some voice-overs?
Thanks Matti

its hard but usually a combination of gate, expander, compressor and eq can help out.ITTAM wrote:Is there a way to reduce exess reverb from

If you have the dry track you can(and were talking about fx reverb not the real kind)
invert the phase of the dry track
then mix it with the effected track and youll be left with just the reverb
so you can do what you want to it then
if not use a gate or manually fade the reverb tail

Without doubt the simplest way is using a gate. There really aren't any kind of tips to give for using one, you just have to adjust it until it sounds good enough for you. Well maybe one, the two most important controls for your purpose will be threshold and release.
If you need to remove reverb that's still obtrusive behind the next vox take, you could use eq (try to just notch out the stongest reverb freq's leaving the vocal intact - could be hard) or possibly use a vocal seperater. Alot of reverbs will be spread across the whole left/right spectrum, while vox are usually centre panned. Have a look for plugins that are specifically tailored for cropping vox from a song (before employing new advanced techniques, they generally discard all audio that is not panned directly centre or at the pan location that it detects the strongest vocal signal at). Some of them may even have a built in gate too.

Depends. If the track is stereo and vocals are in the center then use m/s to cut side material or may be particular range of frequencies. If they are hard panned then it is the other way around. And what others said.
