I’ve been meaning to say this for a while, and just keep forgetting. I’m a big proponent of not taking massive creative license while running sound. It’s not the engineer’s job to shape the band/ song into something it’s not intended to be. One area you should make an executive decision though, is if a guitar is out of tune. Pull that way down in the mix (maybe not completely out, but bury it!). Even if your mix sounds a little empty now, it’s better than the alternative. That is all…
