mixing instruments and vocals seperately

hey guys what are your thoughts on having the person mix the music different to the person mixing the vocals.

i have listened to my music so much that it has lost all meaning although i know exactly how i want my vocals to sound.

can you guys see an disadvantages with this?

i would basically be mixing vocals on a stereo mix.

cheers

Possibly stupid but very serious question about mixing/mastering.

So I am at my wits end about where a mix ends and the mastering process begins. What I would really like to know is, are there certain rules of thumb (i.e. Bass frequencies should not be any lower that 20hz) when creating a mix? Or is it that when creating a mix, one is not concerned with how certain aspects of the mix would sound on a normal soundsystem?
