I just bought a Behringer Xenyx 502 mixer for use with a Shure microphone. I just want to record vocals with it. I didn't think about the inputs from the mixer to the Mac until after I bought it. The mixer has two 1/4 out's. I bought a cable that has two mono 1/4 out to a stereo 1/8. The people at the store told me that wouldn't work, that the audio in on the Mac wasn't good enough quality for good recording. They suggested a USB imput device instead. That's not true, is it? The audio in is optical quality, isn't it?
Thanks!
