What Mac pro do you have? The latest Mac Pro desktop is the late 2013 Mac Pro.
The 2013 Mac Pro's headphone port also accepts mono mic in

maybe...could you give us a screenshot of your preamp's back panel (or at least model no and brand) and more info about your mac?

thanks

I talked with a guitarist. He said to do it via USB with my effects loop. I think I did it this way about fourteen years ago.
