Ideally you should use a USB or firewire interface...

Though with a jack-to-minijack you could hook up an amp to the mac pretty easily, but you will lose instant monitoring if your amp doesn't have more than one output. Aside from that, setting it to the right volume can be done, but needs more time and tweeking. Most recording software has monitoring built-in, but depending on the processor's speed you may get a delay, which is really annoying. For that reason I prefer direct monitoring through hardware. I use jack-to-minijack and minijack-to-jack plugs constantly for headphones and that works really well. -- Ruud -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
