Dan,

In the audio world, there is usually a large visual vocabulary used to
describe tone (timbre) and sound. I know that these words have no direct
lineage in music, but I always thought I knew what bright meant. What words
would you use to describe what others call bright. Can you be more specific
with other words? If so please share them!

Second is the "bright". I am confident that you know what this means,
but I am a beginner and need specificity. Sound character is not
bright or dark or blue or purple or banana. Those words do not
describe what it is you have in your inner head. They are buzz words
that people use because they don't have anything more descriptive.
