What exactly does mixing and mastering include?

[Bruno Poeys]

if someone feels comfortable asking Ron who is mixing the albums or if it'll take around 1 month we thank you in advance
Hmm and we might ask as well if the mixing started only when album was totally done or if each finished part of the CD was instantly mixed

For whats its worth George Marino has Guns N' Roses under his current projects, its been there since 2005. So I'm assuming that he's gonna master it.
This guy has mastered all Guns' albums except for Appetite and Greatest Hits.

I think most of the album was already mixed in 2006, I don't think "minor additions" means mixing a complete album starting from the beginning.

i dont think it did either, but i think "additions" meant just that. actual musical additions. i.e. frank and bbf. i dont think he meant mixing at all. a little or a lot. coz they hadnt got that far in all probability. note that axl didnt actually say recording was finished.

Why the smiley. This guy is considered to be one of the best there is. Lies, Illusions, Spagetti Incident, ect. have all sounded awesome. I cant see Chinese being any different.
