Reducing reverb

Is is possible to reduce the amount of reverb in an original music file. As far as I can tell I can ADD reverb but I can’t remove any. The music and vocals just run together too much. I thought there might be a fix for this.

No.

One problem is there’s no “key.” You can write software that says, “See that fan noise over there? Memorize it and subtract those tones from the show.”

That’s Noise Reduction. Reverb/Echo is one performance occurring multiple times, bounced from walls and ceiling. The job is to remove the performance from itself.

That’s hard/impossible.

You still need those furniture moving blankets.
