"Real production using virtual instruments only became a reality to me after I started using Scarbee Vintage Keys. Before that,..it was not because I simply didn’t have the 'core' sounds I use at the quality and playability that the Vintage Keyboards provided me. I still to this day start virtually every production with one of the Scarbee instruments. They are the first sounds I recommend to any clients or colleagues to purchase with their DAW systems, as I often have people asking me what I use. I carry them with me everywhere!"
