I'm not B3 cork sniffer, but I think that once you run one of these VST's (B3x/Vb3) through a real mic'ed up Leslie, you'll fool pretty much anyone in a full band mix. Awhile back, I produced an album for a band where the keyboard player tracked with an Xk3 through a weird hodge-podge solid state Leslie with a tube preamp. Seeing the midi out plug on the XK3, I grabbed a midi cable into the DAW as well. When i mixed the album, i discarded his audio tracks and just ran the midi track through VB3 (V1 not II) and into my mic'ed up Leslie 145. Years later and the guy is still raving about what a great sound I managed to get out of his organ. -
I certainly didn't intend to turn your thread upside-down. Pardon any derail on my part.😎 -
I don’t appreciate the tone of most of the replies to my OP. There’s mostly been a negative, critical response to my original post. No-one has said ‘hey, I checked out your idea and I think it sounds…” either good or bad. Most have sought to school me on things I’m already well versed in. It could have been a good discussion but it’s just been a bummer. Oh well. -
Listen to some of the first recordings of Jobim tunes, expecially the ones done by João Gilberto. The harmony is very different from what most play today. Years ago I was at the Zinc bar in NYC listening to some of the heavy hitters on the NY Braz music scene (many who've moved back to Brazil) play Girl From Ipanena with the hippest chord changes I ever heard on that tune (which let's face it is considered muzak by most gringos!). I quickly got out my palm pilot and stylus (I said it was years ago!) and transcribed the chords while they played. The next day I looked at the transcription. It was the stock changes except the first bar of the B section and the first bar of the last A were the relative minors - i.e. (in the key of F) they played Ebmin7 for the first bar of the B section (instead of Gb MAJ7) , and Dmin7 for the first bar of the last A (instead of F MAJ7). It totally transformed the tune (in my opinion anyway). Try it! -
I think is is generally acknowledged the standard key is F - as it is in the old Real Book, the Chuck Sher Real Book, the Almir Chediak bossa nova book #2 (as well as every gig I've played it on). By the second half, dazzjazz probably meant the B or bridge section, where the last four chords before the return of the A section are Gm7 Ebm6 G7 and C7b9.

Yes! And also big, good knobs on a large panel. Well, in this case I'm almost sure there were problems with the video camera, because I noticed the issue while editing, much before uploading the video on YT. While I was shooting the video, I had set up the lights and the camera settings exactly like in previous videos, but the outcome was so bad that for the first time ever, I had to attempt corrections in the editing stage. It was only partially useful, and it added some artifacts to the image (you can notice that on my hands, for example). Btw, thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. -

I always reduce video to 1024x720 before uploading to YT. It will still get compressed but not horribly grainy. -
