See the reply by Michael Noble then.
  IIUC you want an analysis tool, that does part of the
work an audio
 engineer does. IIUC you think an audio engineer needs more time to do
 it, than a tool does. The analysis tool should load tools and talk to
 the tools, to provide good settings. Based on what? How should this
 work? If an engineer listens to sound and should describe another
 engineer what to do, who doesn't listen to the sound, it already
 is unlikely to get a good result. How should the analysing tool find
 the right words, to explain the tools what they need to do? 
  What problem do you try to solve? IMO your vague idea
would cause
 issues. 
I'm afraid examples were given and there is no need to repeat ad vitam
since after all, the text is there and can be re-read.
You may call then 'settings' although IMHO it is a bit more than that
if only because when using the term 'settings' there is a heavy
connection being dragged along which consists of 100% static
definitions that exists before the task has started.  And this was also
mentioned previously.
