Please do tell your gearsluttiness equip setup and signal chain to produce vocals like that! And yes - how did you emulate that boston vocal harmony sound - are the harmonies processed? Are you using melodyne?

Thanks for the nice words, guys.
Y'know, I didn't do anything too crazy. I tracked each harmony four times, I think. I panned them around a little. I used a little melodyne in spots where needed, just to clean up a few things.
I sent all of those into a stereo group, which had the following inserts and sends.
The inserts were: UAD-1 LA3A -> UAD-1 Neve 1073 (high boost, cut some high mids).
For sends, I had the UAD-1 Dimension D (which may be the mystery factor!), and then a little CSR Reverb Room, and then a little UAD-1 Plate 140.
The lead vocals used similar inserts and effects, but on a separate group.
My hardware chain is listed above, but again, it's:
Neumann TLM49 -> Pacifica pre amp -> RME Fireface 800 -> Cubase 4
Thanks again to all who listened, and keep the comments coming, because they've been really nice!
