I'm sure it is....  I grew up in a musical home of a sorts..no one in my family actually got private lessons but it seemed that we all ended up in some sort of high school band...I ended up with tuba ...smallest kid in class...big lungs and such...all you saw of me were my feet and the tuba...

If your feet were sticking out of the tuba, you may have been doing it wrong. :)

I think it all boils down to whether you hear what's really being played or what you want to hear if you don't understand what just occured in the sonic realm. Remember that rush you could get when the music "blew your mind"? when it was way over your head and just a sonic rush coming at you? The water turns the waterwheel, the guy that made the wheel hears the wheel and how it's working and the water. Someone who doesn't know the wheel hears mostly the water.

I would say that to some extent the question is slightly flawed Mike. Every civilisation seems to have invented its own form of music , especially if you include such things as ritualistic chanting and drumming.
As to deconstructing mixes, I'm pretty good at switching off and just listening for pleasure. Though it is cool to have learned enough along the way to be able to understand a bit of what's going on if I want to.
It may be flawed... Seems to me if I didn't know about constructing music I would hear it differently. Seems to me that somebody that knows nothing is not interupted with "thinking" about it and would hear it differently....maybe not... I don't know so it seemed like a perfect question.

My apologies Mike, I misread your original question.
I thought that by "don't know anything about it" you meant "had never heard it".

I would hope that's the case but all too often it's simply taken for granted. I've heard the clueless people say "That didn't sound the same as the album" when listening to a killer rendition of a song. Then they request Freebird (even though there may be only one guitarist in the band). *Sigh*

I've been busy with so much that it has been a while since I've even stoked up the DAW... . I will pick up the guitar and play along with whatever's on the station .... When I play along to stuff I've never heard before, obviously I'm listening but I'm not trying to analyze it at all for it's production, but just trying to follow and solo over the "groove" of the tune. I'll do this a lot with Jazz music but I'll play along with other styles just as easily. I think that' how non-musicians enjoy the music ... not to play along but just to get into the "groove" of the song.

I analyze most of what I hear. But I still can enjoy music for music's sake. Now I'm able to better appreciate the engineering and what it took to get the song to this level. As far as I'm concerned the engineer is as much part of the band as anyone and his contributions are just as important. I don't enjoy listening to a guitar wizard like Satriani less because I play guitar. Quite the opposite. I can enjoy him more than the people who don't get what he is trying to do, and can truly appreciate just how virtuosic something is that he just pulled off.

No apology needed Steve. I appreciate your input. You've always offered other ways of looking at something and reason for thought. ( and you humor or humour is most excellent!)

I agree Mark with all you stated BUT....can you imagine what someone that knows nothing about music hears it?....I can't.

I think you may be able to observe in a relative fashion.
For example; Take an old recording of Dizzy and Bird ripping it up on a "standard" and play it for someone who hasn't listened to anything but Katy Perry... watch what happens.
best regards,
