Aha...
This becomes the genius of the "well rounded musician" in the 21st century.
It's not just about technique and feeling anymore - it's also about fitting
correctly in the mix. Jim Acker has a great point about this problem. In
the old days, the producer or engineer was responsible for getting a good
sound. Now we are each expected to provide the correct sound for the
occation. Pure volume used to suffice, but now we who use electronic
amplification need to be tasteful and polite with our tonic release.

Every gig differs in the location's requirements for a quality sound. The
best we can do as musicians is provide a quality sound to the mixing
equipment/soundperson.
