Sorry, but I do the best I can to "fix in the mix" but sometimes little things get past me.
I PAY the ME to catch those little things that I (as a human being who makes mistakes) happened to miss, especially on large projects with a short deadline.
It's called TEAMWORK in my book.
Yes, the mixing engineer should give the ME the best possible, complete, finished mix. It doesn't happen in the real world.
However, sometimes I forget a crossfade on a track which I didn't hear, but the ME did. ME can either work some magic to fix it on the spot (thus saving time and money) or if it can't be reasonably fixed, sent back for a remix (costing money and time). In either case, the customer gets a better product.
BTW, the more the ME does to help the final product, the more I pay (call it a tip)!
