Knowing what LANDR does could influence how you mix to get the results you want, though it will probably take some trial and error.
Exactly...which is not all that different from working with a human mastering engineer, who should be willing to go back and forth a few times until you get what you want.
I have to say that based on the reactions I've seen, a lot of people must have had not very good interactions with mastering engineers...a good one will work
with you. Obviously LANDR can't interact with you on a personal level, but I think people would understand LANDR better if they'd worked with a real mastering engineer who will say "okay, you want a little more/less bass, let me give it another pass." The difference with LANDR is if the preview has too much bass, then it's on
you to reduce the bass in the mix instead of the mastering engineer in the master, and then you need to try again.
