I posted this a while back, but with my reinstall today I had to grab it again and thought I'd share it with the community once more.
Create an EQUALIZER for Ventrilo, this is the greatest function of all time for Vent, ever had someone who you could barely hear, and then had someone who was insanely loud? Tired of right clicking someones name > Miscellaneous > Special Effects > Add Volume? Now everyone will be the exact same volume! No matter how loud or quiet they are! Here's what you do.
While connected to a server, click Setup > Stay on the Voice tab > Click the SFX button (it's in the upper right). > Add a "Compressor" option to the "Current" side > Select it and choose Properties.
I'll list the changes of the next options below, so it's easy to view:
Gain - (This is the volume of EVERYONE that you will hear in vent, this depends on a lot of things, start at 6 and work your way up, it is sensitive.)
Attack - 10.00
Release - 500 or so.
Threshold - (-30) That's NEGATIVE 30.
Ratio - 100.0
Pre delay - 4.0
