output from TEX to new MacBook Pro Garage Band

I've been using Garage Band to record my sequences and adding vocals or woodwinds to them before I turn them into MP3 files. Double 1/4" phono from audio out to mini-stereo audio in on my old MacBook and from there to Garage Band.
But on this new MBPro there is no mini-stereo audio input.
What will be the best way to get .sng files to Garage Band now? I probably have to use the USB port on the MBPro, right?
Glad to see TEX forum is still going strong.

Yes you are right, use Usb to send TE audio to MBP

You can't send USB audio from the Triton. You'll need an audio interface. Depending on your other needs (mic inputs? multiple outs?) there are a lot of options. The cheapest "pro" interfaces that I would dare to recommend are like 150 bucks.

I can send midi signals from the USB B port to the MBPro which can record them. It produces vaguely recognizable sounds as long as what I send is simple data from 1 track only. Plus it is midi, just signals telling the chosen instrument in Garage Band what to play. Right? Not what I need, that's for sure.
I do have a Tascam US 122 L interface but it is not taking the LR audio output from the TEx and turning it into something the new GB can use.
Do you have a name for an interface you know will be able to do that?
It used to be so simple and good.
