Full ACK. But now I'm unsure what Jonetsu means by the word "placement"
and I still don't understand what starting point settings Jonetsu is
talking about.

However ...

... my concerns are related to exactly this attitude. If the tool
starts mixing, then why doesn't it finish the mix? Assuming it doesn't
finish the mix, because it has got no idea how to do it, then I wonder
how it could provide an unfinished mix, that should be useful to finish
the mix.

If EQs are not used at this stage of the mix, then I wonder what tools
should be used. If e.g. only faders should get commands from an
analysing tool, I wonder how it decides which track should get what
level for the raw mix and what it should gain to make the work easier.
