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.

Love it. Thanks for sharing, Mike. Starting with the 57s here!

Thanks for the video. I like the content and really appreciate the insights.

Mike, how about making some tutorials with ascending licks & runs, as it would really be helpful. Thanks for your consideration.

Great info, thanks Mike!

The room makes all the difference if a Leslie has mechanical noises that make close miking difficult.

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.

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!!
