Hoffman quote:
"So now that we are finished with the new White Stripes LP mastering (four sides) I can tell you of something neat that happened.
As some of you know, when cutting a record, a special tape machine with a "preview head" is needed. This preview head tells the computer a few seconds before the audio hits the cutter head if the groove needs to get bigger or smaller. This of course saves space on a side of an album. In the 1960's this was done by hand, if the cutting engineer saw an increase in volume on the preview head VU meters he manually increased the width and depth of the groove until the loud part was over. With our computer this can be done very accurately now. It's a great invention.
So, the new White Stripes album is delivered on four master reels of analog tape. (Jack is an audiophile and loves recording and mixing in analog.) In Nashville (where this new album was recorded) the engineer used a special tape recorder with a gigantic one inch width tape to capture the mix. The folks at WB were very excited that we were going to cut an album from these special reels, they found us a 1" two track machine here in LA, delivered it to us and we were on our way. The tapes by the way sound wonderful; very dynamic, big gigundo bass drum, great punchy sounds.
The problem? Well, we didn't want to tell WB but we had NO idea how we were going to pull this off. Can you guess? That's right; the special one inch machine (a specially modified Ampex ATR-102) HAS NO PREVIEW HEAD. So, no way to get a preview signal to the computer to tell it what to do.
Kevin Gray came up with the solution. He said it came to him in a dream. In simple terms, he did this: First, rehersal. A pass was made into Sonic Solutions with the tapes mimicking our mastering moves, level changes, etc. Then during real cutting he managed to split the feed and sync the playback of the digital up with the actual master reels and back the digital off exactly the right amount of seconds to mimic the preview head on an analog tape machine. The computer had a preview feed from the digital at the all important correct level and we opened the pots and cut each side from the 1" analog masters.
This is the first time in recording history that a vinyl master was cut in analog straight from a one inch master mix.
The WHITE STRIPES rule! Oh, and so does Mr. Genius Mastering Maven Kevin Gray!"

Nå har jeg hørt på "Icky Thump" hver bidige dag siden den kom ut. Den er kul, men den er ikke like kul som Elephant. Om den er bedre eller dårligere enn den forrige "Get behind me Satan" får tiden vise. Jeg har ikke bestemt meg ennå.
Uansett er det uhorvelig fett at White Stripes igjen gir ut plate. Jeg trodde alt håp var ute etter suksessen med radiobandet Raconteurs. Huff, kjære Jack. Jeg håper du bare lagde bandet for pengene.
Jeg ser på nettsidene til White Stripes at de turnerer for tiden i Canada og USA. Finnes det håp for at vi får se de i Norge i nærmeste fremtid?

Jack virker som en svært trivelig type med prioriteringene i rett hånd. Føler meg ganske sikker på at Raconteurs oppsto på grunn av spillehunger ikke penger. Det er så og si aldri negativt at en artist søker inspirasjon fra forskjellige kilder fremfor å jage opp en blindgate. Ikke misforstå; jeg mener overhodet ikke at White Stripes hverken er eller har vært i en sådan, men jeg er nokså sikker på at Icky Thump har tjent kvalitativt på at Jack har fått utfolde seg innenfor litt andre rammer.Lapavoni skrev:

Sånne hyperaktive musikere som Jack White har som regel fire fem band gående samtidig. Det var vel gøy for han at det ene sideprosjektet slå såpass bra an.
Denne Nashville-påvirkningen synes jeg at jeg hørte i starten fordi jeg hadde lest kritikker som sa det. Men etter noen runder i CD-spilleren så er jeg ikke så sikker lenger. Hadde jeg ikke visst dette med Nashville så spørs det om jeg hadde kunnet sette fingeren på det.
Forøvrig, Allmusic.com har mange fine vendinger i sine omtaler:
Ja, det låter litt annerledes enn de andre albumene. Om mulig så går han ennå høyere opp med sliden på gitaren ;D

Ja, mange fine omtaler på allmusic, men veldig ofte virker et som at de som gir karakterer der er helt i ørska.Lapavoni skrev:

Synes siste skiva deres er bra jeg! nå er jeg ingen WS kjenner, men så en live dvd med de for en tid tilbake og ble mektig imponert over hva de to klarer å generere av lyd, å se Meg sitte på sin lett feminine måte og tromme rock som hun gjør, herlig! 
, og hva den mannen Jack klarer å vrenge ut av en gitar, igjen meget imponerende!
For de av dere som liker JW´s Nashville sound anbefales Loretta Lynn "van lear rose" (Produced & arranged by Jack White) meget spennende og orginal country skive med særpreg, der han også deltar på noen spor.
mvh

Da har jeg klint til og kjøpt konsertbilletter til konserten deres i London den 2. november. Du og du. Dette blir gøy.
