Advice please: Best app/FX to 'de-reverb' the spoken voice
Hello all:
I have a piece of video of my wife and her sister accepting an award on behalf of their deceased father which will be played at a banquet in his honor etc. Film's good, talk is good, but it was recorded in a room with a high ceiling and is 'boomy'.
I can get the audio track off and then bring it back again easily enough, but would love any clues you guys have as to the best way to at least take the edge of the natural reverb on their voices?
Grateful for any and all suggestions.
JG

I’m thinking FAC Transient. It has a built in setting called “Kill The Room” which might do it. I’ve used it on some very “roomy” sounding drums before and it totally deadens the reverb.
Probably something desktop based is more likely to improve the sound.
iZotope RX can do it, but any improvement is dependent on the wet/dry ratio of the original.
I‘ve found the boom part (unwanted resonances) the most problematic aspect of such cases, so Zynaptiq‘s UnFilter is put at the 1st processing stage.
Then distance or reverb may be controlled by UnVerb (same company) if desired.
The example is a bit off topic, but shows the effect quite well. I‘ve recently had some very good results with acoustic guitar recordings in an untreated room.

It‘s an expensive combo, but worth to have in the tool chest for (say) events that can‘t be repeated.
I can't suggest any magic app to remove the actual reverb (I suspect it might be baked in and unremovable) , but have you tried mixing it with the bass reduced. That might help make the "boomy-ness" less noticable.
Thank you all. I appreciate your input. I will have a fiddle (which is our fate after all hereabouts
)
If you get stuck, DM me and I can try with RX.
I'd combine a couple of EQs with FAC transient.
Rx is probably what you want. Advanced version has dialogue isolate which is probably the best tool (I wish I had it!), but the de-reverb module in rx standard would probably work well enough for your purpose (and it’s the one I do have).
Same here - I have Standard with the de-reverb, which can definitely remove at least some of the reverb.
Thanks fellas.
Gasp!
