My question is 

How does Neutron "know" what I want it to sound like?


It's like a thermos. 
 
It keeps cold things cold and hot things hot.
 
But how do it know?

Guy walks into the store, asks what that thermos thing is...clerk says "it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold". Cool, says the guy, I'll buy one.
 
Comes back the next day demanding a refund, saying it didn't work. "You said it would keep hot things hot and cold things cold, but it doesn't!" 
 
"What did you put in it?" the clerk asks.
 
"Coffee and ice cream."
 
Customer: what does this Neutron thing do? 
iZotope: it will tell you where to set every knob for a professional, radio-ready mix.
Customer: cool, I'll take it.
Next day, customer is experiencing buyer's remorse...
Customer: you told me this would tell where to set every knob for a professional, radio ready mix. It doesn't.
iZotope: in what way did it not meet your expectation?
Customer: _____________________

It did not understand the need for the Am bass note. It kept masking it.

Neutron keeps removing my guitar solos and it's turning my drums into 808s.

I'm sure this plugin is just analyzing frequencies and suggesting cuts for frequency matching. I'm pretty sure Melda is planning something similar. I'm surprised Izotope beat them to market.

Neutrino didn't exactly bowl me over (X 1,000,000,000) so I'll be over here on the other side of the fence...chewing my cud.

My pedal-board is a mess and my tube amp exploded.

Considering that a lot of people making music are now using sample libraries and virtual instruments and that popular music is only becoming more repetitive, it seems logic that "intelligent" plug-ins will eventually be able to handle most mixing and mastering duties.
 
They'd probably be of no use if you fed them a multitrack session of a 70's classic...

Neutrino is also a member of a uk garage band.. i found it funny in that sense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxide_%26_Neutrino
 
as for izotope.. I'll wait a year or 3 till they HIGHLY discount with perhaps , or no backward compat (like iris) .. like 2 other things I bought from them.. not a fan of the companies marketing antics (and many more companies) and how much I've spent with them vs other companies.. wanna discount stuff so much ? no worries, I'll wait for that discounted price.
