The information about the recording is correct, from what I have read and heard about the Trinity sessions, which I think is a church in Toronto Canada. However, I'm not sure what type of P.A. speaker was used.
It was recorded direct to 2 track DAT. The hissing sound is not tape hiss, which you wouldn't get from digital, but rather the air-condition unit.
The idea is not so much "true to timbre" vocals but an accoustic 3 dementional recreation of the actual event. Which, although dated, still is very,very good. That, couple with great songs, makes this a must have for anyone who visits this site.
BTW, the "Junkies" allow audience taping, so there are a lot of Trinity "like" recordings out there. The only problem
is that the soundman can, at times, be a little heavy handed with the bass.
In response to this, I would be willing to burn someone a "Junkies" show if they will do the same for someone else. The first one who responds with the correct answer to this question will be the lucky winner:
What was the brand of mics used for the classic Mercury tree recordings and who was the main engineer responsible for the recordings?
