Mar 7, 2010 - Thanks, Pascal! I'm really happy with those mics and the MOTU interface. They do an excellent job of capturing the guitar and the noise floor is significantly lower than anything I've toyed with before. That custom Elixir set uses mediums for all of the strings that are tuned down and lights for the strings that stay at "standard". The result is, more or less, the same string tension when tuned down to DADGAD and the extra beefiness on the treble strings keeps them from sounding thin.

Dec 8, 2010 - I enjoyed your cover of this arrangement. My family played the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band version at my father's funeral.

Thanks for this work, well done, Scott! Pascal PS: these Elexir 0.13's are my favorites... my guitar just prefers these...
