The Raconteurs have released a clip on Instagram, which shows Jack White mixing a new track by using a walkie talkie from his car. The video previews a new Raconteurs track, which is called “Shine The Light On Me,” as White uses an FM radio transmitter to broadcast it to his car.
White explains that the band does this while communicating with an engineer inside so that he can hear the mix in real time and see what it would sound like on the radio. “This speeds up the process of mixing greatly and reduces the amount of remixes that occur after the 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,” the band wrote on Instagram.

The Raconteurs are also set to release a new 3-inch single on Record Store Day, which takes place on April 19th.
