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

- 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.

- I'm doing better. It's been a while since I've seen you but I can see by your picture you still look the same. Age has yellowed you some but your still square as ever. Did you have your teeth whitened? Glad I found you here.

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.

In my humble abilities I have been fortunate enough to use some great picks on guitars that I do not deserve. I have several tortoise shells that dear friends gave me long ago. They are like playing with a fingernail and even shape to your fingers...
This is the club for all you pickers who have
discovered the excellent Blue Chip picks.
Here is a group for people who have Martin Guitars, or is looking for one, or if you just really like Martin Guitars!
This group is for members who are working with the 8-Volume Flatpicking Essentials course written by Dan Miller and Tim May. This is the place to meet others who are working with the course and share your arrangements.
Here's the place to discuss and showcase our favorite gear.
This is a group for all fans of Tony Rice, and those who appreciate all that he has contributed to the world of acoustic guitar flatpicking.
This is the place for those of us who love Norman Blake! Feel free to comment on Norman's technique, albums, instruments, philosophy, concert performances, or anything else that is Norman related.
