[GreenKeys] Setting up Audacity

Sat Oct 31 13:36:31 EDT 2020

Steve,

Do you have a mic that you can plug into the front of the tower? Then 
just put the mic near the speaker and you will have the loop!

When I first started playing with MMTTY & ITTY on a laptop, I couldnt 
figure out how MMTTY was getting the ITTY audio - thought it was leakage 
somewhere, but finally realized the laptop's mic was live and sending 
the speaker audio into MMTTY. Tested it by whistling.

I don't get up from under the bench very easily, either!

have fun,

Duncan
