Most of you know you can turn a users volume up and down individually, this gets a bit tedious at times, heres how to never have to do it again.
First thing you need to do is enable direct sound in the ventrilo settings, Under the voice tab you will see the Output device setting, tick the box that says use direct sound.
Now that you have done that click the SFX button. in the dialogue that opens you will see Compressor listed under the available section, highlight it and click add at this point andothe dialogue will open. there are 6 settings to mess around with.. they are
Gain 0 This can usually be left at 0, unless you're having difficulty hearing most of the people on the channel. Gain controls how much volume is sent to the compressor. Turning it up a little (10 or 15) may help, but turning it up a lot causes significant sound degradation.
A
ttack 0.01 Attack determines how quickly the effect is applied to the sound, in milliseconds, and can be turned down to the minimum of 0.01. The default is 10, which is also quite fast. The maximum of 500 creates an unpleasant half second delay before a loud incoming sound is adjusted.
Rele
ase 200 - 500 The length of time the compressor remains on after the sound has stopped is determined with the Release setting. The default of 200 milliseconds typically works, but some people turn this up to 500 or even 1000 (1 second)
.
Threshold -30 The level at or above which the compressor kicks in is the Threshold. -30 will make the quiet people a bit more audible, while still keeping the loud types from blasting you. This setting is measured in decibels, with 0 being very loud and -60 being very quiet.
Ratio 100 Ratio sets how much variation in volume remains after the compressor has done its job. Most people put this right up to 100 so there is as little variation in volume as possible. Although the default setting of 3 leaves some variation in, it also works.
Pre delay 4.0 This is a digital sound processor function that determines how far your system "looks ahead" for sounds that need adjustment, again in milliseconds. This is best left at the maximum of 4.
