Justice famously created much of Cross in the supposedly entry-level software, and it seems likely that they'll be using it in the future, too. Aside from the choir recordings at London’s Strongroom, the Cross sessions took place inside the basement studio of a rented, cavern-like Parisian chapel where Justice used GarageBand on a Mac G5 computer, Cubase SX, Genelec 8030 monitors and a Wunder Audio PEQ1 mic pre-amp, while playing a piano and guitar to write the material. There was no outboard gear.

Speaking to Pitchfork, Xavier de Rosnay said: "A lot of people think it's bullshit when we say we use GarageBand, but it's actually an amazing tool."
