Well, first of all on another notes, Im trying to get Logic to run through my Event PS5 speakers instead of my little imac ones, so if anyone knows anything about this, I'd preciate some info. I alreeady download that Logic file on the Event website. Now, I need to find some sort of converter to run from my Line inputs to USB ot maybe Firwire...or MIDI?
Anways, I made this MIDI sequence the other week and I wanted to add some Audio from the ES-2.The problem is, sound from MIDI tracks goes straight into my keyboard headphones, while sound from Audio tracks goes into my other computer head phones, or out of the little imac speakers, so its hard to sync the two together when I record. Does anyone know how I could get the Audio tracks to run through my keyboard headphones? This would be optimal..
thanks and your help is appreciated!!

MIDI is machine instruction to your synth, *not* sound. It tells your synth what sounds to play, for how long, how loud, etc. That is why the MIDI tracks are being heard through your keyboard's headphone jack: the MIDI information is causing the keyboard to play, and what goes out the headphone jack of the keyboard is the SOUND made internally *inside the keyboard* as a result of the MIDI instruction being received by it from the MIDI tracks in the computer.
The audio tracks in your sequencer are actual digital SOUNDS. Hence the term: audio. They are being played back by the computer, inside the computer, then converted from DIGITAL audio to ANALOG audio just before the computer's audio output jack/headphone jack. That's why you're hearing the audio coming out of the computer's headphone jack.
You have essentially two choices for mixing the two SEPARATE things together:
1. Get the audio outputs of your synth routed INTO the computer and playing THROUGH (there will be some type of software switch) your sequencer. That requires an audio interface that you can plug the AUDIO outputs of your synth into. Then you can mix the audio output of your synth/sampler into the stereo MAIN mix of your AUDIO tracks that goes out the computer's audio output. (Of course if you have an audio interface, you will likely have the computer's output then configured to go to the audio interface, and from there to speakers or headphones.)
2. Route the audio outputs of your synth to a MIXER, and route the audio outputs of your computer to the mixer, and monitor the mix of both audio signals from the headphones or MONITOR OUTS of the mixer. There you will have both audio signals combined: the synth (playing the SOUNDS of whatever the MIDI tracks are telling it to play) combined with the AUDIO coming out of the audio tracks in the computer.
