to normalize everyone's voice on Vent:

  • 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. (I use 15)
    Attack = 0.01
    Release = Around 500
    Threshold = Around -30
    Ratio = 100
    Pre delay = 4.0
  • Done!
  • Gain 0
    This can usually be left at 0, unless you're having difficulty hearingmost of the people on the channel. Gain controls how much volume issent to the compressor. Turning it up a little (10 or 15) may help, butturning it up a lot causes significant sound degradation.

  • Attack 0.01
    Attack determines how quickly the effect is applied to the sound, inmilliseconds, and can be turned down to the minimum of 0.01. Thedefault is 10, which is also quite fast. The maximum of 500 creates anunpleasant half second delay before a loud incoming sound is adjusted.

  • Release 200 - 500
    The length of time the compressor remains on after the sound hasstopped is determined with the Release setting. The default of 200milliseconds typically works, but some people turn this up to 500 oreven 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 keepingthe 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 compressorhas done its job. Most people put this right up to 100 so there is aslittle variation in volume as possible. Although the default setting of3 leaves some variation in, it also works.

  • Pre delay 4.0
    This is a digital sound processor function that determines how far yoursystem "looks ahead" for sounds that need adjustment, again inmilliseconds. This is best left at the maximum of 4.
