At Sing Sing Studios in Melbourne, Tony Espie and the Avalanches began to get to grips with the initial mixes of the tracks. Further processing of the sounds was done using Neve 3315 EQs and a Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor, and Espie employed an Empirical Labs Fatso EL7x tape simulator and Roland Dimension D chorus to add different characters and dimensions to the samples.

Then on just about everything we had the Avalon [VT-747SP EQ/compressor]

Robbie Chater of The Avalanches utilized the Korg MS2000 Synthesizer to craft unique sounds by converting sampled notes and phrases into MIDI data, which was then manipulated with MIDI keyboards. This technique, highlighted in mixdownmag's "Gear Rundown: The Avalanches," was especially prominent around the time of their album release, allowing the duo to explore more abstract sounds while bypassing sample clearance.
