I do have a mic, put want to NOT disturb the misses for the long period of time I may be recording.  But I do think I have found the answer.  Will let you know after the fact, like tomorrow if it worked!

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
