My experience in the studio is, projects are divided into separate groups:

1. Someone is funding a recording for their granddaughter. they rely on a producer (me, in many cases) to manage the session, including arrangements, keys, instrumentation.

2. An experienced person, with time in the studio always listens to the input of others.

3. Not many people come in with lead sheets
and firm arrangements at the place I'm associated with as an investor and studio arranger/producer/player.
