Sampling (reverb tails)

[massplanck]

Yeah. I spent the whole day ripping samples from a DVD. I have piles that need *fixing*. Id like to be able to setup a batch job to do this but might have to be done manually for each.

I don't usually bother with it too much. 2 things I've tried. One is with either EQ or the Sony Noise Reduction plug. Sometimes reverb is separate enough from a frequency spectrum that you can effectively remove it from a sample. Or, if the spectrum is consistent enough, you can do a noisecapture in in the Noise Reduction plug, and try and filter it with that. It'll sometimes sound a little sloppy though. The other is simply creating a reverb that matches the depth of the original, and only applying it to the last part of noticable sound in the sample. Again, play with it a little bit, and you basically just get a long tail with not much going on in it that will trick the brain away from hearing an abrupt ending at times. One or the other has almost always worked for me.
