"He [Becker, 1978 p. 864-870] posits that such a transformation occurs when artists become interested in the craft materials as a new medium for artistic expression and make attempts to take it over. The results of such a transformation show up primarily in two ways: (1) a change in the aesthetic conventions for judging the crafted objects from utilitarian to expressive, and (2) a change in the status of the work—and the workers—from technical to artistic. The following study specifies how this process took place in popular music collaborations and transformed sound mixing from a craft to an art."

by "such a transformation" refers to sound mixers transforming into "artist-mixers" as creatives.

See (Becker 1978).
