      @@ikereeves3522 Yes, it has pedal sustain. Years ago I replaced the Kreuger unit on my B3 with a Trek string bass. Much better! I still have the B3 and two 122RV Leslies but mostly play the Viscount Legend now. It's an outstanding instrument and a great value. No more hauling one or more Leslies. The sound through my PA system blows everyone away. By the way, I too am one of those old-timers. Fortunately, the longer keyboard players play , the better we get. I still have lots to learn.

    • @MrTreppeda
      @MrTreppeda  Месяц назад

      Hi Pat. Having played the B3/ Leslie 122 combo professionally for many years, the Viscount DB5 definitely sounds different. However, nearly 100% of the audiences thought I was playing a B3 with Leslie. The sound was that convincing. The Viscount legend that I use now is an order of magnitude better than the DB5. I don't have to make any compromises when playing because it is exactly like sitting at my B3. In some respects it's better then playing my B3. Primarily because I play bass with my foot and not my hand so the ability to route the bass pedals to a different output is a big plus by eliminating the Leslie and vibrato effects from the bass.

      The organ has direct outputs into a small mixer. There is one microphone over the drums also into the mixer. The output of the mixer feeds a stereo amplifier that feeds two pairs of two-way speakers that are in the room. The audio out from the mixer is feeding a Canon digital single lens reflex camera. I was just attempting to capture a "decent" sound using a very simple quick and dirty setup.

    • @MrTreppeda
      @MrTreppeda  Месяц назад

      The organ was recorded using the direct outputs into a mixer. In the room, the mixer is feeding an amplifier and 4 Carvin 15 inch two-way speakers. These are lightweight portable speakers. Unfortunately, Carvin went out of business a few years ago. A single mic was used to record the drums. That mic picked up a little bit of the live sound of the organ.

      I wasn't exactly sure what you were referring to because "Cute" was played in C and "Shiny Stockings" in F. I just checked the RUclips playback and noticed both were a half step down. I did a little research and found a post dated March 24, 2017 as part of a discussion of this issue. It stated that RUclips makes money on the amount of time spent watching videos so they slow them down slightly. I'm not sure if this is true but I'm going to check out some other videos. I do know that at least for my recording of "Cute" the playback key is one half step lower than what I posted.

      Bill,
      Thanks for the comments. You’re right, there are times when I over use the drawbars but let me explain the reason, I play with them in the first place. I love big bands. The Hammond organ is the only instrument in the world that lets me emulate the dynamics, subtleties, variety of sounds, colors and nuances of a big band. Hammonds provide all of this at my fingertips. Brass players have mutes they can use. Hammonds have drawbars. My musical influences are bands like Ellington, Buddy Rich, Stan Kenton and Basie. This list goes on and on. Equally influential are the great arrangers such as Quincy Jones, Frank Foster, Nelson Riddle, and Sammy Nestico to name just a few. These guys are constantly changing musical colors by moving both the melody and harmonies among the different sections of the band. That’s what’s I’m trying to emulate with the drawbars. Many organists limit themselves to two or three sound on the upper manual and one on the lower. I can’t when there’s so much at my disposal. I do occasionally over due it as is evidently the case for you on this piece. One other point. The Hammond organ is comprised of an upper manual, lower manual and two octaves of bass pedals. Why would I give up one third of the instrument to play bass with my left hand when I can play the same lines with my left foot. Besides, I save money by not hiring a guitar play and comping chords with my left hand. I’m assuming you’re a fan of the B3. Who are some of you favorites?

      Thanks Frank. I agree, working the drawbar changes are annoying to watch but I think it make some sense sonically. Listen to "Tenderly" and "My Romance" that I recently uploaded. There's no video and even more drawbar manipulation but lots of subtle changes. I was influenced primarily by big band arrangers and not organ players. I like to move the music among the "horn" and "string" sections. I'm not a big fan of using just two or three drawbar setting through out a song when the Hammond offers a multitube of colors and timbers. I do appreciate the comment because there are times when I definitely overdue it. This is because these are unrehearsed recordings and I don't always find the exact sound I'm looking for at the first try.
