Yep, I've got a Duet running into an iMac. Excellent unit and it works perfectly with the the Apple core audio drivers.

At 4:02pm on November 30, 2008, Hee Haw Jones said…: Hey Dr. Mikey, you mentioned on the recording group that when Audacity exports your music to mp3, the volume is way to low. Just wondering if you've heard any good tips on that issue?

I find that clicking on "normalize" before exporting helps, but the volume is still quite low. It would be great to figure this out! Maybe I'll start an Audacity discussion group.

We should find a way to get together. Perhaps I won't have to crap out of Merlefest early.

Yeah, 'Frosty' turned into a heck of a guitar.. Mario's building some of the best out there now, without a doubt.

Tell us more about yourself (place a Bio here if you wish)

I learned three chords on a friend's Stratocaster when I was a freshman in college (about 40 years ago). I played acoustic six-string for about 25 years, then attended a Steve Kaufman workshop. Strangely enough, even after that workshop, I still thought I knew how to play. Just slow to get the message, I guess.

Steve told me about a flatpicking "camp" that he was starting at Maryville College, so I attended that very first year. I realized in pretty short order that I did NOT know how to play the guitar. So I've been back every year trying to figure it out. So far, no success, but I have so much fun I keep returning year after year. Any year now, I expect to find self actualization as a player.

Do you have a website?
