If you would like to make everyone sound the same level aka Normalization Here are some instructions that Faileas posted.
You can do this and make all the voices the same volume!!!!
Here's how:
- 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
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 any-
thing 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 occasional 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.

Good. I was afraid of getting cooties while using Iron Legion's Vent.
Hehehehe Jk, jk. Many thanks to Iron Legion for letting us hang out with them in their vent this last week. And thanks Foghladha for providing a new vent for the family and allies. That is most generous of you!!!

Just a note to let you know we now have a vent address that will be static from here on out. Even if we change hosts.
Server: voice.gaisciochnaanu.com
Port: 26105
Password: family
I will have this point to wherever our vent ends up so that we don't have to change anything in the future. The following information will still work until we switch ventrilo hosts:
Server IP: chi3.ugt-servers.com
Port: 26105
Password: family

I was wondering how to normalize sound when I do hop in everyone has very dainty voices, now i'll be able to crank you up to 11 and know if someone is yelling at me for attacking the wrong dude, or lady.
The floor you walk on is smooth, there is no ground there, Magic begins with blood. Outside there are trees with Concrete under their roots, But I have passed the tombs of Kings, I have scoured the seas for miles, my fingertips opening accepting my time. Tomorrow, I will walk the streets and steal myself from the familiar, your eyes will not settle, a hunger. You'd be happier in your grave.. When we meet, share stories you stretch me. For me I'm your sorrow calling in your dreams, for me I'm your shadow howling in the streets.

I checked into that. It is a flash based application. Unfortuneately, when you do a search for it, many warez sites also pop up. I've not been able to determine without a shadow of a doubt that the application is 100% safe & secure. That doesn't mean it isn't, just that I couldn't recommend it for download and use without some small portion of my mind wondering if golems are playing with my interwebz.

This is some good stuff. Much better than the manual way I was setting up the volume for everybody 1 at a time. Now I am probably going to have to reset most of you I have already set.

Bumping the bump, and adding my endorsement. I changed these settings in my vent right before GW2 BSE3, and wow - what a difference. My biggest issue was removing all the "specials" on folks I'd turned up or down.
Thumbs up!
