MAX Carbon DSP video
So I was curious what would be the situation in which I would max out the DSP processing . Given the 8 HDX chips in the Carbon are one less than 1/2 the number (18) on a single HDX card .
So I decided to que up a 50 tracks session and start loading DSP plugins and also play with the Hybrid situation of some DSP Tracks and some native I did a screen recording and here are the results https://youtu.be/0Qz2lcE9I0Y

Re: MAX Carbon DSP video
No I had a Avid Omni and was running it HD Native on the HDN PCIe card in my mid 2010 Mac Pro,,,,so other than the three times over the years I had recorded in Professional studios, I had no experience recording using HDX processing at home . I do think it is a slight overall improvement over my old system both in ease of recording and sound

Re: Carbon 1 week in use
Thanks for your reply. First look at this from an HDX perspective is "less" power. However if I could automatically switch it on/off easily I can see getting away with 8 chips. I use more because I don't want to have to switch them by hand all the time.
I truly hope AVID decides to code for the new Apple silicon. It would make it an easier switch for HDX users that want to do so. Glad you digging your new gear! C

I too have Omni + HD Native PCI and am curious about the sound quality (pres/line IOs/HP) of Carbon versus Omni? |

I hesitate make any claim other than It seems to me to be a slight improvement in sound quality. I honestly never used the Omni onboard mic pre's much because I have a nice 2 channel tube mic pre. BUT if I am remembering correctly I think the Carbon pre's are a bit more clear and present But I will say that due to the HDX processing there is IMO a noticeable improvement in the way recording overdubs feels to me while playing a new part and listening to the previous parts at the same time. It just feels more right there live.

Re: Carbon 1 week in use
Looks like you have a lot of power now to get things done. Good video BTW.

Re: Carbon 1 week in use
Does Carbon have direct (analog) monitoring (e.g for vocal tracking) through its mixer to the Headphone outputs?

Of course with the HDX chips, monitoring through Pro Tools and whatever dsp plugins you have on that track, feels very natural. No discernible latency from the vocalists whom I have recorded the past few weeks, or as me or the other guitar players have experienced. My Clarett 8PreX has the direct monitoring, and it works well enough, but nowhere near as nice as the Carbon, and there is not an additional layer of software control that you need to navigate either. I LOVE the fact that I can have up to 4 discrete HP mixes right out of the box.
