[PD] measurement of spectral richness

[Kevin McCoy]

Richness is subjective as far as I understand - you could do an
FFT-style frequency analysis, and there are ways to "enhance" sounds
and timbres like the mastering tools they use in studios - don't they
usually call these "sonic maximizers" or something?  Or exciters?

I would humbly suggest to do what sounds good to you!  This also
sounds like it could potentially go toward the "analog vs digital"
argument, which I don't really buy into - but maybe that's a whole
other quagmire.  Also, what is "natural"?

"By the late twentieth century, our time, a mythic time, we are all
chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism; in
short, we are cyborgs. Ths cyborg is our ontology; it gives us our
politics."
Donna Haraway, "A Cyborg Manifesto"

cheers!
