I have some vocals I got from someone so I could do a song with them...They have a lot of reverb on them and I would like to take it off if it is at all possible. Does anyone know of any way to process vocals to remove reverb? There is no way the vocals can be recorded again.

Thanks

If they dont need to be a completely dry you could try using a gate to cut of the reverb tails, but other than that theres no easy solution

thanks creepjoint...also I am wondering about things like autotune...is there anything free that I could use to make these vocals sound totaly in tune, it is a new singer and everything is not perfect...thanks again

To give you an example : You make coffe and you add sugar. Do you think you can remove it back from it, and have a sugar free coffe? No. What is done is done.

Lots of ideas here:

Probably the most 'scientific' way is to deconvolve the signal.

Voxengo deconvolver can do this:

as can Soundforge.

Boil the coffee and catch the vapour through some filter paper , cool the vapour and your left with coffee and the sugar will be left on the filter paper , not sure if this will work on the early cubase releases
Hey just Glad to help out....

In the boiling process you'll take away some of the coffee also. A fresh pot of coffee will taste much better.

but how do you get the sugar and coffee separated once you've got rid of the water?

Maybe it was Maxwell House anyway so it needs sugar.

in the boiling process almost no coffee or sugar will go with the vapor....that is how things get concentrated. if you boil away half the water, it will taste like you are in a room twice the size.

Yeah, the coffee and sugar will remain in the pot. So what you'd have to do is then blot up the sweet coffe glue at the bottom of the pot, and use electrophoresis to separate out the sugar and coffee.

But I find that with most singers, electrophoresis doesn't work....but electrocution sure solves their annoying singing. What you need to do here is pour the sweet coffee all over their mics and forget all about filter paper. Then put sweet sweet reverb all over their screams.

After I emptied the fresh pot of coffee (no sugar nor lard, thanx) I stumbled upon this thingy by pure accident, looks quite interesting: the MSAdjust tool!

Maybe, just maybe if the reverb is the lushy stereo type you can get rid (of most) of it with this plugin by only allowing the "mid" signal to pass through.

Tell us weather you got some results, ATS!

Boiling, condensing, and re-combining coffee can help to remove sugar, yes, but it also introduces severe quantization taste.

Uhhh

So to remove reverb, you boil coffee?

Try out digitalfishphones "Dominion" (it's in the fish fillets package). Could perhaps do a nice job - for me it's usually working better than a plain gate.
