How to remove reverb with Audacity
If you have an Audio file with annoying room reverb, you can remove the reverb with Audacity. However, you should be aware that it is possible to remove the reverb as reverb is very difficult to estimate and filter. For a good result you have to play around a bit.
- First, you need to install in Audacity, the Noise Gate plug-in. First download the Plugin from the official Website down.
- Unzip the archive file and place the files in the "Plugin"folder of your Audacity installation path.
- Start Audacity and import the data Audio file in the workspace.
- Select the audio track and then select the tab "effects", the just installed "Noise Gate"effect.
- You leave the first four settings in the now opened window the way they are. In order to reduce the Hall, you need only the Knob "Level reduction", "Gate threshold" and "Attack Decay".
- Set the "Level reduction" to "-100 DB". The consequence of this is that, later on, the detected Hall-noises are completely filtered out.
- Under the "Gate threshold" you need to experiment, depending on the Audio file a lot. This Control ensures that all the noise is cut in the specified number of DB to get out. In our case, this should be in the Hall.
- The Hall should be within your Audio file at different volume levels, you should work best in small steps, and your Audio file into a plurality of sections individually edit.
- With the last Controller "Attack/Decay" you can make fine adjustments. Your Audio file should sound like after editing choppy, you can adjust this Knob to delay and readjust.
- Once you are satisfied with the settings, you can confirm with the OK Button. You should not be satisfied with the result, you can make the Change with the key combination CTRL+Z to undo. You can then run the Plugin again and adjust the settings.
