Clap Hands for Cleaner Sound

<<<Here's the before and after of my first test: >>>

I need to generate a "clean" echo track. Getting a computer to take out echo that a computer put in may not tell us as much as is needed.

@Koz, Have you got, or could you rustle up a strongly reverby track with real reverb that I could try Postfish Deverberation on?

If you have a stereo recording you can remove the echo/reverb by centre pan isolation (Kn0ck0ut)

The voice is common to both channels but typically the echoes reach the different channels at different times so are removed by centre pan isolation, (a.k.a. centre pan extraction).

That's a tough one - too much background noise.
I'm still working out what some of the settings do (there's no instructions for Postfish) so Postfish is probably capable of better even with as tough a sample as this.

The airport "after" Postfish is much better than my attempt with Kn0ck0ut.
Listening made me want to try out Postfish, only to find it's Linux only
