I think editing should become an industry unto itself. In this DIY era the chain should be:

Tracking
Editing
Mixing
Mastering

Too many bands record on their own and then send the tracks to a mixer. Also there are too many dumb recording "engineers". Mixing an un-edited song is a royal pain in the a**, especially if you've already committed to a fixed price before realizing how much time will be spent on editing "homework".

Charge 'em for it, or get them to do it themselves.

Cheers,

Johann
