- Hello, I'm Mike Russell from musicradiocreative.com.
In this video, we will look at how to remove echo
from a clip in Adobe Premier Pro.

Check out my Premier Pro audio presets.
If you're working with dialogue, different microphones,
or you need to do some noise reduction in your videos,
you need these audio presets.
Head over to mrc.fm/presets to download them now.

- Okay, let's dive straight in.
Here's podcast clients of ours
with a bit of echo in the room.
- Can you dive into that?
- Right. So as I was doing the research on this
the first time-
- Okay, you can hear a bit of room echo going on,
but it's really easy to remedy this.
If we go into the effects window and we look for D Reverb.
We can drag and drop it onto the dialogue there.
We can edit that and we can just move this
from zero to 100%.
The easiest way to remove the room echo.
- Right? - Can you dive into that?
- Right, so as I was doing the research on this-
- At 56% it's working really well, drag it back down.
- Right - Can you dive into that?
- Right. So as I was doing the research on this-
- And you hear how it makes a massive difference.
But that's not all.
For the moment I'm going to bypass that effect.
And we're gonna go to some other ideas as well.
The other one is to try out parametric equalizer.
Now, if you have a play with this
you can really drag out some of the bad frequencies
in your audio that contain echo.
So I'm doing this without the D Reverb applied.
And what I'm gonna do is notch up one of these EQ bands here
and make it smaller by changing the Q width
on a couple of them.
So one on the three, one on the four,
and we'll bring this up and we'll scan through as we play,
- Right - Can you dive into that?
Right. So as I was doing the research on this
the first time I presented it was, it's just three-
- Right about here.
We've got some pretty terrible stuff going on.
So let's widen that out.
- Busy words, Tracy-
- Let's drag that out.
- So the first one is how the culture-
- So that's helping to remove
some room frequencies that contain the echo.
Again, I could do this a second time with this note.
- To the invisible glue that keeps your business team
rolling and energetic and productive,
is based on what do you believe?
- Okay.
- How do you behave towards each other?
And how do you make decisions-
- Okay.
More echo going on there.
Let's drag that out right then.
- So you just have-
- Okay, so now we've added that in
and I might drag that ahead of D Reverb.
We can have Parametric Equalizer
with frequencies pulled out. D Reverb applied.
Let's listen now to what we've got.
- Right. Can you dive into that?
Right. So as I was
- Sounding really clean,
I might just back that off a little bit,
now I've done some EQ work.
- Doing the research on this the first time that I-
- And the final thing you can do,
obviously this has music in the background,
so we don't wanna do this on this particular clip.
But if this was dialogue without music mixed in,
I'd also go ahead and add in the Dynamics Effect,
drag and drop it.
And I'd edit and I'd add an auto gate,
which is gonna allow me.
- Was, it's just-
- To block out some of the background audio.
You can hear it ducking down when the speech stops.
Now, obviously in this particular case
there is music that's getting ducked out.
But if you have a pure piece of dialogue
with nothing else in the background
and you wanna remove as much echo as possible,
remember those three effects.
Parametric EQ, to scan through
and pull out the echo from the room.
D Reverb to do most of the legwork.
And then, finally, Dynamics and Auto Gate
to gate out some of the bad echo frequencies.
And what that will do when you set the threshold correctly
it's gonna pull out a lot of the room sound
that you don't need to be there
by muting anything that goes below a certain level.
So anything that's not voice will be muted
and you'll get a much cleaner recording.
