Compress Your Waveform

Many World of Warcraft raiding guilds use Ventrilo (Vent) to allow raid members to communicate more easily. However, it may be frustrating to find a large variation in volume between others' voices. Fortunately, Vent has a function to alleviate that.

The Compressor module can be used for reducing the such. It works by changing the shape of the envelope, or outline, of the waveform. It can be activated by going to Setup | Voice | SFX and adding Compressor under Sound Effects. To be able to configure these settings without a recommended configuration, one needs to know some of the basics of sound synthesis, in particular the ADSR envelope.
