Recording Notes

• The Hammond B-3 organ was likely recorded in a well-treated studio environment to minimize unwanted room reflections.
• The Leslie 122 cabinet was mic'd to capture the swirling effect of the rotating horn and bass rotor.
• The rotary speaker effect is a crucial element of this tone, contributing significantly to the overall vibe.
• No effects were added in the recording. All tone from the Leslie 122.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Hammond B-3 or similar tonewheel organ emulation.
• Use a Leslie speaker simulator plugin or a real Leslie cabinet to achieve the rotary speaker effect.
• Adjust the speed and intensity of the rotary effect to match the swirling character of the original tone.
• Consider the microphone placement on the Leslie cabinet to capture the full stereo image of the rotary effect. Use 2 microphones to get a full stereo image.
