Unable to Identify Reverb
Hello Bunny Studio team and community. I was recently rejected for "Room echo" and "Hiss/White noise". (Project ID 53C0890BECCBB5B9D014) I've been able to identify the hiss problem, likely coming from my budget interface/preamp- which I've already got plans to upgrade in the next month or so. However, I was really disappointed to find out that reverb was detected in my recording. I'm using a PVC-frame booth with "Producer's Choice" acoustic blankets from Vocalboothtogo.com. Any advice on what I might try in order to eliminate the echo?
Also, I'm struggling to even identify the reverb in my files. Any good exercises to better train my ears for this, or ways to diagnose the reverb in the waveform/spectral? I use Adobe Audition.

Hiro,
Thanks so much for your feedback. I have made some adjustments to my recording booth by hanging some foam panels. I also managed to troubleshoot the "hiss" problem from my interface. (Had to download a driver from Focusrite's website).
Please tell me what you think of this sample.

Hiro,
I'm afraid I'm not hearing the hiss/white noise that you are. Looking at my DAW, the noise floor at least seems fairly quiet to me (about -70db). I also have no idea what could be the cause... possible that it's coming from the preamp? (2nd gen Focusrite Scarlett Solo)
My gain is at about 12 o'clock, no nearby appliances that I can think of, and my PC is fanless/passive cooling with no moving parts, so it's totally silent. Here is a sample of just my "room tone" in case that might help to diagnose the problem (I haven't touched the gain since the last sample I sent). Thanks again for your help.

Thanks so much for all your help! I'll be sure to edit out any pauses, as you said.
Hello Hiro,
I just wanted to reach out and see if you know when I might be able to expect the invitation to re-apply. I don't mean to be a pest, just curious since it's been almost a week and the application page still tells me "Get ready for the next step..."
Is there something I still need to do to get the invitation?
Thanks,
Scott
