what exactly does a MASTERING engineer have to do with getting drum sounds???

is the concept of "tracking engineer" or "recordist" truely dead, final nails in the coffin? are we now as an industry looking to mastering to as the be-all end-all of processing?

20 years ago it was "fix it in the mix" now it's all up to the guy who's cutting the glass master for duplication???
