Avid Pro Tools Carbon Hybrid Audio Production System
The ultimate Pro Tools experience for audio recording
The Avid Pro Tools Avid Carbon Hybrid Audio Production System is the next evolution of Pro Tools audio interfaces. Designed to streamline the recording and mixing process so musicians, engineers and producers spend less time on technology and more time on being creative, Pro Tools | Carbon sets a new standard for hardware and software integration. It combines native CPU with HDX DSP acceleration for maximum performance, allowing you to use more plugins than ever before with real-time latency-free monitoring. Pro Tools Carbon connects to your computer via AVB, which provides astonishingly low latency and 32-bit float precision audio streaming. At i4studio we are thrilled with Carbon’s newly designed preamps, which capture audio in stunning detail and nuance without coloration. Enjoy the ultimate ProTools experience with the Pro Tools Carbon hybrid production system from Avid!
Perfect hardware and software integration
Pro Tools has been the industry standard recording and mixing software for decades. And it’s no wonder why: the console-style workflow and timeline-based editing window are intuitive and efficient. And numerous time-saving production and editing tools, such as Elastic Audio and Beat Detective, help you achieve professional results quickly. Pro Tools Carbon’s hybrid engine, which allows you to use native CPU and HDX DSP processing simultaneously during recording and mixdown, provides the optimal Pro Tools experience. In addition, the integrated features, such as zero-latency monitoring, can be accessed from within Pro Tools – no separate control software is required!
HDX DSP offers unlimited creativity
When composing and recording in the box, you can sometimes hit a wall when it comes to your computer’s sources. But Pro Tools avid Carbon amplifies the capabilities of your systems with eight HDX DSP cores. You can use more plugins than ever before, both in native and HDX DSP mode. Bundled with over 115 AAX DSP plugins from the AVID Complete collection, as well as virtual instruments from UVI and Native Instruments, Dave Hill’s HEAT harmonic amplifier, and numerous hardware emulations from McDSP and Plugin Alliance, Pro Tools Carbon provides a comprehensive production system for unlimited creativity!
High-end converters and advanced preamplifiers
This Interface delivers exceptional sonic performance. Four state-of-the-art analog-to-digital converters per channel deliver pristine audio quality, with an impressive 126 dB dynamic range that accurately captures quiet sources with minimal noise and loud sources, without distortion. Newly Designed, Pro Tools Carbon’s eight preamps are some of the best yet – crafted for ultimate transparency and detail. And four of the eight preamplifiers have variable impedance control for optimal amplification regardless of the source. For engineers and manufacturers using outboard gear, Pro Tools Carbon makes it possible to bypass any of the eight preamps for the shortest possible signal chain.
