Hi Neal, So, are you going to do a podcast on the features of this app?
How to avoid distortion, to use limiters, etc. Maybe the good folks at Sixth Mode could figure out how to do something similar? I would even pay to add that feature.

I have discovered that if you have a lot of lower frequencies in your voice, the sound seems to break up more on cell phones. To me, women's voices have often sounded better for this reason. However, they could certainly make it better in other apps. The only problem is that they have a lot of limiter compression built in to keep from people distorting the sound. I'm not sure some people would really figure out how to keep their audio from being distorted, But they could certainly give people the option. And, you're right, I don't know how they got this by Apple.

The unprocessed sounds so much better and an amazing microphone to be built into a device. The processing seems to just make it sound so inferior that you really wonder why they have to put in such processing to come up with a worse result. My guess is there is some reason that is not motivated by the end result of quality or the customer, but some other motivation. I'm surprised Apple has not banned this app. They may at some point. For some reason it at times takes them a while until they figure out that they really should have banned some app according to their priorities.
