Teamspeak or Ventrilo: Which do you prefer?

[Amit]

I prefer Vent, TS is horrible. Bad quality, and when a bunch of people talk at once it is fucking useless. At least Vent you can understand a bunch of people talking at once, TS is just a mind fuck. And Limited, you can set a name and have like a million servers under that profile, and you can easily clone it to change your name, that's not a million things, that's like two...

Whats the 8 client thing?

First of all, there should never be "a bunch" of people talking all at one time. If you're in a channel listening, you should listen to one person speak at a time, otherwise, some people will only pick up on something one person said, while other people will only pick up what another person said. It's too inconsistent.

TS has good quality if you know how to select a good codec. The default one is fine, anyways.

lol @ the guys saying ts quality is bad.

Ventrilo would only allow 8 people to be connected to the server at once. So if you had a 16 person server only half of those people could join the chat.

Teamspeak because that was the first one I used, and I'm familiar with it.

What are you talking about?

As in only 8 people could transmit/receive at the same time?

Also, you could look into mumble. My bro seems to think that's a good alternative.

Yes, as in only 8 slots in the server, so only 8 people can be in the same server at the same time.

Because of this I'm looking at Teamspeak more. I've used it before and I haven't had problems with it - if you're talking about quality then you need to fix your codecs, the quality is fine, that's not what I'm asking about.

[Roostervier]

I'm pretty sure I've seen more than 8 people in a vent server at a time...

[Syuusuke]

Those servers are most likely licensed...

[Bodzilla]

This.

how used to realistically expect this to be?

8 people would be fine for everything but special occasions and game nights.

I've been hosting a TS server for over a year now...

You can register yourself with the server, once you do you can create your own channels (they disappear once you leave and are empty though). If you want to test the quality of TeamSpeak, enter the "Crysis", "Supreme Commander", or "Instant Action" channels because the other channels are using reduced quality codecs. The channels I listed are using the highest quality codec available to TeamSpeak to my knowledge (Speex 25.9), so use those.

My server is also running TS2PerlMod (see the message you get when you join).
