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. This enables you to accurately hear the difference between the original and the compressed sound.Use these audio tips (and a couple of plugins) to easily remove reverb and echo from dialogue. Release: This controls how long it takes for a compressor to relax the compression once your audio level has fallen below the threshold.Īuto Makeup Gain: This setting can be used to restore however much gain you reduced from the original signal using gain reduction. It controls the length of time it takes for a compressor to kick in after the audio signal exceeds the threshold. Using your ears, determine which ratio sounds best for your mix.Īttack: This is the reaction time of a compressor. As a rule, high ratios make compression more noticeable / aggressive, whereas lower ratios produce more subtle compression. For example, if the ratio is set to 3:1, for every 3dB the volume goes over the threshold that you set, 1dB will be outputted. Ratio: The Ratio determines how much gain / volume reduction is being applied when the compressor starts working. You can set the threshold to whatever point you desire. For instance, if you set the threshold to -20dB, than compression will be applied to everything above -20dB and not applied to everything lower than -20dB. Threshold: Setting the threshold indicates where you want the compression to occur. Here are some parameters used in audio compressors that you will need to know. The video resource above explains compression nicely. Understanding how and when to use compression can be complicated. Audio Compression reduces the difference between the quietest and loudest part of the song or audio file.
