i dont have much experiance with making music, but from
listening i sometimes wonder if computer generated sounds
can imitate recorded sounds, or the other way around, if
you process a recorded sound enough, will it lose its acoustic
'richness' ( i dont know if my terms are correct ) and you wont 
be able to know it from a completely computer generated sound.
i think that usualy you can recognize which is which, even if
the "existing" sound source is heavily modifyed with DSP,
i think it still has a certain "body" to it, and computer generated
sounds more precise and clean to me. but then again, i'm usualy
only guessing when i'm listening to music.

by the way whats spectral extraction?

thanks alot for these!!! and for the DSP tools from later.
