Re: 1st Impressions: Carbon
Agreed, it is a very good review.
As one of the early adopters of Carbon, I will also say that I could not be more pleased with the unit. The sound is stellar, it was dead easy to configure and the the "hybrid" engine is a very cleaver implementation. Plus up to 4 discrete headphone mixes and no second layer of software to try to manage.
I've typically been a fan of the tighter integration between Pro Tools SW and HW, and for me, this does not disappoint.
I understand that the 4 discrete HP feature was a must have early on in the design, and in my opinion is one of the more important things that set this above the common. I'm glad whomever it was, stuck to their guns on this one. It fits my workflow very nicely
I look forward to some of the hinted at improvements/upgrades in the near future, such as Eucon enabled Carbon controls.
Enjoy the unit, I know I am.
