Issue: I often wear headphones while participating in conference calls. I'd like to control the pan(balance) volume and tone of each participant. Granted a participant may be a group of folks in a conference room.
Reason: When more than one person talks at a time or when one person's mic is hotter than anyone else or maybe someone's toddler is vocalizing in the background. The idea is to have selective controls on each user to better hear the conversation.
Inspiration: Simple, I've been using an "Aviom A-16II Personal Mixer" in-ear monitor system on-stage for the past 10 years. It gives band members the ability to set a personal mix that best suits them. The main benefits is to pan (or set a participant to the left , center or right in their mix).
Thank you. Also, I tried to find existing topics on this post and others with no luck. If this needs to be posted somewhere else, my apologies.
 
Welcome to Android Forums, @medamo :)

I'm not sure that what you want is technically feasible, at least not with standard voice-based telecommunications. The issue is that your phone doesn't process each participant's audio separately; it's all a part of the same audio stream. That is, your phone has no clue who is talking at any given time, and no way to process each speaker individually.

It may be possible with a specifically-configured VoIP application of some kind, but each participant would need to be calling in via the same app for that to work.
