Download app from app store. Recording sound dialogue can prove challenging on set. Sometimes we find ourselves sacrificing ideal audio conditions for a beautiful shot. Whatever the case, we’ve all come across dialogue audio recorded with too much natural reverb present within the room.
If budget and time allows, ADR is the higher-quality option to replace your cavernous dialogue recording. Though as filmmakers often know, the best option isn’t always the most realistic in completing your project.
In any case, there are a few great plugins Citrix workspace not working on big sur. (compatible with Adobe Audition, Premiere Pro, and most audio/video editing software) that can actually “de-verb” your dialogue audio.

Acon Digital DeVerberate Step-by-Step Tutorial
1. Open the plugin and select reduce room reverb from the preset menu. Listen to the dialogue audio with and without the plugin engaged.
2. Next, adjust the reverb time (the time it takes for the original source sound to reflect off of the walls and come back to the microphone)in the source reverb settings box. As a general rule of thumb, larger rooms require a greater amount of reverb time (in seconds). Enable the difference monitoring box. This allows you to hear the amount of reverb the plugin will be filtering from your dialogue audio. Adjust the reverb time parameter gradually while playing back the audio. Adjust until you begin to hear only the reverb from the dialogue.
3. Uncheck difference monitoring to hear what effect the plugin has on the dialogue. Next, adjust the reverb level (dB) parameter (the amount of reverb to reduce/add) balancing between reverb removal and avoiding artifacts.
4. Although your dialogue audio should be sounding pretty good at this point, there may be some artifacts in the audio from the reverb reduction. Next, we will use the spectral smoothing parameter to reduce these artifacts. Use this parameter carefully as higher values may bring back some reverb.
