hey guys i got another question for ya...

I listened to some jack johnson music and he sings so low and soft yet you can hear his vocals so cleanly and they sound so bright

when i try to sing like he does in an average sized room with carpet floor my vocals sound dull and muddy

could anyone give me any advice on maybe where he mite stand while singing or what kind of room or mic he uses

thanks

There's an interview about his most recent album at a "green" studio. Forget the name of the studio.
In TapeOp I think, but it could be Mix.
They go into pretty good detail about mic choices, source isolation, and the like.

When I get a chance to thumb through the more recent issues I have of each, I'll let you know.
Hopefully you find out before then.

Soapfloats, their studio is called Brushfire studios, and it is a very interesting interview. Robert Carranza, the engineer, doesn't go into any details about equipment or technique, but more emphasizes the importance of songwriting and overall emotion. Totally worth reading though considering Carranza has worked with Jack Johnson, the Mars Volta, Beck, and Los Lobos. And the solar-powered studio sounds pretty cool.
