Tone Profile

Recording Notes

• The Hammond B3 organ was likely recorded live in the studio along with the other musicians.
• The Leslie speaker cabinet was probably miked with a combination of close and distant microphones to capture both the direct sound and the room ambience.
• Given the era, the recording was likely done on analog tape, which would have imparted a subtle warmth and compression to the organ sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Hammond B3 emulation and a Leslie speaker simulator.
• Experiment with different microphone placements on the Leslie cabinet to find the sweet spot.
• Add a touch of tube saturation or overdrive to the organ signal to emulate the vintage grit.
• Use a subtle tape emulation plugin to add warmth and compression.
