Claim 14:
15. A method to enhance characteristics of media during pre-processing the media prior to distribution signal, the method comprising:
determining a difference based on first and second frequency components of the audio signal associated with the media, the first and second frequency components indicative of energy levels of the audio signal associated with respective frequency values at a given time of the audio signal;
determining, based on the difference, to perform, by executing an instruction with one or more processors, at least one of (A) boosting the first frequency component of the audio signal at the given time or (B) attenuating the second frequency component of the audio signal at the given time; and
generating an enhanced audio signal by performing, by executing an instruction with the one or more processors, the determined one of (A) the boosting the first frequency component of the audio signal at the given time in the audio signal or (B) the attenuating the second frequency component of the audio signal at the given time in the audio signal.
