Tone Profile

The organ sound is a bright, cutting, and slightly overdriven tone that provides a lively and energetic foundation for the song. It has a distinct 90s pop vibe, reminiscent of classic keyboard-driven Latin pop hits.

Recording Notes

• The organ was likely recorded with a close microphone on the Leslie speaker cabinet to capture the direct sound and rotating effect.
• Some subtle overdrive or saturation might have been added during mixing to give the organ tone a bit of edge and presence.
• EQ was used to brighten the organ's tone, ensuring it cuts through the mix effectively.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Hammond B3 emulation VST or a real Hammond organ.
• Use a Leslie speaker simulator or, if possible, a real Leslie cabinet. Adjust the speed of the rotating horn and rotor to match the original recording.
• Apply a touch of overdrive or saturation to the organ signal to replicate the slightly aggressive tone.
• Use EQ to boost the high frequencies and cut any muddy low frequencies to ensure the organ sits well in the mix.
• Experiment with microphone placement on the Leslie cabinet if using a real cabinet to find the sweet spot for capturing the rotating effect.
