People, in general, are forced to see the audio unit as a single digit black box.
The reality is that the simplest audio gear is a black box alright but with 100 ins..and 100 outs.
For the average person, those 100 I/O factors....are each nebulous unknowns. Things unseen and unknown. Sum total singular in and sum total singular out...is all that is ever witnessed.
A misidentified idealized singular black box.
Major disconnect.
The entire forum and the endeavor itself is based on attempting to navigate this major disconnect.
