    I have some audio clips that were recorded in a room with a slight echo. Anyone got any ideas for how to improve the sound/lessen the echo-y quality using audio effects in PPro 1.5? Thanks–

    If it’s a “Low – Boomy” sounding echo you could try eq-ing the problem frequency. Play around with the center frequency until it lessens the effect. Also, gating with a slow cutoff might also help.

    Thanks for the response. It’s actually more of a tinny rather than a low-boomy kind of echo. What do you think?
    thanks-

    Hi Ruby,

    Without hearing it I am just making stabs in the dark here.

    Again, a carefully adjusted EQ might do the trick. Just be careful not to cut out the voice frequencies or change EQ settings too much or they will end up sounding hollow, muffled or like an old AM radio. Also, if it is a very “Narrow” frequency, the notch filter might do the trick. Play with the frequency slider while the clip is playing until you find the center of the offending frequency. Sometimes a combination of a couple of things used in moderation will do the trick. I would suggest experimenting with the various plugins until you find a satisfactory result.
