But that type of "analog" instrument isn't congruous with digital or analog recording. Choosing to mic up a Hammond organ is a matter of taste. |
I go to as many concerts as I can in KC. The Hammond B3, etc. is a staple in live shows. Off the top of my head it's the centerpiece keyboard for Springsteen, John Legend, Sade's band and others. I even think Roger Water's band had a B3. It's that "sound" that's unmistakable.
