[Tig] re: color names: Musical vocabulary references

[Steve Hullfish]

My uncle wrote a fairly well known microtonal suite for clarinet. I  
find microtonal music to be absolutely unlistenable though. That's  
probably a cultural bias though.

If you've ever been in a music mix with a good engineer and producer,  
you could swear that you're in a grading session. "I think we need  
some high end right in here. It's a little muddy. And then right  
there it sounds a little thin. Can we add some low end?"

It's like punching up highlights and crushing blacks. "Punching up"  
is certainly another phrase you'd hear in both places. "Making things  
pop." The mixing analogy is very close.
