Recording Notes

• The song features a Hammond organ sound, likely recorded with a microphone placed near the Leslie speaker.
• The slightly overdriven tone suggests pushing the gain on the organ or the Leslie amplifier.
• Engineer likely captured the direct sound from the Leslie cabinet with a dynamic microphone.
• The raw energy of the performance contributes significantly to the overall character of the organ tone.

Recreation Tips

• Use a Hammond organ VST or a real Hammond L-100 to start.
• Route the organ signal through a Leslie speaker simulator or a real Leslie 147.
• Experiment with overdrive or saturation plugins to achieve the desired level of grit and harmonic richness.
• Use a dynamic microphone model plugin, like an AKG D12, to capture the Leslie's output.
• EQ to emphasize the mid frequencies for a present and cutting sound.
