this idea is based on a misconception about how ardour works internally.
"mixing" is 100% the same as the basic signal processing that occurs on
every "signal processing route" (known to users as tracks & busses). you
can't "separate" this from mixing, but you don't have to have the editor
involved at all.

if you want ardour as just a mixer, you create a session with only
busses, then you hide the editor window and show just the mixer.
et voila.
