not unidirectional as these are too sensitive to head movement unless you know the head will always be straight like when talking to the camera.
It is very strange to get a hollow sound from a lav mic if used properly.
