Product Description
The Avid Pro Tools Carbon is an entirely new class of audio interface, built for capturing brilliance efficiently. It’s a powerful hybrid system that takes full advantage of your native CPU and HDX DSP processing system at the same time. Capture every detail with pristine converters and the best preamps Avid has to offer. During mixing and recording, monitor with near-zero latency within Pro Tools. Switch between HDX DSP and native functionality with a press of a button.
Move seamlessly between worlds. This unique hybrid engine maximizes Pro Tools performance without skipping a beat. Toggle tracks from to and from native to a from DSP mode freely. Both modes serve unique purposes that ensure you’re getting the most out of your session. The DSP Mode accelerates the performance of AAX-DSP plug-ins in real time, enabling you to record with zero latency. It also frees up the CPU for virtual instruments and other mixing tasks. Mixing in native mode allows Pro Tools to take care of all the technical tasks for you.
This bundle allows you to expand your Pro Tools Carbon-powered studio up to 24 channels of mic/line inputs and more. Sonically exceptional, each Avid Pro Tools Carbon PRE delivers the same world-class audio performance as Carbon, providing eight premium mic/line preamps with variable input impedance for greater tonal flexibility, and stacked ADCs for maximum dynamic range. With 32-bit float point providing pristine conversion from end to end, you can capture every sonic detail. Tap into the Pro Tools Hybrid Engine for low-latency input processing—with recallable remote control of all channels through Pro Tools. You can even use Carbon PRE to expand or replace preamps in a Pro Tools HD system.
