Jack White's DJ Setup

Hide incorrect submissions

Used to record the album Lazaretto. "We recorded to tape, initially just eight–track, to RMG 900 at 7.5ips. Jack loves that sound and we also are very happy with the quality. It has a hefty bass bump, almost an octave lower than 15ips, and the top end is flat until 20k. Something happens at the top end, above 4k, with tape compression; the sound is easier saturated and it meant that we never had to worry about things like de–essers. We did not hit the tape hard. In fact, we left tons of headroom, because it retains transients better."

Used to record Icky Thump, as stated by recording and mixing engineer Joe Chiccarelli in this October 2007 Sound on Sound interview.

“Jack and Meg are big supporters of the analogue format, and he’s a big believer in the old-school approach: punch it in, no comping. If you don’t like a vocal take, just erase it and redo it. He has a Studer A80 eight-track recorder at home, and we used a Studer A827 with a 16-track head, and Emtec 900 2-inch tape, 30ips, no Dolby. I recorded pretty hot, because I wanted the stuff to have an extra little bit of distortion, and more edge and lots of tape compression. These things became part of the sound. I also had to make sure my levels were consistent, so when I spliced something in, it didn’t become unmixable and out of control.”
