A processed track will be more balanced than the mix, to sound more constent on more systems. Past that basic step, it depends on what you ask for and the communication both ways. Yes each ME has an ear and a chain to bias their work, but they can still go many directions. It's our job to satisfy your taste, so getting to know that taste is essential. Like with most shopping, if you know what you want and can express it you might just get it, but if you dont know what you want ... then you will know as soon as you hear something come back! Listen, talk, listen. It's not hard to have it go well with mutual respect between you and the ME.
