Don't worry Meng I'm sure the rest of the guys here will understand.

I totally agree with Meng.  It may have its use but not for me.

Not too strong at all I'm totally impressed. Your screen shot say's it all...choices. Right on. 
And thanks to any attempt to remove bloatware from "The New DAW" 
The more we info hear from you the more interested we will be about what's to come :)

p.s sorry if I come across too strong on this for some!

Nonsense.  Your transparency and creative thoughts are well appreciated.  We all get worked up a little on these things because this is a passionate group of musicians, and I think most of us can see at least a little bit of the possibility beyond what a traditional DAW has been. 
I firmly believe that the world does not need yet another DAW that does exactly the same thing as 20 other products out there.  The things you are talking about beyond the "traditional DAW" are what could make this a successful venture.
Personally I had already taken on StudioOne as Gibson was faltering and then exercised the attractive offer for Cubase.  I consider both of those "traditional DAWs", each with some nice uniques, but still living within that confined "traditional" space.  As much as I have liked SONAR, if it were to be just another product to fill that same spot, I don't really need that.
OTOH, as part of a solution that extends deeper into the creative space, I am very interested.  I am really not a song writer as such.  I never had a talent for lyrics or writing catchy hooks.  But I often find myself wanting to capture musical ideas for further development.  That makes perfect sense to do on a mobile device or cloud platform.
Just yesterday, I had a fellow musician ask me about software to consider as she wanted to collaborate on the writing of a song.  It won't be the next Lady Gaga hit, but she really wants to go through the process of collaboration.  There really isn't much out there yet to fill that need.  I think the possibilities are great.
Myself, I am interested in how such a technology could be worked into some educational projects and master classes I am planning for the next year.

Not harsh at all.
I've thought since the inception of LANDR that it was a great tool but not a great replacement.
As much as technology is getting better every year, we humans cant be replaced.. yet anyways.
 
I thought LANDR was great for quick in a rush I need fast master for the car, something to compare, exc.
But never a solid master. When it was first introduced on this forum, Sonar users were upset to see it as part of an update. Trying to validate their argument it is not a replacement for mastering. And they were right.
Personally it didn't get my panty's in a bunch because I could care less.
If some find it helpful, have a use for it, great. If not spend the money where it really should be going, a professional.

Don't wanna hijack this post, but has anyone compared the final product of "quick" mastering between LANDR and Bandlab. I use LANDR, but I don't wanna pay for it if Bandlab can produce the same results.
 
And yes......I use LANDR for quickie listening in the car or phone, sending to friends for comments, etc. 
 
Thanks all.

Not sure if your question has been answered Panu, but the answer is NO.

For me, i have little use of such. While mastering is jot my forte, i have enough together to have quickie templates that do quite well when such a need arises....

....or as basic templates to start more in depth mastering.

But an experienced specialized mastering engineer brings the artistic value of "taste" to the quantifyable values automation currently accomplishes...

Landr has never been of any issue to me outside of curiosity...

This is very good news!
I'm happy to hear that LANDR will be removed from SUDWSFKAS (Still Unnamed Digital Workstation Suite Formerly Known As Sonar).
 
Thanks Meng! :)
