The audio engineer with the promotionally effective name demands another audio engineer for this kind of assistance. IOW a human does the mix and another human does the fine tuning. This is quasi the counterpart of what Fons already mentioned. Let iZotope's Track Assitant/Neutron do the mix, then use iZotope's Track Assitant/Neutron to do the fine tuning of the mix it produced before. While you assume that a tool could do the raw mix and an audio engineer finishes the mix, my claim is, that this only would be possible, if it could be done the other way around, too. A human audio engineer does the raw mix and the tool must be able to do the fine tuning. If the tool shouldn't be able to do the fine tuning, after a human already did the raw mix, then it's impossible for the tool to do a usable raw mix.
