Schmitz Global Delight has released version 1.3 of its [1]Boom 2 volume booster and equalizer app with three new in-app effects. The Spatial effect places you at the center of your audio for a more realistic sound, Pitch enables you to take the audio pitch a note higher or lower (great for karaoke), and Night Mode helps keep audio at an even level (such as when watching movies that swing between loud explosions and quiet exposition). The update also brings support for VoiceOver and adds a Traditional Chinese localization. As of this writing, version 1.3 hasn't made it to the Mac App Store yet, but it has been submitted for review.
