Podcasts are becoming more and more fashionable, audio programs whose origin is in the radio but which, as has happened with streaming video, now it is increasingly easier to listen to radio programs on demand. But this is not new, Podcasts have been with us for a long time, we already had Podcasts on iPods. Today we want to talk about Overcast, one of the most famous apps for listening to Podcasts, has been updated with a new VoiceBoost 2 and support for AirPlay 2.
The interesting thing is that this new Voice Boost 2 manages to improve the audio of the Podcast attacking the compression of I and improving its equalization, something very interesting especially considering that muchos podcasters they upload audios with a rather debatable quality, or the servers that are used in many occasions also distribute the audio with a fairly high compression. We also now have support for AirPlay 2, Apple's wireless streaming enhancements.
Voice Boost is a combination of dynamic compression and equalization that can make many programs easier to listen to and normalize the volume across all programs. […] Voice Boost 2 achieves the same goal as the original Voice Boost, but with much more sophisticated methods, leading to more consistent results and much better sound quality.
The best thing about all this is that Overcast is a free app, you have the possibility of activating a premium plan that allows us remove advertising from the app for 9,99 euros per year, but all other functionalities, including Voice Boost 2 and AirPlay 2 compatibility, can be used for free. If you are Podcast consumers, I recommend you try this Overcast update, there is a world of applications beyond Apple's native Podcast app.
