Reverb in samples new

Hi guys.

I'm trying to get rid of some reverb from some samples containing vocals. I have processed it through M/S to get rid of the stereo field but the reverb is still there. Does this mean that the reverb also has seeped into mono while being added or was the reverb not truly mono?
I will try gating it too.


Thanks

There tends to be a pretty strong mono component in both real and artificial reverb - though there tends to be less L/R correlation at higher frequencies (as you've probably discovered; did the reverb's character get darker when you converted the sample to mono?).

Transient Designer can sometimes be helpful here, just turn the Decay control down a bit. There are 'reverb-removal' plug-ins, but I haven't used them myself.

Cheers!

Chris

I've found that the Enveloper plugin in Logic does a decent job at removing reverb. Similar plugins are available for other DAWs/platforms.
