Settings

This article or section is a Stub. You can help the Resonite Wiki by expanding it.

The settings tab of the Dash Menu is used to configure Resonite's appearance and how it operates.

This settings page is dynamic and will register new settings when a component requests them (Ex: The Twitch Streaming Interface Setting).

Master volume	75%	Controls the volume of everything in Resonite
Sound effect volume	100%	Controls the volume of sound effects. These are typically sounds produced by items and avatars
Multimedia volume	100%	Controls the volume of multimedia assets. These are typically videos, audio files, audio streams and background music in worlds
Voice volume	100%	Controls the volume of other users in your session along with pre-recorded voice clips in some cases. Please remember you can adjust the volume of individual users in the Session tab.

Audio Accessibility

Setting	Usage
Whisper mode volume	Controls the volume of sounds outside of your whisper sphere when using whisper mode.
Voice message volume	Controls the volume of sounds while you are recording a voice message.

Input Filtering

Setting	Usage
Voice normalization	This feature will try to ensure that your voice input is brought to a uniform level. This helps make your volume the same as other users, regardless of your microphone settings. We strongly recommend to keep this setting on to ensure you can be heard well by other users.
Normalization threshold	Using this setting you can control the threshold when the incoming audio will become amplified. If your normal speech is too quiet and it's not getting amplified, lower this setting. If random quiet noises are being amplified, increase it.
Noise suppression (RNNoise)	This feature processes the incoming audio to filter out various undesirable noises. This can clean up audio from noisy microphones considerably, producing a cleaner voice. We strongly recommend keeping this setting on. However, it can also filter out certain noises that do not get identified as speech.
Noise gate threshold	Noise gate prevents background noises from being transmitted to other users. This setting indicates the maximum volume at which sounds will be filtered out. If too much noise is making it in, increase this setting, if your voice is not getting through, lower it.
Noise gate attack	This indicates how fast the noise gate responds to an incoming sound that is louder than the threshold volume. Larger values will result in a slower volume fade in, while smaller ones will make the volume ramp up quicker.
Noise gate hold	This controls how long it takes for the noise gate to begin to close after the microphone input volume falls below the threshold volume.
Noise gate release	This setting controls how fast the noise gate closes after the incoming audio has quieted again.

Voice Settings

Setting	Usage
Mute Persistence	Denotes what your microphone setting should be at startup
