On top of this I used Propellerhead's Rebirth and Reason software on my Mac. I made some beats with the Rebirth software, and Reason is an amazing program, especially the completely automatable filters are very useful. I used this software on '1 Brake 4 Monster Booty' and 'Lucky For Her'

I start with a basic single-note line and then go into some chords. But all I’m doing is holding chords for a half-note or full measure—the software is doing all the rest. MIDI Guitar is routed to a TAL Software’s excellent TAL-U-NO-LX synth, and then getting chopped up, gated, delayed, and panned by the super-cool Audio Damage BigSeq2 plug-in.
