[Guide] Equalize everyone on Ventrillo

[Eski]

Please understand that I did not create this guide, I merely re-wrote it.

I brought this to these forums becuase it is very helpful.

Please dont flame me and say "You didnt write this! this is a copy+Paste from the warcraft realms!"

This is infact from the warcraft realms.

What this will do is equalize everyone on vent. Which means everyone will be the same volume no matter how soft/loud they speak. This is very handy for those people that are hyperactive and like to scream on vent randomly, or the very quiet people that you cant ever hear even if their sound is maxed out.


First off here is discriptions of the settings that we'll be using:

Gain

How much volume you feed into the compressor. Not really relevant unless everyone is too quiet, then you can turn this up a little; turning it up too much will sound EXTREMELY *%*%ty.

Attack
How fast volume change will happen. example: setting this to 500 means that anything coming in will only be dropped in volume after a half a second. for vent this should
be set as low as possible.

Release
How fast the compressor stops changing things. not really that relevant with vent, setting it around 500 is good for voice material.

Threshold
This sets the point where we actually start changing what�s coming in. Whereas 0 is the absolute loudest you can have for an input, -60 is super quiet. Average users will probably come in somewhere around -25 to -15, with the occaisional few being really quiet, which is why I have this set so low.

Ratio
How much any sound below the set threshold gets compressed and/or modified in the volume department.
If you still want to hear SOME volume variation then set this lower (2-4)... the higher you set it the closer in volume everyone will be.

Pre delay
Mostly just deals with processing; with computer and digital processors they can look ahead a few milliseconds to see what needs to be dropped in volume or changed before it actually comes through the speakers. Highest is ideal.

Directions:

1. Log onto Ventrillo
2. Click Setup on the right hand side of Ventrillo
3. Enable Direct sound
4. Select the SFX Button
5. Select Compressor and click Add.
   
6. Under Compressor Properties use the following settings:

• Gain = Adjust for how loud you want people to be.
• Attack = 0.01
• Release = Around 500
• Threshold = Around -30
• Ratio = 100
• Pre delay = 4.0

I hope this helps anyone.

Enjoy.
