Recording Notes

  • The Hammond organ was likely recorded live in a studio setting, capturing the raw energy of the performance.
  • The Leslie speaker contributes to the organ's swirling, slightly distorted character.
  • The sound is relatively dry, suggesting minimal use of reverb or other ambience effects during recording.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a Hammond organ VST or physical instrument routed through a Leslie speaker simulator or a real Leslie cabinet.
  • Adjust the Leslie's speed and intensity to match the characteristic warble of the original recording.
  • Use a touch of overdrive or saturation to replicate the gritty texture of the organ tone.
  • EQ the organ to emphasize the midrange frequencies, helping it cut through the mix.
  • Consider using a slight chorus effect to enhance the swirling effect of the Leslie speaker.
