Hello,
I am in the process of editing an interview on Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2018.
For the shoot, I had 2 lavalier microphones and 2 cameras. I have everything synced up.
My issue is that even though they are the same microphones, I have an unpleasant echo when I play both audio tracks simultaneously. Ideally, I would need to cut the sound of the person who is not speaking, but:
- It's very time-consuming
- Sometimes both people speak at the same time.
Is there a solution to my problem?
Thank you

Hello, I hesitated to respond to you yesterday, but since no one is offering, I allow myself to exchange with you.
Editing is manual work, there’s no automatic action. If you have an audio correction module in your software, you have plenty of settings to reduce flaws, but that also takes time.
Did you film with 2 cameras and 2 lavalier mics, and was the sound recorded separately on a recorder or on the camcorders?
I have Studio 20 software, with the multicam option for interviews. I think the directional sound from the camcorder is sufficient, and using external lav mics complicates the editing. So I have a master camera in a wide shot and a mobile camera synced with the clap for sync, and I only use the sound from the master camera.

Please remember to mark your message as "resolved" if that’s the case.-
Hello, thank you for your response. I recorded the 2 audio tracks using two Sony microphones. These devices serve as both lapel mics and recorders at the same time.
Ultimately, I have progressed with my editing. I simply cut the sound from one mic or the other depending on who is speaking. The only issue is when both people speak at the same time :/

Thank you for the feedback. I only see your solution or try to play with Adobe's audio module, which must be as complex as mine, which is also in English.

Okay, thanks anyway!
It's not easy to record an interview other than through this solution. Or you would need lapel mics plugged into an interface, which is then connected to the camera. But that creates wires everywhere.
The small Sony mics (although they cost about €150 each) are really handy. But like all mics of this type, they pick up ambient sound all around them, so there's inevitably a bit of echo.
I don't know the Adobe audio module at all, so I will continue like this.
