Select the preset titled Less Room – more direct from the preset selection menu.Ģ. Upon opening, you will find this plugin has a very simple interface with only two parameters: reverb reduction, and output gain. Use this parameter carefully as higher values may bring back some reverb.ġ. Next, we will use the spectral smoothing parameter to reduce these artifacts. Although your dialogue audio should be sounding pretty good at this point, there may be some artifacts in the audio from the reverb reduction. Next, adjust the reverb level (dB) parameter (the amount of reverb to reduce/add) balancing between reverb removal and avoiding artifacts.Ĥ. Uncheck difference monitoring to hear what effect the plugin has on the dialogue. Adjust until you begin to hear only the reverb from the dialogue.ģ. Adjust the reverb time parameter gradually while playing back the audio.
This allows you to hear the amount of reverb the plugin will be filtering from your dialogue audio. As a general rule of thumb, larger rooms require a greater amount of reverb time (in seconds). Next, adjust the r everb time (the time it takes for the original source sound to reflect off of the walls and come back to the microphone) in the source reverb settings box. Listen to the dialogue audio with and without the plugin engaged.Ģ. Open the plugin and select reduce room reverb from the preset menu. Thanks, Curtis! Acon Digital DeVerberate Step-by-Step Tutorialġ. This video tutorial was first shared by Curtis Judd on his YouTube channel. After the video, we’ll look at the steps Judd took in his process. Here’s a video tutorial from Curtis Judd of Learn Light and Sound that covers the removal of echo and reverb from dialogue audio using two of the above plugins: Acon Digital DeVerberate and SPL De-Verb. In any case, there are a few great plugins (compatible with Adobe Audition, Premiere Pro, and most audio/video editing software) that can actually “de-verb” your dialogue audio.ĭon’t want to buy them? All of these plugins have trial-versions you can try out for free. Though as filmmakers often know, the best option isn’t always the most realistic in completing your project. If budget and time allows, ADR is the higher-quality option to replace your cavernous dialogue recording. Whatever the case, we’ve all come across dialogue audio recorded with too much natural reverb present within the room. Sometimes we find ourselves sacrificing ideal audio conditions for a beautiful shot.
Recording sound dialogue can prove challenging on set. Use these audio tips (and a couple of plugins) to easily remove reverb and echo from dialogue.
