No thanks God this never happened to me! I try to choose good the Mastering guys I work with.

But I heard from some good friends , Top producers and Engineers that they went to do the mastering with some A+ big boys having big expectations and they felt that the sound could be much better...just because they did what they wanted and not what the producer suggested...and they are not talking about balance they are talking about vibe and character.

One of them wasn't convinced at all about the sound.
So he came back to his studio and he remastered the tracks.
Called then band and in a blind test all the band preferred his mastering that the Big Mastering guy and i am talking one of the top 5 big boys!!

The impresion was that if you are not a Billboard top artist 20 they don't take the project with the same responsability and they don't make the same effort.....they have hundreds of top 100 billboard projects anyway!!
I was happy with Tom Coyne at Sterling sound! nice guy!!
