That's the whacked thing about it, because no matter how your rough mix sounds (and it may be the best one), one's first inclination is always going to be to attempt to improve it and unless you go through the time consuming process of internal dialog and tweaking cycle, you'll never really know which way it's gonna go. Even if 4 out of 5 times, the un-messed with mix may have historically proven better...you have to know.
