Jack White

Singer, Guitarist

The Raconteurs

Verified via Soundonsound

Used to record Lazaretto, as stated in this October 2014 Sound on Sound interview.

All of Lazaretto was recorded to one or, usually, two of Third Man Studio’s Studer A800 two–inch machines, which have John French’s JFR Magnetic Science’s Ultimate Analogue eight–track headstacks with a proprietary ninth timecode track for link–up, which allows the two eight–track machines to be combined for 16–track recording. In addition, while Pro Tools was barely used in the making of Blunderbuss, it saw extensive mileage during the making of Lazaretto.
