Recording the A-102 with the Neo Ventilator II

Here’s a recording I did with the Neo Ventilator into Garageband, with just a touch of eq added.

I recorded the two channels coming out of the Neo Vent into a stereo track, although I may be a better approach to take two mono channels, so the width can be varied easier for a stronger effect.  Not quite happy yet with the slow and fast speeds of the rotors nor the rampup time, I’ll have to experiment with that some more.

Jim Alfredson has done a great review of the Neo Vent, and seems to be able to record a more pronounced effect from the pedal, I’ll have to try and figure out what he’s doing different.

 

First recordings

Here’s one of the first recordings I did with my new (to me) A-102. Still a lot to figure out on how to best mix the beast. Not to mention practicing playing it properly.

The Hammond A-102 on this track was recorded using the organ line out through the Vent into the audio interface, and then straight into Garageband. A bit of EQ was added (rolling off the bass a bit), and the track was sent to the master reverb for better blend with the drums. No other effects were used.
