The Raconteurs Reveal New Album Mixing Technique for ‘Help Us Stranger’

  • Jack White shows us a technique he developed for doing master mixes. The Raconteurs are mixing their new album with Vance Powell at Sputnik Sound.
    Listen to The Raconteurs: TheRaconteurs.lnk.to/listenYD
    One of their new songs “Shine The Light On Me"" is broadcast with an FM transmitter from inside the studio. Outside in the car park, the band listens to the broadcast on an unused FM frequency. (The broadcaster only sends a small powered signal about a distance of a hundred feet or so.)
    The band uses a walkie talkie to give notes on the mix to the engineer (Vance) back in the control room. This way the artist can mix in real time, and hear exactly what the song sounds like on the radio as well, this time through the amazing sound system of a Tesla Model S. This speeds up the process of mixing greatly and reduces the amount of remixes that occur after artists feel they’ve “got it” in the studio, only to listen in the car on the ride home realizing that the kick drum is too loud!

    I was partners in a Nashville jingle business in the early 80s.
    Back then, we put our mixes on cassettes and listened to them in one of our cars in the parking lot.
    Thanks for making me feel smart!

    My highschool Recording Arts teacher showed us stuff kinda like this and highly recommend it! It is a super good idea, because often people don't think at first to test their songs on other systems, especially car stereos.

    Years ago I read an interview with Jack, must've been Rolling Stone, and he talked about this exact process for listening back to his new solo material. He felt the car was the best place to hear playback since people listen to more music in their car than anywhere else so if it sounds good cruising down the road then you'll want to listen to it anywhere. I will say it is cool to see it in action.

      He actually loves technology, he just likes the physical element of hearing and making music, he talks about vinyl in and interview, he said ''You can watch a movie on your phone and get something out of it, but when you're driving and you see the cinema, you know thats the real thing, where you really watch movies, the same with music''

      Why do people think Jack doesn't like technology? Jack loves technology. Notice how he got new equipment to press records in TMR? Everyon eelse restores antique machinery. Jack was the only one willing to invest in the new tech for this industry. Just because he likes the results of old tech in recording, doesn't mean he is opposed to new tech in general. Where do you guys come up with this shit?
