Re: Carbon 1 week in use
I am also unclear what "Additional latency with AVB" means and do not understand the phrase "presentation time offset can be tuned down from the default of 2ms."
All I know is when recording overdubs (say a vocal over a rhythm acoustic guitar track) compared to my HD Native system and Omni,(which I always recorded dry, with no plugins and no outboard processing)......... recording with Carbon and DSP plugins and also running the signal through my outboard Reverb and Compressor there is a more "right there' accurate feel to the audio going onto in my HPs than with my old system Enough so that in this little first recording attempt below , tracking an Acoustic Guitar on rhythm, then over dubbing lead riffs then a vocal ( my amateur playing ability not withstanding) I was able to actually do one pass all the way through on each part, and had an acceptable if not perfect result . The mics were plugged directly into the Carbon Here is the result of that first recording session, where my lack of skill at video post production, took significantly longer than the audio production So ignore the amateur performance and focus on the sound quality (considering also it is compressed YouTube audio) https://youtu.be/PN3WxHxWwCo

Just wanted to follow up and say I'm aware that Customer Support reached out to you. I understand you no longer have the unit, but I'm going to see if we can track it down to figure out what the issue is. It's possible it's a software issue where the fan "thinks" it needs to be spin faster than it does. The decision to put a fan in Carbon was driven by the goal of having a lot of analog I/O and DSP in a 1RU package. The high performance analog I/O generates a lot of heat. The DSPs do as well. So, we went to great lengths to design a virtually silent fan which could deliver the cooling required. We're very sensitive to the stigma around fans in audio interfaces. And, that's for good reason because historically audio interface fan design has not been very good - resulting in noise. So, we felt there was some innovation to be made in this area. Obviously, the experience we want to deliver wasn't the case with your unit, so we'll be investigating why that is. Thanks, Kyle

Re: Carbon in use
Hey Kyle,
I appreciate how you care about Carbon. I try to get in touch with your German distributor on Monday to identify the unit I had for my review. I’ll come back to Mark Corbin on that matter on Monday. If you will be able to solve the really “little noise problem” compared to older Avid interfaces Carbon will be an even better product. I personally prefer full EuCon control when it’s ready but even without Carbon/Hybrid Engine is the greatest invention since TDM imho. Best regards Mark
