It's just as likely that they'll say, "hey, well, I like the drums in this one and the sax in this other one, maybe you can combine the two."
If only it were that simple. More often than not they'll say something like, "I love the feeling of space you've created in the first piece, but there's a real energy about the second piece that I like a lot. Yeah, I think we need a lot more notes in there, make it busy but retain the spaciousness."
Maybe we should start a thread on real life producer's comments?
