Hello Jason!!!
I was in Warsaw 16.11 and a saw your tips and tricks for mixing audio. I would like to ask you about something but there was not enough time . Maybe you know where I can find information about how professional remove echo (I recorded the sound in different rooms which diffrent acoustics – I use boompole with mic senneheiser). Can you give me some advice where I can find some good tricks?
Hey Waldek. Unfortunately, there’s really no ‘trick’ to removing echo, nor is there a completely effective process for doing this. The general rule is, while you can sometimes remove ‘decay’ of echo (using a combination of downward expansion/gating), and enhance presence of a given signal (ie, a voice in an echoey hall), you still won’t be able to remove ‘the distance’ from the subject to the mic, which is really the fundamental issue. I once had a tutorial on this years ago, but there are just so many factors involved, it’s not something that you can do easily, nor is very effective. There are some plugins that claim to ‘de-echo’ a signal, but honestly, I’ve never heard anything that doesn’t produce A TON of artifacts, ie, making it rather useless. The best method is basically three steps: 1) try to gate any echo or decay with a gate or downward expander effect; 2) find the fundamental of the frequency you’re trying to preserve, and use very subtle notch and/or graphic equalization to enhance the presence of the signal; and 3) perform an overall compression (ratio approximately 2:1, not much more) to smooth out general dynamics and give everything a slightly more ‘present’ feel. Hope that helps.

Hi Mr. Levine,
I enjoyed your workshop on Adobe software during College Media Association 2013. I had a quick question if you don’t mind. You told us about a special deal for students for adobe master collection at 19.99 per month. My question is: is it better for me to purchase the entire master collection from my campus for about 800 dollars or do it monthly (although I’m a student for only 3 more months). Which one would be a better investment in your opinion? I would like to do professional video editing.
Thank you very much,

Hey Bahar! Thanks for the nice comments. With regard to your purchase inquiry…$800 is certainly a great deal on Master Collection, however the Creative Cloud option just honestly, offers more, and offers more moving forward. Frequent updates, other products which can help you market said videos, etc (like Muse, Edge, Business Catalyst for Website hosting, unlimited iPad app creation) all of these things…you just ‘get’ them. Not to mention other things like Acrobat Professional. As I said in the seminar that day…you think you only need Reader until you need to make/modify a PDF! And then there’s just the bottom line of ALWAYS being current with Creative Cloud; always having the latest versions of the software. If you were to buy the ‘boxed’ MC now, you would undoubtedly have to upgrade at some point. And it’s no surprise that we typically announce things around this time (around NAB) so food for thought there. It’s a shift, moving to the Cloud…but our Members really love it; and with even new added services like free Pro Accounts with Behance (to showcase your artistic creations) it’s yet another benefit, another way to expand your audience/creative community, and one more reason to jump to the Cloud. Hope that provides a little insight. Best –JL
Dear Jason Levine, Thank you for your thorough answer on this, I really appreciate it. With regards to that, I’m actually starting to learn Premiere, and I’m not at all well-trained on the Adobe products, so I thought getting the cloud for the first year may not be useful since I will not be using all of the awesome features anyways. And thought I could use that 600 dollars toward a permanent product. Can I get your opinion on this as well? Thank you again
