I have recorded these vocals and they have an echo to them. Is there any way to remove the echo effect from vocals?
 
Depending on how long the delay effect is, a gate might help....

For very short delays, you're SOL........
 
Other than not recording it in the first place, noooo...
 
Uhh . . . maybe don't record on a kareoke machine?
I know, just sing REALLY LOUD onto a new track and nobody will hear the echo on the first one.
No wait I know: junk it and start over. Yeah that's it!
 
If it's in a DAW just draw an envelope around the desired vocals cutting the echo tails.

Sure - same result as a gate - but that still won't work on very short delays...

And what about echo tails from a prior phrase that blend into the next vocal phrase...

Best-off re-cutting the track, or living with the delay.........!
 
If you still have THE EXACT SETTINGS of your delay and you did not use any feedback (what I do very often), then you might have another solution to work for you.

use your track and send it through the identical delay.
record the delay output only
invert the phase
add to original track until echo vanishes the best
gate in addition to remove the tails

In theory, this should work, but I'ver never tried :D

Must've been a huge room for there to be echo and not reverb...

(sound travels roughly 1 foot per millisecond, so for there to be a distinct echo, the room would have had to have been > 32ft!)
