According to
http://jimmyether.com/2011/11/08/record_production-natural_vs_alien/ and
http://www2.grammy.com/PDFs/Recording_Academy/Producers_And_Engineers/Engineer_Definitions.pdf,
balance engineer is the same as mix engineer. So I suggest
- removing the Balance engineer from
http://musicbrainz.org//doc/Category:Engineer_Relationship_Class
- adding Balance engineer into
https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Mix_Engineer_Relationship_Type . BTW, I'd like
to remove references to mixing console,
