Hebden's approach to working with computers is very much based on destructive processing and manual editing, and he tends not to use plug-in effects: "I only use about two plug-ins. I use the TC Native EQ and the Waves C1 compressor quite a lot, and some reverbs, but not much. Everyone's records end up sounding the same, so I really haven't explored plug-ins at all."

Four Tet confirmed using the Soma Laboratory Terra synthesizer in the creation of his album "Loved," as he mentioned in an Instagram post. He stated, "I was given this synth as a gift last year from @floatingpoints and @cariboumusic. They told me they thought it was perfect for me and I’d finish making my album with it. They were right and I made Loved using it a few weeks later. Thank you Sam and Dan. You are loved."
