Recording Notes

• The organ was run through a Fender Twin Reverb amplifier, known for its clean and shimmering tone, which added depth and character to the organ's sound.
• The Leslie speaker's rotating horns created a swirling, tremolo-like effect that is crucial to the organ's haunting and atmospheric quality. The speed and intensity of the Leslie speaker were likely adjusted to create the desired level of movement and depth.
• The Electro-Voice RE20 was likely placed a few feet away from the Leslie speaker cabinet to capture the full, spacious sound of the rotating horns.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Hammond organ sound sample or virtual instrument. The Concert E-100 model is ideal, but other Hammond models can be used as a starting point.
• Use a rotary speaker emulator plugin to recreate the sound of a Leslie speaker. Experiment with different rotor speeds and acceleration settings to achieve the desired swirling effect.
• If possible, use a clean tube amp model or plugin to add warmth and character to the organ sound. A Fender Twin Reverb is a good choice.
• Use a microphone emulator plugin to recreate the sound of an Electro-Voice RE20 microphone. This will help capture the nuances of the original recording.
• Experiment with reverb and delay to add space and depth to the organ sound. A plate reverb or tape delay can be used to create a sense of atmosphere.
