Macworld's Hear 1.0.3 Coverage

  • Review: Hear 1.0 Hear enhances audio by letting you apply a range of effects via a paned interface. It is quite configurable through its 13 tabs, which have controls for modifying EQ, enhancing 3-D space, and applying limiting and compressor effects (for limiting volume peaks and generally smoothing out volumes).
