Have you ever returned to the edit suite only to find that the field recording you made sounds like it was recorded 50 feet away from the speaker in a parking garage? There’s too much room on the audio track, and now you’re faced with fixing it. Excessive reverb, the result that comes from sound swimming around a large room and being picked up by the microphone makes the voice sound distant and non-distinct.
You probably had the mic too far away or the room was unusually large and “live” or reverberant. Learn from your mistake and get closer with the mic next time and avoid these problems altogether. Since you can’t go back in time, try these techniques instead.
