I love the way you lay out your arguments. Data, testing, proof, and facts. It's upsetting to me that it won't change some people's minds, but that's just where we are as humans. Thanks for putting in so much effort. You're doing awesome work. Keep it up please!
It's not that it won't change people's minds it's just not explaining why people think it's actually cheating because you can crank the sound up and won't blow your ear drums so being able to hear the quiet stuff easier. Thats why people dislike it I just feel like everyone should just use it because of just saving everyone's hearing then everyone's also on the same playing field I'm all for it as I'm pretty much deaf already
@@David-mg5jx /vomit. Facts are things that are indisputable. Lol. If you need more definition, I'm not your guy. Lol. Sound compression aint cheating.
I've got my equalizer & compressor set to "bush camper." It will pick up other things but especially the air passing through an empty bush as opposed to a camper bush.
Thanks for cheats man, just starting playing and have never got a pmc kill, as soon as i used ur cheats i got 8 pmc kills in customs (could hear them thro walls) and then went to labs and got 4 more pmc

Your analogy of audio vs visuals explaining how people view compression as an alien was insanely funny Also, a general rule of thumb for tarkov with the best outcome would be: untill Nikita expressively states something is off limits, it is fair ground
I remember reading that this shit existed like so long ago and I really wanted to set it up so I didn't blow my fucked up ear drums out playing this game. Thank you, Peggy for making this guide. This makes my life so much easier. I wish they did this shit in game, because the in-game headsets like the Comtacs DO do this so that you can still hear other people talk when you go shooting without blowing an ear drum out. Seriously though, thank you.
Oh boy that blows my mind people could say that audio compression of all things, would be considered cheating. But most people don’t know anything about digital audio or analog audio in general. So I guess it’s not too surprising. But people will say any sentence under the sun if it means they are in control lol. Great video Onepeg.
Youre thinking more along the lines of people saying audio compression is hacking which its obviously not. Audio compression does however give you a massive advantage over people who just have default audio as you can hear their movements much further than they can hear you. For a game like tarkov, where audio is so important, it does give a very unfair advantage so people saying its cheating arent completely wrong. (i use audio comp just fyi)
@@Cathal-zb4lu Not necessarily true. Lots of people play games at extremely loud volumes for that "competitive edge". The only advantage compression gives is not going deaf.
loved all the arguments as to why compression is cheating and we should be facing capital punishment for completely reverse engineering the entire game. hacking into the mainframe and back tracking all the players IP so we can tap into their microphones and listen to their footsteps around their home.
Just to spite everyone claiming using audio compression as to be cheating, I'm NOW going to use a compressor when playing Tarkov, once again great vid Onepeg
I tried this out today it’s great. actually more of a public health awareness issue like you said. and I thank you very much for this. I was in the military and already have some hearing damage but I was not paying attention to further damage. Thank you sincerely!

thank you for the information, i got a tinnitus on both ears 5years now (26years old) and i really felt that my tinnitus was influenced by the loudness of the game, 3minutes reserve alarm or shooting a weapon without headset on really hurted my ears.
Never heard of audio compression until it was raining in raid and told my buddy wish there was a way to limit the highs so I’m not going deaf he showed me he compression software more salty that I didn’t know about it than that he was using it.
Bsg hasn’t explicitly said discord or nvidia is ok but they use it openly so it’s the same as them endorsing is to a point, therefore bsg allowed, same thing could be used against them if they were using some website or app that isn’t good for reputation, they don’t use any game altering settings from other partys so that’s the cheating part, if you have to download something else that’s not accessible from in game settings, therefore not even for everyone and easier
Also extreme example of whats possible can be found here. Raw gameplay in offline mode, tweaking mid video. You might be interested: ua-cam.com/video/3Q-7-kVVzc4/v-deo.html
I feel like talking so long about the cheating thing is almost like feeding the trolls. These are the same people who say human eyes can't see more than 25fps.
i use the roughrider plugin for equalizer APO, it basically prevents sound from going past a certain level and my ears love it. i used to get jumpscared by gunshots even off in the distance. the baseline sound isnt much louder than before because if it was i would go deaf. if anyone says its cheating they have 2 digit IQ
I spend alot of time producing beats so my hearing is already kind of f'ed, I had just downloaded soundlock a few days before you started talking about it cause I saw something on the subreddit. Highly recommended. Anyone who says this is cheating is a straight up troll
Holy shit, just tried the windows 10 one since Nahimic doesn't work for me and I love how quiet the gun fire is now. The gun fire before especially with the gssh would actually kinda hurt. Especially when crossing the metal boat on scav island on shoreline.
when I built my PC I bought Razer Blackshark headset and it came with reazer synapse and Razer Surround Pro Razer Surround Pro was boosting my in game audio to have a better surround sound and I was actually hearing better when in game, all the footsteps, all the far away shootings and sound, everything
Compression only really makes the audio louder, like you say across the board, however it affects the lower frequencies more due to the nature of human hearing. We are worse at detecting lower frequencies than mid range frequencies. Compression helps with hearing footsteps for example , since it just makes it louder, but it wont help with directional information. I don't think compression really is cheating any more than adjusting your screen settings would be. If you wanted to cheat by manipulating the audio, you would have to go further than using a compressor.
Excellent video. Love the explanation, tone and tutorial. Downloaded soundlock, gonna give it a try. I have a serious problem with loud, sudden sounds making me jump. I love Tarkov, but the fear of getting jump scares all the time is making me play less and less. This compression-thing might just cure me losing my shit everytime I get shot at.
@@trippie_fabio3181 I have clocked in about 1300 hours in game. This is not going away. I'm getting it in other games I have played for years as well. Might be medication or stress or whatever. It's getting worse, but making the shooting a bit less loud helps a bit. I still jump like an ass just from people sitting behind corners, but, no sound app can help me there :P
Yeah, I'm the same way. I don't get "jump scared" as much as I used to, and it's kinda comical when I see this happen to big name streamers or long time players. But reality is, I play with the volume a lot lower than what I probably should, just for this very reason. It's that loud THUNK whenever you get randomly headshot that is just loud af. And in Tarkov, this is going to happen. A lot. I just want to turn down the max level loud sudden noises. Is that basically what soundlock does? I don't care about rain, quite steps, or random gunfire. It's that damn sudden thunk or the crack of a mosin nearby that is just irritating.
discord and. msi aftrburner do not modify the game files to make the game easier... your sound compression program does change the sound files. tarkov has allowed nvidia control pannel stuff and graphics buffering stuff.. getting a program to boost foosteps is literally an unfair advantage and an auxiliary program. whats hard to understand here??
I'm actually just using earplugs, with my normal volume level in-game (max). Something I'm used to at work is lots of noise. I've been performing pretty well, been trying out two different sets so far. I thought it might have hindered my gameplay, but it actually hasn't.
I personally feel the visual analogy would have been closer to reducing the saturation or the something equivalent to reducing the range of visible ligh. The increasing brightness would not convey the aspect of "compressing higher volumes" as it sounds like the brightness analogy it wouldn't be too different from just blasting the sound.
@@JSlizzo you are right, the audio compression software is free and more buttons on a mouse costs money. So audio compression is fair while a 3+ buttoned mouse is not
Should i be using both the Loudness Equalization checkbox in windows 10 together with Sound Lock. Or do I not need sound lock at all if i have already aplied the checkbox in my windows settings?
i feel like the people who say that audio compression is cheating are the same people who said that post-fx is cheating too. I'm sorry if I don't want to aggravate my tinnitus any further by limiting how loud gunshots are in the games. /s
As part of the ToS, BSG should also publish a list of allowed monitors. Surely someone on a 32" ultra wide would have a large advantage over someone on a 19" CRT. :p
Very interesting that some people would think an organization most publish guidance on all the things that are NOT cheating in order to clarify bannable offenses. The list of things that ARE cheating is probably a shorter list. Ipso facto, if audio compression is not listed as a bannable offense then it is allowed.
Thanks for the vid. I was honestly was expecting more in-depth compressors using like Equalizer APO and VST plug-ins. Do you think these on/off style compressors really offer enough customization to meet the needs of everyone’s ears? Honest question.
It's funny tho what do people think the in game headseets do??? pretty much compress sound in different ways that's why different headsets sound differently and do different things so technically someone in game using a better pair of headphones would have an advantage over someone who uses a crappy pair or none at all
compression isn't cheating, it's protecting your damn ears in a game where if you don't have your audio cranked up to unhealthy levels you're at a disadvantage. I'm fairly new but this has been my observation so far as an audio engineer. I've been using an elysia alpha compressor on it's negative settings in tarkov and it's been a life saver.
the way my headphones work and my eq i cant set it up very well. if i try changing anything the game sounds horrible and i cant hear footsteps and just get blaster by gun fire. despite this really good video
I was watching veritases stream yesterday and he was saying how u would make a video on this lol, he just kept going on about how u dont need a compressor and that u need a limiter. Watched his stream for about an hour, he complained for about 57 mins the other 3 mins was him not talking
but he is right isnt he? a limiter would do the exact same thing the compression does (in regard to loud sounds) but would not change anything on the quiet sound, or am i mistaken here?
Lets talk about tarkov sound in general, I cant hear if someone is above or below me. My friends knows and have to give me info about it, and it makes it impossible to play solo. I have a G PRO X WIRED headset with 7.1 surround DTS:X V.2. Should I have DTS:X disabled or 7.1 disabled, or even both disabled. I've heard people talk about surround sound not being supported and it just makes the game audio a mess, but then some say there is support with steam audio. Pls help, I cant stand this game sometimes, even putting hours into thing like this never seems to get the problem solved!
I loaded into a raid once and there was no ambient sound. No wind or rain. Jus bushes and footsteps. When people think of compression they think that is what's happening.
There is definitely going to be someone thats going to be salty about being proven wrong and still is going to try to argue their point until they are "Right"
Dude, forget about audio banana or hardware compressors, get Equalizer APO along with a VST plugin compressor(Klanghelm is the best, has a free version called MJUC Jr.), and that's it, you add the compressor to the Equalizer APO configuration.
7.1 headsets have sound suppression software that increases the volume substantially. All it does is make EVERYTHING louder. My razor kraken has it. I use the THX version of the software.
It's not cheating, however, if BSG wants to prohibit them, let them add such software to blacklist for Battle eye. It gives the advantage, but for some sound is not important at all, they run Altyns all day. For me, I rather get myself used to default, for consistency and pure comfort. It works very well as well, so why bother! When it comes to sounds compression, I have a problem with Tagilla's mask being muffled same way like Altyn, while it has an opening at the back :D
Had never even thought about using compression. now. I feel like this could improve the game especially since its so customizable, for comfort and hearing protection. thanks for the info man
Thanks for vid! Used SoundLock to save my ears from loud gunshots without messing with any other sounds (well, from my understanding) Also, can I ask, what earcups you use with your ATH?
Depends on your budget. $150-250 audio technica M50x or beyerdynamic dt990. If you wanna go spendy, look at 64Audio and use “Onepeg” with the capital O and you’ll get 10% off
Me and buddies used a compressor in Tarkov for the first time last night and holy smokes is it broken…you can hear people from 50m away like they are 10m away…hope the ad revenue was worth people not wanting to move around as much moving forward lol

Honestly as long as people can't hear footsteps while nit using in game headphones I'm cool with it, and from what you show it's all good 👌
the way my headphones work and my eq i cant set it up very well. if i try changing anything the game sounds horrible and i cant hear footsteps and just get blaster by gun fire. despite this really good video
Thank you for this video, My ears thank you sir!
I was watching veritases stream yesterday and he was saying how u would make a video on this lol, he just kept going on about how u dont need a compressor and that u need a limiter. Watched his stream for about an hour, he complained for about 57 mins the other 3 mins was him not talking
but he is right isnt he? a limiter would do the exact same thing the compression does (in regard to loud sounds) but would not change anything on the quiet sound, or am i mistaken here?
limiters are compressors without turning up the volume. If you turn up the volume, you're doing the other half of the compression.
@@Onepeg ah kk thank you
Thank you fore explaining this. It was helpful and I learned something.
Lets talk about tarkov sound in general, I cant hear if someone is above or below me. My friends knows and have to give me info about it, and it makes it impossible to play solo. I have a G PRO X WIRED headset with 7.1 surround DTS:X V.2. Should I have DTS:X disabled or 7.1 disabled, or even both disabled. I've heard people talk about surround sound not being supported and it just makes the game audio a mess, but then some say there is support with steam audio. Pls help, I cant stand this game sometimes, even putting hours into thing like this never seems to get the problem solved!
Great video.
Is the compression in windows sound control sufficient? Or should i use some of the suggested software?
That ENDING THO 🙌
Guy at BSG is like, "Write this down and add it all, except the sound compression."
I loaded into a raid once and there was no ambient sound. No wind or rain. Jus bushes and footsteps. When people think of compression they think that is what's happening.
also your pink soldier argument is a completely bad faith argument.
my favourite kind of peg
It's funny how I was getting worried about my hearing because I kept turning Tarkov up for an advantage and this comes out.
There is definitely going to be someone thats going to be salty about being proven wrong and still is going to try to argue their point until they are "Right"
Why do I have to sit through 13 minutes of monologue before the tutorial

Dude, forget about audio banana or hardware compressors, get Equalizer APO along with a VST plugin compressor(Klanghelm is the best, has a free version called MJUC Jr.), and that's it, you add the compressor to the Equalizer APO configuration.
cant actually believe it took 15 min to get to the subject of the title. crazy
7.1 headsets have sound suppression software that increases the volume substantially. All it does is make EVERYTHING louder. My razor kraken has it. I use the THX version of the software.
To say it simply audio compression is the PostFX of audio
It's not cheating, however, if BSG wants to prohibit them, let them add such software to blacklist for Battle eye. It gives the advantage, but for some sound is not important at all, they run Altyns all day. For me, I rather get myself used to default, for consistency and pure comfort. It works very well as well, so why bother!
When it comes to sounds compression, I have a problem with Tagilla's mask being muffled same way like Altyn, while it has an opening at the back :D
on PUBG times tons of people had % hearloss for turning the volume instead of compressing
Everytime I think about jumping back I to eft I watch one of these videos and like na Im good, bud👍😂🤣😂
Thank you for showing us plebs some real knowledge
Had never even thought about using compression. now. I feel like this could improve the game especially since its so customizable, for comfort and hearing protection. thanks for the info man
Are these in order of worst to best? Windows, Soft Lock, Nihimic? Do we run all three at the same time (lol)?
Hears you're like and comment just for the title classic
Saying compression is cheating is like saying using a map that shows where loots spawn and pmc spawns are is cheating
Thanks for vid! Used SoundLock to save my ears from loud gunshots without messing with any other sounds (well, from my understanding)
Also, can I ask, what earcups you use with your ATH?
@Onepeg this is great. Are you able to give feedback on any "good" headphones you could recommend? Trying to buy one right now...
Depends on your budget. $150-250 audio technica M50x or beyerdynamic dt990. If you wanna go spendy, look at 64Audio and use “Onepeg” with the capital O and you’ll get 10% off
Me and buddies used a compressor in Tarkov for the first time last night and holy smokes is it broken…you can hear people from 50m away like they are 10m away…hope the ad revenue was worth people not wanting to move around as much moving forward lol
Leveling the playing field one cheat at a time
@@Onepeg I always wondered how dudes could stand wearing Altyns…now I know lol
Im a bit of an idiot when it comes to audio. What is the purpose of compression? Loud noises are lessened but soft noises are increased?
