Rejected for "Room Echo" in a studio more treated than a whisper room.
My submission was rejected for "Room Echo." I fail to see how this is possible. My recording space has more acoustic treatment than most whisper rooms. 5 layer walls with internal rockwool insulation, and every single surface in the interior is covered in next acoustics soundtrax foam complete with dividers and corner bass traps. My microphone is a Shure SM7B renowned for its excellent noise rejection. Can someone please point me to a time stamp in my recording in which "echo" is audible? Also be it known that no post processing was used at all. Thank you.

Hi Luke,
I don't hear a big issue with room echo/acoustics but I do hear a loud hiss throughout. This is probably being caused by something in the recording chain, most likely the recording interface. The trouble with hiss is that it makes every edit point audible. I'd suggest trying to find the source of this hiss to get a cleaner recording.
Thank you for the feedback. I'll try rewiring everything and rerecording.
