For those of you who want to normalize ventrilo, it makes it so everyone is about the same volume for you, so you can disregard inbound/outbound stuff.

- Go to Setup

- Enable Direct Sound

- Select the SFX Button

- Select Compressor and click Add.

- Under Compressor Properties use the following settings

- Gain = Adjust for how loud you want people to be. Mine is set at 12.

- Attack = 0.01

- Release = Around 500

- Threshold = Around -30

- Ratio = 100

- Pre delay = 4.0

Might be good to sticky this or add it to a sticky for future members.

Sadly not yet supported for Mac users (supposedly coming someday). But if you're on Windows, I highly recommend following the above advice.

OMG... I love you... this is by far the #1 reason I HATE using vent.. half the ppl are whisper quiet so I turn it up and then the other half rattle the windows with their sonic booms

EDIT: Zu you are adorable

Yeah, and if for some reason you have to download vent again you have to adjust those settings all over again. *headdesk*

QFT!

MAC users cannot do normalization this way. I use a mac and it was frustrating until I figure out I could set up special effects to change the volume of each person individually (and it saves between uses).

To set up a special effect for a person: Right click on the user's name, select miscellaneous, then Special effects. This gives you a slide bar where the volume is set at 100% Move it above 100 for higher volume, below to dial it down a bit.

This will get you a perk from your shy susans and a rest from your chatty cathys.
