5.0 out of 5 stars Hear by Joesoft soon will be available as standard Mac software: God forbid, if its not!, November 7, 2008

By	Greg R. Doerr "papeiro" (Louisville, Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently downloaded Joe Soft's software, Hear. And. I have to tell you all, that after my "day job," I sit in front of my computer for hours, writing. Sure, I know, Hear "electronically" processes the music streaming down from the hard drive, what else do people expect in this age of digital, technology? We have to face it, analog technology, as beautifully warm as it is, is a thing, of the past, and, believe me, the fastest processors slowly are approximating the clarity and high warmth of analog, without the "sizzle" trailing behind the open sound. Anyway. Hear is an amazing product which (still nascent, experimenting) is one of the first to play with the sound of compressed or uncompressed, digitally magical sound. To cut pragmatically, things short, purchase it. You won't be unsatisfied. It is the only program available today which heightens the sound of any application streaming through your (now) poor sounding Mac. Just, buy it. I Promise you, you won't be sorry...especially after you learn how to unlock the sound potential it has inside, all the available settings you can muster to play with manually and soon arriving to "perfection" inside your ears becoming highly sensitive, to bad sound!

1.0 out of 5 stars Why Bother, September 15, 2008

By	L. Kelsey (Redondo Beach, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After installing "HEAR" on my iMAC with JBL speakers and trying the program for a few days, I uninstalled it. I couldn't hear any difference and the effects did not affect my computer. There was no change in any music played on the iMAC but there was a distracting echo added to the audio portions of any videos that I watched. I have been using computers since the Apple II back in 1979 and don't consider this program to be particularly user-friendly either. I do like the artwork on the box, however. I suggest that Joesoft keep their graphics artist but fire their software designer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hear is THE audio conrol panel that Macs are missing, November 23, 2009

By	J. Suchta "Reader" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I typically use PC's so I was disappointed that there was such little audio control built in to my MacBook unibody. After some serious searching, I came upon Hear. This is the ultimate audio control application for the Mac. It provides the only way I know of controlling levels when using the optical output on my MacBook. I had a little trouble with installation (it kept asking me to register), but a quick call to Prosoft customer support resolved my problems quickly. Michael, the Prosoft engineer who helped me, quickly identified the problem and offered a solution. It's a great piece of software that I'd pay for again.
