Rene aka Maker
His introduction to record players, vinyl and production happened at the age of 20. He learnt how to play at old techno records, but he always loved house music. Rene plays at turntables and CD players. His playing technique cannot be clearly defined because he plays everything, from house to techno, but mostly progressive house.
He has been involved in production since the age of 20. At the very beginning he used REASON (1, 2, 2.5, 3), and later he discovered CUBASE SX as a supplement to Reason and started to use it. He bought ROLAND (Edirol) keyboard and since gets the best of it. His production is versatile, from house to tech and deep house, to progressive, and even techno. Making music in: Reason 4, ReCycle 2.1, Cubase, Wavelab, T-RackS 24, Nuendo, Fruity Loops 8, Logic Platinum. Midi: Edirol PCR-30.
