Re: One for the bottleheads

Reproducing the signal is not the same as reproducing the sound, of
course>

It is. >

This may just be semantics, but I think the point being reached for
here is that a signal can be faithful in many important respects for
the sound engineer - flat frequency response etc. (all understandable,
no argument here) but it may not 'sound' idiomatically like the music
it is supposed to reproduce in subtle ways. The Germans distinguish
between musker and musikant, roughly translated as 'makes music' and
'is musical'. I think that's the difference, and however subtle it may
be it matters for musicians, as shown by the fact there are distinct
expressions for one and the other.
