Improve the quality of sound

You can easily get frustrated by the quality of sound in any media, and often the audio controls are way too limited for you to change anything.Hear is a very complete application which will allow you to control all the different elements of the sound in your movies or music. The application comes in a sleek dark interface and you can navigate through every element via tabs.Hear includes the expected mixer and equalizer but you'll also find less common yet highly important elements like a limiter, maximizer, ambiance, 3D and FX.You can also adjust the resonance and intensity of your speakers. Most controls work via sliders, so it's just a case of testing out until your happy.

Top Recommended Alternative

Hear also comes with an impressive choice of presets, listed in categories like games, movies and TV and speech. The program is fairly easy to use however users might be scared off by all the elements too set.All in all though, it's just a case of testing until you're happy with the quality of sound. Hear is an excellent application which should drastically improve your audio quality in any media.

    It's great app which I use to recreate - as near as possible - the effect of listening to vinyl on mid-fi equipment (I don't use the presets, I spent an hour or two creating my own). ONE WORD OF WARNING: if you use audio capture software, turn Hear off first. Otherwise you will both record with it, then add it again on playback, which gives horrid distortion.

    A no-brainer and works. Great little app, linking every sound through its modules. I personally don't need all the bells and whistles, but the EQ is more than worth every cent.Like!

    I regret downloading it. This software ruined my audio system completely. I uninstalled it using clean my mac, but all the movies/music keep on having this weird echo and accent in the high/ high mid frequency. I restarted the computer but nothing changed, i have no idea how to fix this. I study digital audio so i have to work a lot with my computer/ mix music etc., and i can't do anything with it now. Don't use this software!

    Ruined the sound on my computer. I downloaded this program, it initially worked for a couple days then wanted me to upgrade, so I did. Once I upgraded, it stopped working and the sound on my computer was all messed up, useless now. I uninstalled it and my computer sound is still ruined. BEWARE!!!

    LION OS Update Awaits. While it is a technically driven equalizer, it also produces some of the most desired effects for specific music, movies, podcasts, TV shows, etc, that you can imagine.You can save customizations easily! Highly recommended, great deal for the low price for sure. Pros: A ton of options for a low price.CustomizationSave presetsUI is intuitive, friendly, cool to look at Cons: Needs Lion OS update asap!
