This is a tough problem. It's not room noise that you're trying to get rid of, it's room reverberation. EQ isn't going to help here. Neural networks trained to remove noise - like Waves Clarity - won't, because reverberation sounds like vocals. Neural networks trained to isolate vocals - like Spleeter - also hear the reverb as part of the vocal. I know, because I tried them both.  You need to use de-reverberation software to fix this kind of problem, something like this: https://acondigital.com/products/deverberate/No matter what program you use, it'll be adding some artifacts the the audio. So there's a balancing act between reducing reverb and losing audio quality. These programs can be pretty pricey, but are often available for downloading as time-limited demos, so I suggest that's the best option.

If you can get it re recorded that would be WAY easier.

Is it possible your friend added the reverberation after the recording and could send a dry version? People often do because it "sounds better", but then it can hard to handle in the mix, particularly if the reverb characteristics are different between vocal and the instrumentation.
Another name for the reverberation removal process is deconvolution, which may be a search help.
If it really is room reverb, blankets hung across the room and/or around the singer+mic can help.

Joanne, maybe this new feature from Adobe can help?

Thanks guys. The adobe tool didn’t work… cut off the end of long syllables and robotic artefacts. Just did a bit of eq. This is the end result Crazy (no capo) by Karen Wilmot play along with scrolling guitar chords and lyrics https://youtu.be/_LWEZy_GM_M

You can check out an example of dereverberation software here: http://www.alango.com/technologies-dereverberation.phpIf you listen to the demo, you can hear a ton of artifacts. Since reverberation is primarily a delayed version of the original signal, the program has to figure out what the signal lag is, and then reconstruct the signal with the lagged signal removed. In addition to the Acorn Digital dereverberate program I mentioned, there's also Zynaptiq's Unveil. It's an older plugin, but it's also available as a time-limited demo. (I'd put in a link, but the Zynaptiq site isn't connecting at the moment). I also see proximity:EQ⁺ is listed as able to tame "natural reverb", and is available for a free 30 day trial. I'm sure they specify "natural reverb" because one of the tricks of machine-based reverb is to modulate some portion of the signal to make it richer. Of course, that just makes the dereverberation problem even harder to solve.

I didn't listen to the file because if it's printed, it's dang near impossible to get rid of noise and FX without leaving obvious artifacts in it's wake.
The best option is to record it again under better circumstances.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
