dealing with too much room sound
« on: January 31, 2012, 02:12:10 PM »

Obviously room boom/reverb can be somewhat mitigated by mic placement and config.

Are there any techniques for mitigating too much boom/reverb in an audience tape.

I've been getting real good and adding presence to SBD's with Izotope multi-band compression, exciter and reverb. I'm wondering if there are any tricks/tips to go the other way.

have you tried playing around with EQ in the the 300-500hz band and around the 5-7khz regions? I find I catch the most room reverb in those areas and I've knocked out maybe a single db in one or either for mild improvements.

I havn't found a magic bullet though for post-corrections.

This is what I do if I taped in a bad room.  Pull down these bands and see if that does the trick.

Use a Mid - Side plugin to convert LR to MS, then reduce the ratio of side to mid, and reconvert.
