Subject:CdBaby song question

Rafael,
 
Thank you very much for your complements and your question regarding our CD.  As I mentioned in a previous note, the CD is an interesting compilation of sounds using both vintage AND current music technology.  There's lot's of great vintage guitar and amp combinations used on the CD (our guitar player is a great player and a collector of vintage guitars and amps), and I've used a combination of real hammond organ and various hardware and software synths, including VB3 for the solo on "Picking Hopes".  We've received some rave reviews for the production.
 
To answer your question, the intro church organ in "I Need Shelter" is a software VST called SonikSynth2. The intro begins with the SonikSynth2 church organ and then the real Hammond begins shortly thereafter and eventually takes over from the church organ.  From my perspective the song needed a powerful introduction, and the SonikSynth2 church organ sound had exactly the power that I was looking for. 
 
For those of you who are fans of classic rock, please give our site a listen.. (and add us to your friends list!!).  As Hammond/clonewheel fans there are a couple of songs I would recommend you listen to:
 
"40 Days" nice blues shuffle  
"I Need Shelter" unique combination of church organ/B3
"Let It Go" some really nice hammond grind in the bridge
"Picking Hopes" features an organ solo performed using Genuine Soundware VB3
"Lone Ranger" features mellotron flutes and B3 and me singing, ok maybe forget this one..  ;-)
 
Feedback is always welcome.. Thanks again Rafael!!
 
Regards,
Craig MacDonald

Wonder about the Torontonian folks that mentioned a CD from here:

http://www.cdbaby. com/cd/11steps

QUESTION : what church organ sample is used at

' I need shelter' track ?

IMO, it's a fine unusual creation beyond the limits of two guitars, bass and drums usual scope.

Best,

Rafael
