-That's where the trouble starts! Applying data to another set
 of data, results in more data and more trouble!
 The way how to apply the data is a matter of judgement.
 That's something people have to educate themselves in.

-About 'analysis - resynthesis': there's is a school of composers,
 the so-called 'spectralists', who are very thorough in this
 approach. The idea is that one analyzes a sound, usually that
 of an acoustic instrument (mind you, these are 'decent composers'),
 and re-orchestrate this again with other instruments.
 In general, one can say that the theory is much more exciting
 than the result....
