Anyway, I'm really impressed with the vocal and acoustic guitar tones on Bernard Fanning's "Tea & Sympathy" album. Would you mind shedding some light on the recording/mixing chains?

Admire your work,

Hi, I think mostly we used Neumann KMS105's on vocal and acoustic guitar. Side rejection is incredible on those and was much needed as we did the vocals and ac. gtr live. There's a hi frequency component I don't much like but it wasn't enough to worry about. We also used a 'Telefunken 251' reissue (>Neve 1073(EQbypassed)>Distressor (distortion always 'on' in my house)>PT) on a couple of songs. Just the one mic on 'Watch Over Me'. Great, great mic that re-issue.
Mixed on an SSL G.
