Why would the public want to know? Why would they care?
This goes in line with my theory about audiences perceiving music 
(unless they are either dedicated or nerdy musicians or musicologists on 
a mission): The audience does not care how exactly it's made. They only 
care how it sounds and in the case of live performance/videos how it looks.
(this theory needn't be true, it's merely based on a relatively small 
sample, but here's some related thesis: http://fwd4.me/0fD)
