[LAU] Need some Ideas for a streaming helper ...

[Brandon Hale]

You can actually turn down the gate that discord has by default. It is 
under user settings (the little gear at the bottom left), and "Voice and 
Video". Under input sensitivity, you can turn off automatically 
determine input sensitivity and move the bar all of the way to the left. 
Let me know if you need any help with this.

You can use standalone applications linked together with jack, or even 
carla for mixing things together with compressors. Carla might be useful 
for you as you can save everything as a preset and reload when you are 
ready.

If you don't want to use carla, you could even load up Ardour and do 
everything in an Ardour project to give yourself even more controls and 
things to play with, but it might be too heavy for just using discord. 
Just route everything to the pulseaudio input sink.

I hope this helps and reach out to me if you need any more help,
