Recording Notes

• The Vox Continental organ was likely recorded through a Vox AC30 amplifier, known for its distinctive chime and overdrive characteristics.
• A Neumann U67 microphone, a studio workhorse known for its smooth and balanced sound, was probably used to capture the amplifier's output.
• The signal chain aimed to capture a raw, slightly overdriven sound that could fill the sonic space and contribute to the song's melancholic atmosphere.

Recreation Tips

• Use a Vox Continental VST or a similar transistor organ emulation as your primary sound source.
• Route the organ signal through an amp simulator set to emulate a Vox AC30, adding a touch of overdrive for harmonic richness.
• Experiment with microphone emulations to capture the amp's sound, focusing on a balanced frequency response.
• Adjust the gain staging throughout the signal chain to achieve a raw, slightly overdriven sound without excessive distortion.
• Consider adding a subtle amount of reverb to enhance the organ's presence and blend it with the overall mix.
