We see Jeremy Allen White, as Springsteen, writing and recording “Nebraska” on a four-track cassette recorder in the bedroom of a rented New Jersey lake house in 1981-82. Authenticity to the period was key for the sound team.

  • “We had all the vocals Jeremy had done.
  • We had all the tracks I was given by Bruce from the original four tracks.
  • So from that, we were able to go into the editing process of the film, which took about eight months.” Popular on Variety Ruder notes that they sourced four-track recorders, and the Echoplex, the tape delay box “that was kind of an iconic sound of that album.” “It was kind of a dream job, to be honest,” says Ruder as he talks with fond nostalgia about the four-track recorder used in the film, the TEAC Tascam Portastudio 144.
