Joe is right, if you are paying the guy or gal at the board, he is not the boss. If he or she can't deliver what YOU want, trust me there are plenty who will do EXACTLY as you ask, albeit there is a chance you don't like how your "exactness" sounds in the end. A producer can be the arbiter of exactly what to do and say, but again, if he or she's on your dotted line, YOU make the decision. Now, Joe has it together unlike anybody I've ever seen or heard, so Kevin's style of recording "live" must be like a dream. And Joe has golden ears. Not everyone needs fancy doodle engineering, and even a great engineer can only make GREAT out of preexisting excellency. But if musician(s) makes easy work out of recording sessions for an engineer and producer, things are like a dream state indeed, instead of grueling nightmarish horrors of exhaustion. If you know what you want, and can get it yourself, great, but if you can hear 'it" and need some professional opinions, work it whatever way you can. The compromise doesn't work if you aren't even using headphones but relying on the room sounds with YOUR amp and YOUR effects set up YOUR way. Sometimes it has to go down in one take and no fiddling with "perfection".
Reverb from an amp, a large reflective warehouse room or plate, outboard, pedal or amp reverb has to be (will be) set in stone at some point, and pre-effect(s) Y-split tracking (dry vs. "wet") is an answer if you need insurance as you work it.
But as Joe advises, stick with your game plan or revise it a tad but don't desert it on a whim (of others).
Rock ON & Keep the Faith,
Rocket
