XO, again

Hi Rob.

I know you've already been asked hundreds of times but I'm such a big fan of your work with Elliott Smith and I have to ask you a couple of questions.
1. mic placement on vocals. Are they close miking? Multiple microphones? And what kind of mics?

2. Compressor on the vocals. I read you were using distressor and 1176's. Is it hard compressing to pull up his whispers? What were the settings(difficult q, I know)? Great work has been done anyway, can hear the voice kind of distorting in a warm way on the higher frequencies, very cool.

3. What kind of eq has been done to the vox? All harmonies and double-tracked voices are very well seperated. How? Compliments.

4. Overheads. What kind of compressors have you used? Long attack and release times, revolver style?

Once again, big fan. Keep up the good work
