How do I connect my speakers to G5?

I have powered monitors with 1/4" INS. What do I need and where do I plug in?

You mean 1/4" INPUTS surely?

You need a 1/8" stereo mini-jack to twin mono 1/4" jacks (or to red and white phono plugs and a couple of adapters).

Radioshack.

Plug into the line out on the back of the G5, the front socket is for headphones, which will work, but won't sound as good.

Yes, I meant INS! Ok, that solves the speaker issue.

Now, I want to record synths into Logic. I have a small mixer:

Get two of those cables.

Connect the output from your mixer to the line in on the back of your G5, select "line-in" in the audio preferences and it should show up in Logic as a signal.

I've moved this to the Digital Audio forum, you'll get more answers there.

Thanks! I am off to Radio Shack now.

BTW, my recent computer is a dual G4 and I had a Delta 66 sound card and everything was fine and dandy. However, the card doesn't fit in the new slots on the G5, so M-Audio offers a replacement for $55. So, is there a sound quality difference?

All I want to do is listen to iTunes and occasionaly record analog synths into Logic.
