How does the live version sound so much better? The levels on the studio version are all over the place. It makes him sound like he's running out breath .

It's not about him firing his engineers. What he needs is a decent A&R.
He's recording a lot of his sh*t at home, and then sending sessions out to get mixed and mastered. He's green-lighting these final mixes. Engineers are work-for-hire, so they'll do whatever you tell them to when it comes to the sound you're looking for. Thing is, this is how Banks likes his sh*t to sound. So he has multiple engineers mixing in this same way. If he had an A&R to sit with, a good one could tell him that he needs to clean those records up so they don’t get murdered by how other sh*t is sounding today.
