Justice

"When we did the first EP we used a lot of plug-ins such as the LinPlug Delta but now we're just using a Juno 106 to compose the tracks. Then we are replacing most parts with samples on one computer."

"A lot of people think it's bullshit when we say we use GarageBand, but it's actually an amazing tool."

A German article has archived images of Justice's live setup from a show in Rio, which prominently displays Ableton Live on their MacBook Pro screen. These images were originally from a photographer on Orkut and provided to createdigitalmusic.com; however, the English-language article's images have all 404'd.

Additionally, according to JazzMutant (the manufacturers for Justice's MIDI controllers, the Lemur), "The backbone of their setup consists in three synchronised Lemurs plugged into Ableton Live".

From an archived interview with Justice from eMusician.com: "...[Also in the duo's bare-bones setup is an Apogee Ensemble interface and, for monitors, Altec iPod speakers and a Bose radio alarm clock.]"

From a MusicRadar article:

We use Cubase - version SX - and Garageband. Really we don't want to use any other software. We are happy using Cubase and Garageband. ... We have a big analogue desk as well; a big Soundcraft - I forget the model number. It doesn't get used any more, though - we just do everything inside the computer in Cubase and GarageBand.

Original article Justice on the making of D.A.N.C.E: "It was meant to be a tribute to Michael Jackson".

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."

In their live masterclass with Mix with the Masters, Xavier admits having 3 pairs of monitors in Justice's studio, including the MM27 from Barefoot.

"It's a simple set up, we have a pair of the Genelec 8030s for monitoring. We wanted the older ones, the square ones, because we think the 8030s are really ugly" - Justice.

3 Pioneer DJM-800s can be seen at 2:56-3:00. Justice uses these to mix tracks in Ableton during their live Dj sets.
