When I don't listen to the band I'm fucking awesome

This is what happens when I decide how a song should sound!

ok Ola DI's (the guy has a compressor in his hand, listen to the palm mutes!) and midi... I fucked up some mapping because I didn't use superior

...and this when I have to do what the band want me to do:

ok this is not masterd at all but you can hear the guitar tone sucks so badly and I was forced to use that sound...

Fuck! I'm the same person who did these two mixes and this is a prove I can produce way better stuff, I just have to be an asshole and tell people I'm gonna choose what's going to be the final mix.
I think these two tracks are a huge example to "never listen totally to clients when you think the sound sucks"
In the past and even now, I always listen to clients, I mean there were people that gave me great suggestions, even the drummer on this tune suggtested some fixes to snare and kick, but the guitarist wanted that sound!
ouch this is a total war!

cheers to everybody

Wow, HUGE difference in those mixes. At the end of the day, you're the engineer and you call the shots.

well, mind that Olas song and playing is also way better then in that other clip
but Olas clip is too loud or pumping, someting is fucked up during the blasts

Ola is fantastic on guitar so I guess most of the magic is there.
I just exagerated with mastering lol
Yeah a bit too loud, basts beats are just over the top with my mastering!
