WB:  In my never-ending, hopeless struggle to conquer audio software, I
came up against these terms: <cepstrum> (< spectrum), <quefrency> (<
frequency), <liftering> (<filtering). Has you guys got a handle on this
stuff yet? Looks like semi-palindromic neologism. As if Mr Scott had a
transporter malfunction and the words came out half-bassackwards. Poor
creatures. *Half-bassackwardism?
