Hi Willie!I know you listen to music with your ears!
You're a good reasoner and a fine listener.
Building equipment to reproduce all the actual parts of a music signal
(which many of us refer to as THE "signal")-- in this case, they're
meaning that the total composite parts of energy added together
comprise THE signal. They're thinking it is one item, but their use
of the word "signal" properly interpreted-- is PLURAL because a music
signal contains many separately operating parts.The important point of all this is that the better a piece of music
electronics is, the better it can separate the many items that together-- make up the "signal". Since these many items are occurring at different times, frequencies, and intensities, the equipment must be able to separate all of the energies, while at the same time, it must also
produce a sum of all of the energies.This is easy to observe in amplifiers. One amp may favor a piano note over all the rest of the signal mix. Another amp may almost drop the piano note, and favor a Mandolin strike over the piano. But both are playing. so why not reproduce EACH item because it is separate, being able to include all the other instruments and voices separately as well, yet be able to play the entire mix of all of them together accurately as well.
This is a very tall order for a piece of electronics to do, but the best recording equipment makes a good try at it, and multi-channel mixing
and volume control gets the rest of the job done.On playback, you don't want to apply all of these techniques, you just want to hear the whole performance-- every part of it, and the whole of it-- as well.
And that's all there is to it. Whether you consider all of it an individual "signal" or whether you think of it as being made up of many parts is your choice-- it's just a matter of wording, nothing more.
You still have to get the reproduction of both approaches right.
Whether that's to your ears-- or to honor the music is also
simply a different way of talking about it.The only thing that matters is that you get music right. Right is when
you can't tell the in-room speaker presentation from the in-studio
live presentation..The most important factor for musical electronics to deliver correctly is event-timing and event mixing. Each part of the mix preserved within its own time frame, yet a coherent part of the whole picture.
