Recording Notes

• The Hammond C-3 organ was played live and fed into a Leslie 147 rotary speaker.
• The Leslie speaker was likely miked with a Neumann U67, capturing the distinctive swirling sound.
• The raw sound of the organ and Leslie was integral to the tone, with minimal post-processing.
• Live performance and recording likely contributed to the dynamic and somewhat unpredictable nature of the sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Hammond organ VST or physical instrument, aiming for a C-3 model if possible.
• Route the organ signal through a rotary speaker simulator or, ideally, a real Leslie speaker.
• Experiment with overdrive or distortion plugins to achieve a raw and slightly gritty tone.
• Use a microphone plugin to add some character to the recording.
• Adjust the speed and intensity of the rotary effect to match the original recording.
