Ventrilo Tricks

Volume Normalization
This will normalize the volume of all other users to the same level, so you don't have to mess with manually adjusting their volume through the special effects screen, or ask them to adjust it on their end.

• 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 14)
• Attack = 0.01
• Release = Around 500
• Threshold = Around -30
• Ratio = 100
• Pre delay = 4.0

Multiple Ventrilo Windows

• Right click your Ventrilo desktop icon.
• Go into "Properties".
• Go into the "Shortcut" tab.
• In the "Target" box, add '-m' to the path.  For example: "C:\Program Files\Ventrilo\Ventrilo.exe" -m
• Click "OK".
