I think you're just confusing tracks made at the recording session with tracks made at the editing/mixing session (post production). I'll grant you that "track" has a separate, second meaning in the recording business. On a given piece of merchandise (record, tape, cassette, CD, eight-track) there are typically several "songs." "Would you please play the third track again? I love it!" Sometimes two separate "takes" of the same tune are "produced" and released on the same recording (merchandise), and these are sometimes called "first cut; second cut." The way I'm using...http://www.englishforums.com/English/InStereo/2/jkmpw/Post.htm#808528Mon, 06 Jul 2009 08:30:22 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:808528optilang1http://www.englishforums.com/English/InStereo/2/jkmpw/Post.htm#808528http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-808528.xmlHi You can mix an infinite number of tracks into one signal, which would then be on one track. (Why would you want the same signal on multiple tracks?) - I think you are confusing signal/channel with track/tracks . As I wrote above, stereo is a signal which has been separated into 2 signals or channels. So we have the left signal/channel and right signal/channel. There may be any number of tracks mixed into each channel. My understanding of the original post is that we have a guitarist in one room and the bass guitarist in another room, both playing together - creating the stereo effect (two channels - one from each room).http://www.englishforums.com/English/InStereo/jkmpw/post.htm#808010Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:26:14 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:808010Avangi2http://www.englishforums.com/English/InStereo/jkmpw/post.htm#808010http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-808010.xmlMy understanding of stereo is a sound signal that has been separated into two signals. It is not a question of how many tracks have been mixed into each signal. Mono has only one signal, irrespective of the number of tracks recorded. I agree almost 100%. You can mix an infinite number of tracks into one signal, which would then be on one track. (Why would you want the same signal on multiple tracks?) What you now have is monaural, regardless of how many speakers you feed with it. It's impossible to split a single track/signal into two track/signals, unless you have access to the original multiple tracks and remix the whole thing. The only thing you might do is to slightly delay the second track, creating the illusion that one ear...http://www.englishforums.com/English/InStereo/jkmpw/post.htm#807906Sun, 05 Jul 2009 21:45:56 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:807906optilang3http://www.englishforums.com/English/InStereo/jkmpw/post.htm#807906http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-807906.xmlHi   My understanding of stereo is a sound signal that has been separated into two signals. It is not a question of how many tracks have been mixed into each signal. Mono has only one signal, irrespective of the number of tracks recorded. I used to have a Fostex 4 track cassette recorder. In fact I could record a lot more than 4 tracks by 'bouncing' the tracks (I believe Buddy Holly was the first to use such a technique). From the final tracks I could then mix down to either mono or stereo. By the way, the technique of creating sounds so that they appear anywhere from the left to the right speaker is known as 'panning'. As for 'bass chords' - any bass player will know that it is possible to play chords on...http://www.englishforums.com/English/InStereo/jkmpw/post.htm#807760Sun, 05 Jul 2009 19:29:52 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:807760Newguest4http://www.englishforums.com/English/InStereo/jkmpw/post.htm#807760http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-807760.xmlIn my honest opinion, the reason he brought "stereo" into the picture is that the experience reminded him in a poetic way of how in modern recording, tracks may be recorded separately and then put together to produce a stereo effect. The stereo effect in this case was unintentional. I think you're right here. Thanks.http://www.englishforums.com/English/InStereo/jkmpw/post.htm#807753Sun, 05 Jul 2009 19:22:46 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:807753Avangi5http://www.englishforums.com/English/InStereo/jkmpw/post.htm#807753http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-807753.xmlDoes " I heard them in stereo working together " mean that I heard them (guitarist, bassist) playing together at the same time in two different rooms? Sorry. The simple answer is "yes, and no." It all depends on your understanding of "stereo." Before I was born, "stereo" was applied to a primitive form of 3-D. Modern stereo is 3-D for the ear. A device called the "stereopticon" used two cameras to simultaneously shoot still pictures from slightly different vantages. The device then allowed each eye to see only it's own picture, creating the illusion of depth. In the early 50's this was modernized as the "Viewmaster." Is it possible to have stereo or 3-D without some...http://www.englishforums.com/English/InStereo/jkmpw/post.htm#807651Sun, 05 Jul 2009 17:42:14 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:807651AlpheccaStars6http://www.englishforums.com/English/InStereo/jkmpw/post.htm#807651http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-807651.xmlHi Newguest: If you were in a studio and heard both at the same time, I would say "in concert", not "in stereo". "In stereo" also implies that you heard with both ears, so if you closed your eyes, your brain could figure out where they were in relation to each other. It is almost never simple!

"Stereo" is usually applied to a recording, in which you recreate reality by playing the multiple tracks over separate speakers, corresponding to the separate mikes or pickups from which the recording was created. If you're in a room with a bassist and a guitarist who are playing acoustically, what you hear is sterophonic, or natural. Your two ears hear two slightly different versions. If you repeat this with the bassist in the next room, you have the same thing. If the two instruments are electrically amplified, and fed to two separate speakers, you have stereo. If they're both fed into the same speaker, you have mono, or monaural (not stereo).
