Carbon's Sound...
OK just a quick comment after having Carbon and using it a lot over the last couple weeks...
I am noticing terrific punch and clarity in everything I'm working with. It's funny because I did not come to Carbon from low grade interfaces...I had the Steinberg AXR and for a brief time had the Zen Tour Synergy Core, both of which sounded great. But Carbon has really stood out. Great job on this unit, and I still smile every time I click on the lightening bolt and all delay comes to an end....and I didn't have to leave the mixer right in front of me! LOL TH |

Re: Carbon's Sound...
As I have noted in other threads I had to pre sell my Omni to fund the Carbon so I have not done a real time direct A/B but ( I think/feel like off memory) the Carbon has
A more open 3D-ish "right there" sound to it Also as a side note::: it seems that the 32 bit throughput on the Carbon allows more headroom before hitting the red .. BUT it also seems like this can mean "too much signal" (and sibilance over crappy laptop spks ) when converting to MP3 or say uploading a song to SoundCloud or YouTube ? Or maybe it's just my pilot error

Then i'll order it asap. Regarding overloading while recording, isn't it possible to just record at lower levels and clip gain to raise the volume? However I'm not shure 32 bit recording lowers noise floor compared to 24bit or just increase headroom. If it just increast the headroom I guess you can hit it hard more like tape recording? |

BUT First ::: To clarify I am not talking about overloading "while recording" that is not happening. So to back up:::: If I am recording (Like I usually do ) at say 24 bit 48k in WAV format , and all the tracks levels are fine, and not hitting red. And the Master Fader is not hitting red either but is say peaking at - 3 or -6 and sound fine on my system . If I then export that WAV to Sound Cloud (which SC then compresses that WAV for "Streaming" that can have distortion mainly on the sibilant vocal "S's" or a heavy (T's) and only on my laptop spk's ---- if I playback the Sound Cloud stream thru the Carbon it does not distort , only on the laptop Not a big deal just something I noticed
