Re: 2 schools of thought in a mix
Best thing is to attend if you can. Then you can ask to hear the before and after processing and see what is being done. If you go with some notes (for an album and what each song needs) you'll be able to judge what you are hearing in the room, even if you haven't worked in there before. That way you'll know if they are overcooking things. However, if you choose a reputable house, a know engineer who is used to dealing with the genre(s) you work in you should be able to trust their judgement, whilst giving them a few pointer and parameters to work within.
