I agree with you about the Leslie "pop" that occurs at speed changes. My 760, as you know, is a solid state unit, but the Combo-2 preamp has that signature pop, and it drives me nuts! I think there's an alternative switch available that is totally silent, which would be a Godsend! Great video, as usual! 🎹🎹🎹🎹🔕
Hello, fantastic explained!!!! I play Hammond B3 vst plug in from the Us Company Collab3 and my Sound ist exact the same to the old Hammond B3 organ!!! Best Regards! Jose Movilandia 😎💥👍👍👍
This is a bunch of very good information explained very clearly. So helpful…and, in my case, timely! Thanks very much! I just had my tired and ill 147 serviced (sounds great now), so with your helpful tips, I am ready to get my hands dirty.
Interesting you do the playing and recording engineering too. I like that hard pan touch. Do you think producers do much editing to your recordings? I may be way off but when I'm jamming with my LP stereo rig I notice that the Hammond doesn't always cut through the mix as expected. Being a big Floyd fan I saw in a recent book that they recorded a separate "Leslie sound" for second track on Dark Side - On the Run. You can hear the noise of the Leslie going around in the beginning of the track, I could be way wrong on what exactly is happening.
Hello!! I guess it depends on the producer. Usually they will use one pass of my Hammond. There is good energy in one pass rather than 5 passes that are cut up and edited together. Hammond is also very difficult to edit because of the constantly changing sound w the drawbars. Always best to try to play it once, right. Thanks for watching!!
Nice vid thanks, just got a Leslie 145 for some recording but unfortunately it sounds like a washing machine full of spanners at the moment - so bit of work needed :-) The one thing I struggle with the most is mixing a full on rock Hammond with rock guitars (I don't see many tips for actually mixing hammond). Obviously I try to arrange the parts so that the guitars and organ are not fighting for the same space/frequencies, but it's sometimes unavoidable. I also try and use inverse EQ (if that's the right word) to give them their own space e.g. if I boost the guitars at 2k then I reduce the organ at 2k and so on. That helps some but can end up changing the sound of the organ. Any tips on that would be massively appreciated. Cheers!!
Hello!! I will admit I have no experience mixing. My job is to deliver parts that are not in conflict w the guitars which you are right is not always easy. I do that by changing register or in the case that is unavoidable I go to the drawbars to carve out a sound that is different. I find that pedal steel and B3 live in the same space and can start robbing from each other in the track. The struggle is real haha. Sorry I don’t have mix tips!! Appreciate you checking out the channel :)
