PIX, I just wanted to send a quick follow-up:
At your recommendation, I purchased DyVision Reverb Remover, and have used your suggested technique to edit a couple dozen presentation sessions. The result is not perfect; but it is WAY better than the original. I have learned to tweak each clip so that I'm removing as much of the echo as possible while stopping just short of making the remaining speech sound stilted. I do my volume balancing outside of the VST.
In the meantime, I filmed a couple more days' worth of presentations; and this time I made sure to put a lapel mic on each presenter. Sometimes that meant a presenter was wearing two lapel mics - one for my camera and one for the house audio - but they were all very gracious about it. So for future projects I'm hoping I won't have to deal with echo anymore; but if I ever do, I am ready!
Thanks again!

Thank you so much!
I, too, had gotten as far as removing the right channel, duplicating the left, and bumping up the volume, using AudioDirector. (The shotgun mic was on the left channel, plugged in via XLR, and the right channel was just the mic built into the camera - a lesser-quality signal without the tight focus of the shotgun.) But once I got it to that point, I was having trouble cleaning up the signal more without making it sound weird.
I won't have a chance to try the VST until later tonight; but I'm really looking forward to seeing what it can do. I'll respond again once I've had a chance to play with it.
Once again, thank you for your assistance!

Thanks for your help! I am attaching a 15-second (or so) clip. I included a few vocal pauses so I could have a room noise sample to work with as well. I appreciate any assistance.
(I also have CyberLink WaveEditor 2; and I am willing to get and import VST's if that will help.)

I videorecorded a multi-day conference in a hotel ballroom, and am now processing the audio and video so that the footage can be distributed.
Because the speaker was already using a microphone in order to be heard by the audience, I did not give them a second microphone wired to my camera, but rather just used a shotgun mic aimed at them and picking up what was coming through the house speakers.
Now that I'm in the editing phase, I'm noticing that the room echo sometimes makes it difficult to understand what the speaker is saying. I've been looking through various tech forums and have gotten some ideas, but can't figure out how to make AudioDirector do what I want. The main thing I'm looking for at this point (based on the advice of others) is a "center channel extractor."
Can anyone help me find that in AD3, or give me other advice on how I might reduce room echo from a speaker's voice (without making the result sound tinny)? Thanks in advance!
