- Yeah, that should be really easy. The only question that I have about
- Tim's point is how are you going to scale the data. Will the ordinary
- multiplication do? I am pretty sure that our perception of the spectrum
- depends upon the overall volume of the sound, and thus the volume
- controls in hi-fi systems usually compensate certain frequencies when
- the volume is changed (I think).
