Depends what he is asking for.
Ask an 'engineer' type or a 'producer' type what they think of X and they often interpret this as an opportunity to analyze the wheres and whats of the technical aspects of the recording IE bass is to quiet or you need less reverb etc.
All I ever want to know when I ask friends is this ...
'Do you like it or not' I don't want to know what THEY would have done because everyone would do it differently. All I wanna know is a yes or no and id rather someone HATED something than felt ambivalent towards it.
Theres nothing worse than that hateful middle ground.
Like or dont like there is no 'ok' (to paraphrase and edit Yoda)
This is the problem with asking technical types they always go for the technical answer when in fact what most people want is a simple affirmation or otherwise that they are at least heading in the right direction.
And to be quiet honest ...... be honest there's nothing worse than hearing some crock of shit from a friend whose afraid to honest.
Don't wanna know the truth? Don't ask in the first place. Simple really.
I am always truthful when asked and me not liking something means nothing more than I dont like it , doesn't make it 'bad' or 'crap'.
'imho'
Cheers
