Honestly, I would throw some early punk rock into that influence as well. Especially in his White Stripes era. Just like with early punk technicality wasn't as nearly as important as the feeling it gave. Imperfections were not only welcomed, but almost seeked out. It's like some sort of bluesy, rockabilly punk rock. And what I love about him is every band he forms or joins, he explores different styles and sounds.

Jack White is exactly like a Batman Villain. He picks a color scheme and everyone sticks to it. Helga Hufflepuff would be proud. His lair is designed with a certain aesthetic and color pallet. His employees all wear his uniform like the henchmen of 1960s Riddler with the green turtle neck, black question mark and purple mask. Yep, Conan was spot on.

I worked at United Record Pressing in Nashville for a while and it was surprising how slow that whole process seems at that particular plant. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Records are fickle things and it's sometimes worth it to take your time on them. It looks like they get a new record every few minutes after putting the label on the plates manually, adding the biscuit, allowing it to preheat and press, cooling, and then cutting away the flash. Obviously, it was probably slowed down a bit for the filming. At United Record Pressing we worked with machines that were over 60 years old, and even with them, the labeling process, heating, pressing, and flash removal were all automated. I was a machine operator, so I was really only there to ensure they kept running and fix them when they broke (which they did often, to be fair, being 60 years old.) If we got less than 800 records in an 8 hour shift from one machine, that was considered a bad day. I'd be surprised if they got more than a few hundred a shift. That's a very limited sample size, though. I could be completely wrong. It does seem more laid back there and the equipment is far more modern, so I bet it would be much more fun to work at that plant. I definitely miss pressing records sometimes.

@mrn234

Sounds awesome but it was probably a very hard and warm job :D But that the process ist kinda "slow" is probably one of the reasons why they release records only for a big musician with a couple thousand in the US, Europe ect and smaller musicians or bands only a couple hundred only world wide. But the demand is there for more pressings at once when you see how fast some sell... sometimes you cant even wait a day after release or you not getting one without a pre order.

This gives me an even greater appreciation for Pet Sounds.

This is part of what makes Jack so great,...he gets into intricate details of music and how everything works. Beautiful things do come out of Detroit

Great documentary, but I'd like to clarify something. As a student going to school for studio recording, live sound, rough through final mixing of tracks through Pro tools, DAW music production, and training to be a studio musician, I'd like to educate you all on the differences cost wise on recording digitally. With analog you have to have a wide analog console that is expensive to operate, use, and maintain. Also not many studios (unless legendary) will accommodate the typical artist or musician that needs an engineer and studio hours for cheap. Also you have to use a tape recorder which needs tape reel WHICH IS RARE AND VERY EXPENSIVE to come by if you want to record analog so making mistakes have to be minimal in order to save money on tape reel. Plus these machines that have been restored and functional have not been updated and parts are rare to come by. So Jack White probably paid a fortune for each and every machine in his factory to be fixed, cleaned up, and working. I know there are probably many fees for damaged LPs, broken parts, etc.) that come with being an artist or having your music being released at TMR. When it comes to digital, all you need is a computer monitor(Mac preferably) a console(digital or analog), an interface, a direct box, and a purchased software of Pro Tools or something similar that is compatible to your computer brand. With Pro Tools you can record and re record without having to worry about extra costs when needing multiple takes. All the artist have to worry about cost wise is the hour cost and the staff hired to record and mix your tracks. There is nothing wrong with digital or analog. Both have their perks and faults. But the reason it took over the music industry is because it cost less and is more efficient on getting your music recorded and getting it out there.

Jack White just perfectly described why I still have a reel to reel player sitting in my living room and connected to my amplifier along with the cord that plugs into my iPhone. I love that he is so passionate about the old school process, especially the cool factor of the mechanical components spinning as the sound flows out.

I love every part of this! Bucket list destination for sure!

Adam, I love that you're still doing stuff, especially like this, after Mythbusters. This was a great vid.

Can't believe I missed this video till now, very happy about Vinyl making another push

I grew up listening to vinyl as a little boy in the 80's. I was obsessed with my dads record collection. About 6 months ago I got an itch to buy a record player. After years of buying highly compressed cds and downloading songs, I was missing my childhood. My dad gave me his collection and I feverishly bought vinyl at every turn. Sadly, my dad passed away a few months after he gave me his collection. So records took on even more meaning for me. In a few short months, I went from somebody who was tired of music, to being completely back in love with it. The sound, the process of learning, building my collection, the dynamic range and like Jack White said, I loved being far more involved in the process. Even cleaning my dads old collection was an enjoyable task. Buying multiple presses to hear little difference became an obsession. I am loving every goddamn minute of it!

God i love what Jack is doing. such a great man, such an important role he plays in the music world industry.

24:39 Hearing this while using m50s headphones, makes me happy.

this is such a great video, interesting hearing Jack's thoughts on analogue.

I never knew Adam had such an affinity for music recording. He asked some really great questions. Such an amazing gem on KZread!

@@Delphia I understand your point of view, however, I find that there is something beautiful about the craft. No, it's not 100% accurate; but then, if you're going with that argument : vinyl is definitely *not* the most accurate way of reproducing music, period. Going this direction, a CD is directly engraved by the laser with 100% accuracy. Best of all, a digital file is binary code so it will remain the same at a chosen compression level... I mean, you listen to vinyls for one and only thing that makes sense: for the sake of nostalgia. Period. The rest of it - sound quality, warmth (whatever that means...), dynamic - factually, digital has a *better* dynamic range, simply, we over-compress, and it's have less headroom than analog, and digital compression when a signal is clipping is crap and not like a circuit heating up and getting colored like in analog. Apart of those two things, and that there will never be a latency problem in analog, it's irrelevant in regards of today's technology. So at this point, what would you prefer? Investing millions for a technology that's irrelevant and will never be accurate in any way, shape or form... Or hiring people with skills no one wants anymore, making them happy, in a factory that is - for once! - not driven by savage capitalism by simply for the fun of creating lovely objects? I'm baffled that the reactions such as yours, like if you needed to be competitive in vinyl. For once there is a business that's built as a philanthropic endeavour, building beautiful things that we don't need. AH, I love this. BTW, I work at Totem Acoustic, a company making hi-fi speakers. All the speakers could be assembled by machines in China, or "serial-workers". Instead, we assemble all of those speakers by hand. It's been 30 years the brand is going strong. Even the electronics are all assembled by hand. We'll end up with an electricity crisis, machines will stop and only an handful of folks like me will be able to use their hands. Craft is so beautiful. Makes me sad really... the lost respect of such form of arts... *sigh*

​@@jas_bataille Based on this year's reporting with the Tennessee Secretary of State, it appears Jack White is starting to come to grips with the realities of operating a business, and the factory is beginning to implement stream-lined technologies to help make Third Man Records become more competitive. His creditors aren't too happy with over $1M in late payments. I wasn't talking about CD or other duplication technologies in my comment. I was literally poking fun of the inefficiency of using humans to analyze the quality of each vinyl record, when laser scanning is faster, more accurate, and recoups its costs in about three months per device. The factory is facing some financial pressures right now, and are looking at every method possible to stay in business.

Tested Didn't even think to look in the description. Doh!

credit where credit's due - The Blumlein microphone configuration is named for its inventor, one of the great pioneers of electrical engineering, Englishman Alan Blumlein. It is (or at least was) a very common, very classic arrangement for recording stereo. Blumlein was born in London, of German, Scottish and French ancestry.

This has made me appreciate vinyl so much! I want a plant of my own now.

Blumlein configuration was created by Alan Blumlein in the UK. The configuration in the video is a blumlein rotated 90 degrees. Blumlein facts. Those are free. :D

I was just thinking that the guy who does FOH at Third Man ought to know who Alan Blumlein was, but everybody's always got something they just don't know!

I've been there and live near there. 😊

Thank you very much for this tour. What a place.

What an absolutely gorgeous place! There's so much love in the design and build of that place, so cool to see!

Sweet! I've got to stop by Third Man Records in the next week or two but it's such a dangerous place because of my vinyl record addiction. LOL Beautiful store and building.

What a beautiful, creative space from the mind of a modern musical genius. It's a walk back in time to when music really mattered to people.
