Am I right in thinking that Ableton is good for controlling synths and patch management etc? That would certainly be handy for me in a live setting.
Yeah and No, I have often remapped controllers live while I'm playing cos it's so easy (click any on screen control, twiddle/press a midi controller, done) but most software is like that these days. Sending midi is also pretty simple, once you've set the prefs. Patch management, well in terms of virtual synths that works pretty well, patches can basically become seperate instruments. As for the management of patches of external instruments, well that's pretty crap tbh (bordering on non existent really) but it's not summing I do really.

That's a bit rich coming from someone who likes Budgie.

I think for British males of a certain age Bowie looms large.

Actually 68/69 Budgie was ahead of its time.
Davy was in his Newley phase then, wasn't he?

Surely it'd be the other way round?
Not that I would agree with that anyway.

What are you basing that on - demo's, live shows? The first album wasn't released until 1971.
I like the description in the NME Book Of Rock Vol 2 back in the 70's when they called Budgie "a somewhat pedestrian heavy riffing outfit".
If you like that kinda thing, good luck to you.

That's fine
Lord, you are really the only one that has tried to articulate,
the rest is mostly sycophantic fan boy stuff,
that he mostly comes off as a 70's Beck (also called a genius by his fans)
