In fact, mixing is a different process from production. The producer sit down with the band, gives advice on the songwritting, provides input on the music, structures of the songs, riffing, druming, singing, and directs the recording process.
Almost every album that I know of has different producer and mixer and all of them differentiates production and mixing. This is why we can read things like "Produced and Mixed by In Flames" as an example.
For example.
Insomnium's Winter's Gate.
Produced by Insomnium.
Mixing, Mastering: Dan Swano.
Or this:
Whoracle
Production and design
