Okay I know this is stupid but I have always been confused and want to get this cleared up for once and for all. If someone says play, say a A Dorian. Do they mean playing a scale in the key of A and moving it up one to the dorian mode. Or do they mean playing a dorian scale in the key of A. Or do they mean something totally different> Thanx!

If someone says play A dorian they mean play a dorian scale starting on the note A.

doesnt it also have to end on A ?
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.

That would be implied...

With the given notes of A dorian , it has to end on A in order to be Dorian ... For the same notes , if you ended on G it's G major (Ionian) , if you ended on B it's B Phrygian , and so on with the rest of modes sequence you know.
