We are actually a group of producers . we do check the phase issues , clear the the frequencies and side chaining by frequencies and when ever is necessary doing general side chaining . we all think there is a difference but we all might be wrong 
just to give you a clear picture , we are all in this business for a long time with credits for madonna , christina aguilera alot of spinning records releases and more … but as everybody searching for the perfect sound and trying to learn the technical matters more deep as we all learn pretty much from experience .
so i’m trying to understand , maybe its’ the fact we work high on the mix and maybe we kill the headroom ? anyway , it works better with our method with a different output .
