Rebbs aka Rebel With Creation - Composition, engineering, programming and live performance.
In the newly updated Rebel Music Production Studio, Rebbs uses a custom built Dual Core Pentium PC running Nuendo 3 and RME Hammerfall I/O with 24 ch ADAT linked directly to Mackie D8b digital mixing desk. Roland Fantom keyboard, Roland AX-7 remote keyboard, Korg, Native Instuments, AAS, Arturia, Steinberg and TC powercore plugins with live performance outboard from TC Electronic and Lexicon.
