While I have tried to stay out of the comments here for a while, I would suggest not going post processing. While it might get the problem fixed for now, it isn't a good long term solution. I have experienced similar trouble with recordings from AGI. We have some recordings that where dead on sound wise, and others that ended up being so soft as to be useless. Would it be something people would like to be able to add filters to a line? Consider normalization as a filter. Monitor could then be moved to a filter as well. Echo cancel could be a filter. Set it up so multiple filters could be added and chained together. This could help those with echo chain a couple of filters together and see if that helps. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
