mixing is the last step the artist is (or can be) part of. once it goes off to be mastered, it's locked down as is. It is, very simplistically speaking, deciding which of the zillion tracks to each song get more prominent and others less prominent (e.g., you can hear more or less of the bass, the drums, the backing vocals whatever).
If you watched the Destiny Rules documentary, this is the part where they worked with Mark Needham (and briefly Chris Lord-Alge) and spent all those hours smoking pot-- I mean listening to mixes in the studio.
