2 meanings of mixes

1
verb
Third-person singular simple present of mix.
He mixes the paint colors until he gets the exact shade.
The machine mixes the concrete in a slowly rotating drum.
Note
A verb that nearly always wants an object: she mixes the batter, the engineer mixes the album. Only the sense of forming something by mingling also stands alone, without one. The spelling is identical to the plural noun, so the sentence has to tell them apart: after a subject (he mixes) it is the verb, and after an article (the mixes) it is the noun.
2
noun
Plural of mix.
The builders compared two concrete mixes for the foundation.
Her album features remixes alongside the original studio mixes.
Note
The plural takes its meaning from whichever countable mix is in play. Cake and concrete mixes are separate preparations, while a producer's mixes are distinct versions of one recording. The final x takes -es, as box and fox do. One meaning never reaches the plural: the US slang word for a substance that cuts an illicit drug is uncountable, so it stays mix.
