remove echo

I shot a realtor doing a standup in an empty house, (didn't tell us until we got there), and there's a bit of echo in her standup. Is there a filter or combination of settings that can reduce/remove it?

Not really - the frequencies you want to remove are the same as the ones you want to keep.

Re: Can I damp down echoes a bit?

There is actually one desperation method you can try, but it'll take a little experimentation.


Set up a mike right in front of one of your monitor speakers. Hang a damp dish towel over the speaker and re-record your audio. If the towel is too thick or too wet, you'll get crap, but if you play around you can actually lose quite a bit of echo as the weaker signal will be damped down-- to coin a phrase.


You'll want to get the monitor and mike as far away from the computer as you can get-- or even dump the audio to a cd and record from your stereo system. The fan noise will wreck the whole thing.


Last ditch, but it can work."
