You can find it by clicking on an insert slot on the Talkback track and going to recall inserts > Pro Tools | Carbon > Talkback. Let me know if that helps.
Thanks, Kyle. I ran a channel strip with a downward expander, aggressive low cut, careful narrow cuts where the fan whine lives, etc. I hate to be a downer, but it's just a really bad, unusable design. Fine for casual usage, but for paying clients? No way. Unfortunately, had to sacrifice a Carbon input (leaving only 23 for tracking, which is pretty rough) for a regular mic for talkback. Combined with the timeline issues I have to say I'm looking very hard at dumping it. The latency is lower than ANYTHING (including HDX), which is why I bought it, but it's, so far, a very far cry from filling the big shoes of the HD Accel system it just replaced. Been a ROUGH, very booked week at the studio...

So, if HDX (which I owned briefly and was much higher latency than Accel) isn't a good solution and Carbon isn't going to work out, I'm in a really bad situation.
