Can the voice mix also clip and is there anything I have to pay regard to 
when setting levels in the mix mode ?

Good question - no hard answer here BUT be aware that clipped mixers are 
designed in for some synths, even Andromeda. The Micromoog, in particular, 
has only one oscialltor but it is FAT because it is designed to distort at 
the mixer. Be aware that is may be good to TRY clipping different tones at 
different places in the chain. This is how engineers (my main job) try to get 
maximum "sound: from things; trying all combinations of levels. Some things 
like to be driven hard, so not. 

Hopefully someone has the "real" answer, but hopefully you will experiment 
and MAKE your own answer too!

PS - Used my A6 on a record several times this week. The singer/songwriter 
knows very little about gear or "digi vs. analog". I have lots of old and new 
gear, from pianos and Mellotrons to digital and virtual synths, we were using 
all of them. When she heard the A6, she said "That sounds GREAT!". End of 
argument...
