If you own or have access to a compressor and hopper gun, try at
30-40 psi.

If you want roller orange peel texture, mix paint and drywall
compound about 50/50, use 3/4 or longer nap roller. Be generous
on the wall, you need the roller hairs to pull the texture. Roll
several roller loads ahead of yourself, go back with a good wet
roller and go top to bottom pulling a uniform texture, watch for
heavy ridges left by the edge of the roller and blend them out
before they set.
