Name that effect and then how to eliminate it

[Viewporter]

Hello - Here is a audio from a video I am editing that has an issue. First tell me what is the proper definition of the problem - reverb, echo... and then how to repair it using Audition. 

Is there a web page somewhere I can visit that has a number of troubling audio clips and next to each clip suggestions for how to correct? For example: Ambient Noise, mouse clicks, reverb... I would just click through the audio files to understand what issues sound like then prescription for how to correct in Audition.

Thanks.

This isn't an effect, it's an artifact - in this case delayed feedback over a communication link and as such, it can't be corrected. This is because it constitutes delayed distortion (of the worst kind) and with all distortion, there's no 'correct' version available to tell you when you've achieved an appropriate result.

In general, audio repair doesn't work by 'prescriptions' - you have to learn to recognise what you've got and then experiment with it to find out what will mitigate it best - and there are only a limited number of things you can do; it's not like they show it on CSI at all - that's simply unreal. Accoringly there is no website anywhere which can provide you with definitive 'cures' for unsatisfactory audio, because each situation is different.

On top of that, Audition is primarily an audio editor, not a specialist repair tool. If this is what you are primarily interested in, then iZotope's RX suite would be far more suitable, as that's what it specialises in - and even that can't cure everything, by any means; distortion, for instance, will never be able to be fixed.

Hello Steve,  a sincere thank you for your quick and informative response.  I believe you accurately identified the issue and possible avenues to resolve or mitigate.  The clip was from a conference call.  Only one of the connections was experiencing the issue.  Regards Andrew
