Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention are directed to enabling a user to modify the manner in which one or more settings specified by a predefined template for a particular sound source are applied, so as to provide the user with greater control over the settings which are applied to a track than conventional tools afford. Some embodiments are directed to automatically applying one or more settings for a track based at least in part upon an analysis of the spectral and/or dynamic content of the track, such as by automatically performing sound equalization by applying one or more digital filters to a track, defining the frequency range(s) in which one or more filter(s) are applied, applying dynamic range compression, defining the manner in which compression is applied in multiple sub-bands of the audible spectrum, and/or applying one or more other settings. Such settings may be designed to achieve any of numerous (e.g., artistic) goals, such as to bring to the forefront certain elements of the natural character of the sound in a track, or to enhance the track's overall balance and/or clarity.
