New Gear, Andromeda A6 Tracks, would appreciate feedback;-)

Ditched most of my soft synths and went Hard/core/Ware, after many failed attempts at rigging the fucking thing through midi and what not I finally got my A6 coming through Ableton. Please give these tracks a seeing too and tell me what you think, thanks I really appreciate it. BTW last track is a guitar track, i did , would love somefeed back on dat one.

Safe Jaffa didn't know you were still about dude. I heard a lot of good things about the Andromeda A6 and they're fucking expensive 2nd hand!! First tune is a grower that's for sure. I like it .... its dark but kinda deep. Dunno how I feel about the mastering as it sounds like there is a lot of clipping to my ears. I like the flow of this though you keep real varied at the same time keeping the core vibe. I feel if the master was better that'd be good though. I'll have a listen to the others and try comment later.

Thanks very much promo, having listened back to the track I guess the lead that kicks in does peak abit throughout. May have to do something about it.

1st track - not really into it i'm afraid... i think it's a bit muddy for a start - too much reverb going on and some slight distortion in the high freqs to my ears. seems a bit plodding and doesn't really go anywhere, but some pleasant sounds i guess.

2nd track immedately sounds better, has a raw quality, nice and dreamy

3rd track - i likey! darkside. main swell pad thing might be a bit loud in the mix and could perhaps use a little more variation in the drum track.

4th track - yeah very joy division-esq sound to it! i would like to hear some more breakdowns in the drums on this too - a couple of fill-in type bits. good track though :)

overall i agree with promo that it all sounds a little distorted with lots of clipping...maybe it's just too goddam loud??

Metal Drone is nice and like the dark vibe of it but the pads are too loud in the mix so they swamp the beats. Also I think you should low pass filter the pads to around 1- 1.5khz to allow the whole thing to breath a bit more.

Thanks for all the comments guys, I guess these tunes are clipping all over the place, have a really hard time keeping the levels balanced on my soundcard when playing live through the external in, still trying to resolve it.

I like the old skool vibe!

I like these four tracks ; each has an originality that makes it interesting.

Ok I'm quite lazy to develop right now, I just wanted to say that I appreciated them. Maybe I'll come back ^^
