[GreenKeys] Setting up Audacity

Sat Oct 31 14:30:53 EDT 2020

Hi Steve,

I also used to use a patch cord to go from speaker out to line in on my 
sound card to record ITTY but then found that if you enable 'stereo mix' 
on your sound card and then choose that as the input for Audacity, it 
will record anything you hear from your speakers....works great and no 
need to access the back of  your computer!
