Dampening a Lively Room

I'm a newbie . . .

I have already made a recording - and I need to dampen the sound to counteract the echo from a lively room. The dampening effect I need is not too dramatic - since the recording only has a slight echo. Can anyone suggest how some of the Vegas plugins can help me with this?

Thanks.

Sorry, there is very very very little you can do once any echo or reverb has been recorded along with the original material.

You can try playing with the EQ and cut out frequencies beyond the normal vocal range, but most of the echo is in the same range. You can try Noise Gate if the echoes are very quiet as this will cut out quiet parts of the recording, but often this sounds worse than the echo.

you could try running accoustic mirror in your room and bringing the REST of the recording to a similar ambience as the already recorded tracks. You wont have much luck going the other way and trying to ditch ambience
