I think it was about the whistling...

 

Yeah I got that 🤣 I was just making a comment on a drummer playing without trying to break the kit 🤷‍♂️

I think, this is from situations I've been in, it's the continuous wash of a 'what are the chords?' ( rather than a specific part) chord bashing type guitarist.

 

Particularly on a piezo equipped acoustic into a PA. I've never found any amount of, or quality of, bass gear that can cope with the lack of space in the arrangement. 

 

Keyboard lefthand obviously also.

 

I would always choose the right part played at the right time on mediocre gear over the opposite. I remember reading an article with George Massenburg being asked about how you make a great record. He just said all you need is a great musical arrangement....he didn't say one of his mega fancy mastering EQs or anything.
