Wish I knew and could help ya out here... id say learn how to sing like him and youd be good with any setup because that boy can sing. He's one of my favorite vocalists of recent...has such a distinct style.

he sure can sing!! he's got great pocket with his vocals but the sound on that particular song stands out. I've heard he's been known to use a shure SM7b which would make sense on this track cause it's a close sound. |

Anyone has suggestions and ideas how to reproduce this softness in the main vocals which embeds it incredibly well into the mix? I believe that one part of the process is by using hard chromatic auto tuning on the dry vocals and mixing it ontop. Would be great to find comments and discussions about that? I also believe that its not only the mic but the magic in the signal processing. I'll keep posting after some research that I've done and experiments. | |

A lot of what you're hearing is the 251 it has a built in compression and detail that is unique.

| I have seen him live and know a number of people that have worked with him (I had his old bass player in the studio this week), and Jason is an amazing singer. I highly doubt that the tracks were "strongly corrected", it would not surprise me if there was no correction at all.

People hear anything that sounds round, compressed, or unique in a vocal and they think correction. We have Glee to thank for that.

he recorded his voice DI into a hackeysack with processed just a touch of chai latte. Nah, I kid, he's alright. Good singer.
