Moog/A6 was Re: [AH] Re: [A6] Re: [AH] New Track -Electro/Trip-Hop/Dub

It is not so strange really..the A6 oscillators are modelled after the Moog 
Modulars. So is the moog filter. It is analog.
And it has high quality outputs and VCA making a very beefy sound. The thing 
is,
on a recording, it won't matter as much whether its a Moog modular, Minimoog 
or Andromeda that's doing the bassline. The listeners won't care. They hear 
a pleasant sound, and that's it.
No synth on an album is supposed to sound HUUUGE and oomphy, then it would 
just drown out everything else. They are mixed together carefully. But you 
know this already :)
Played singularly however, they can blow the roof off the building..but it 
shouldn't be doing that in a mix, then the mixing tech should get fired, 
hehe. I've made some amazing sustained bass sounds on my A6, so big and fat 
the windows start rattling on the lower notes! My landlords (very cute and 
kind old people thankfully) came down yesterday wondering why the house was 
vibrating.
I said "it was probably just a big truck passing on the highway. I didn't 
play loud". Hehe. All the little pleasures :)
