How to set everyone to the same volume

Vent Normalization makes everyones voice the exact same volume. Inessence, you won't blow your ears out or have difficulty hearing people.

Here's how:
1.Go to Setup
2.Enable Direct Sound
3.Select the SFX Button
4.Select Compressor and click Add.
5.Under Compressor Properties use the following settings

Code: [Select]

Gain = Adjust for how loud you want people to be. (I use 12)
Attack = 0.01
Release = Around 500
Threshold = Around -30
Ratio = 100
Pre delay = 4.0

In the end, your Compressor Properties window should look like this:[/b][/COLOR]

Dramber let some of us in on this last night and it seemed to work GREAT! Thanks Dramber! It was so frustrating trying to adjust everyone on vent so that I could hear them without being deafened.

Bump for great justice!

I tried compression before but I didn't have the settings right or something. This works though, great tip!

You can right-click on any user and set effects for them, but you have to have "Enable Directsound" checked in the Setup window.

Here's a tip for running Vent on two computers in the same room without headphones:

Mute each other. Right-click on the user and you'll find somewhere in the menu to mute that person. I think it's under the "User" menu. Do that and you won't hear yourself over the other person's speakers. Woohoo!

bump!

Why am I bumping this when it's already stickied?

I blame the virus!

I've found an overlay program that lets you have a transparent overlay of Vent in WoW.  I'm testing it on a WinXP machine and it seems to be working nicely with minimal memory usage.  I've scanned the files for viruses and didn't find any.

Your mileage may vary on this... but its just what I've been looking for.  I don't know everyone's voice yet. ~sheepish~

I am the only important voice!  *nods*

I have a similar problem, so if it seems to be working for you, I will have to try it out to.
