I'm with Katz on this one. Composing, tracking, mixing, mastering, etc. are all creative acts and any elitist "arteeesst" comments should be acknowledged as such. Just because the mix/ mastering engineer isn't stoned writing lyrics in the corner of the room doesn't mean that his creative process/ artform is any less profound or important than anybody else's. It takes an emotional response as well as technical knowledge and experience to find a creative approach to making a record sound the best it can.
Just a thought- maybe some of the comments in this thread are being made by people with their own internal conflicts about their creativity. All of the talented artists I've worked with have an incredible respect for the mixing and mastering engineers and acknowledge their artistic and creative contributions to the project. Game recognizes game.
