Well, this is the project then. I'm not going to bother talking about the mic placements or technical side of things as these aspects are cover in the PDF files at the end of this blog.In this project I had the opportunity to record a Hammond Organ, (pictured right) running through a Leslie rotating speaker cabinet. (pictured below right). I'd never had an opprtunity before this to be around a Hammond/Leslie combination before and never really thought that I would ever realistically get a chance.
As the Hammond was cranked up it the power of it was unbelievable. When it played notes in the low end you could feel the vibrations through your body. The rotating cabinet put out an incredible sound and as can be seen right we miced it up top and bottom. The horns that can be seen at the top cavity in the back of the cabinet right, show the two horns, one of which is blocked and only really used as a counter weight.
At this point I'd like to thank the guys in the band, 'Aussie Bloke' (Mark Richardson, Rob Riley, Tony Lavis and Emmo Granozio), as well as Tristan Louth-Robins who helped with the bump in and bump out of the main recording session. Below is a mp3 of the recorded song "Manwhore" as well as all the related PDF's.

great sound on the recording. very warm.
Nice sounds. I reckon it would have been awesome if thee was this wonderful "ring" in the snare drum! I liked the fact that the vocals were relatively dry and not-affected.
lol. The singer (to me) reminds me of Marilyn Manson so I've got this vision of some crazy guy with weird makeup on.
