Hello Loungers! I need to hear from you :) I have been asked to author a series of articles about film and animation audio. I would like to know from the people in the visual side of the industry what topics would benefit you most? What audio/ music / sound / Foley topics do you find yourself researching? Are there terms or processes that puzzle you? Do you find it difficult to communicate with a composer or audio specialist? There are no dumb questions LOL. Now grab a cup of coffee, make yourself comfortable, tell me what would be helpful for you. :)

How do you get rid of audio echo when the voice cleanly recorded in a bare-walled room but the echo is noticeable and annoying? I have searched extensively and cannot find any real solution. Any suggestions?
What I am understanding; I need topics about proper audio set up, and topics for testing if that set up will work. Unfortunately I am unable to make any suggestions without listening to your audio and/ or viewing it through a spectral-graph. Our brains process audio much more accurately than our brains process video; Because of this audio needs to be more precise and handled as more precise than the visual side of things. Kudos to you for hearing that something needs to be done. Unfortunately it is one of those "An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure" scenarios. "Clean" for you may mean there were no other sounds, but to the audio professional it means there isn't what you are describing. I just gave a rather lengthy explanation to someone on LinkedIn with a similar situation. You may want to get help from a professional, it could save you a lot of money. The professional will have a plethora of equipment and software to help you AND will be handling it in a room or studio that has been acoustical designed for the job with proper monitors that don't "excite" or change the true recording. There has been a lot of wonderful inventions to help audio, but the best scenarios are a recording that starts "dry" or "dead" so that acoustic enhancement can then added. It's likely your audio will need a careful balancing act of removing the extra re-verb from the room without making the voices sound like robots. Thank you, your question has given me ideas for several topic. If you want to send me a snippet of your audio - I'll take a look at it.
Hi. Here is a link to a clip that has the reverb problem. Any comments are welcome. Thx. http://youtu.be/BVIYMMCE00w
Just found a great piece of software - SPL Deverb - cleans up echo wonderfully
