Default Carbon Pre Mic control from within ProTools not working (showing)

Just recieved my new Carbon PRE !


Configured avid Carbon Centre to connect the Avid Carbon + Carbon PRE
All seems ok
* ProTools Playback engine set to Carbon Exanded.
* but in Hardware configuration in ProTools I only see Avid Carbon so not the additional CARBON PRE

* When I create a single mono track and select the input to the CARBON I can control the Pre-amps and you see the controls in the mixer window

BUT

When selecting an input from the Carbon PRE this option is not shown (see pictures)

also not able to select 48V or inpedance from within protools

Do I forget something ?

with kind regards

Hey Philippe!

A few things...

1 - You do not need to set up mic pre control for Carbon r Carbon Pre in Peripherals, Pro Tools knows when you're PB Engine is Expanded that you will have mic pre control over inputs belonging to the Carbon or Carbon Pre.

2 - Your input looks like it is set to Line. You cannot access +48 or Z unless you are set to Mic input AND you have a cable plugged in. Otherwise they appear blank... might be better if they were just dimmed rather than missing.

3 - There are currently no Carbon Pre setting in HW Setup, so you are not missing anything.

I think that's it... enjoy the new Pre!!! Tell all yer friends...

Hi mark.
But the carbon pre settings are not controllable in PT. They are not showing in the mixerview. They do for the carbon interface but as soon as you select the input of the carbon PRE the settings disappear. Even when an XLR/Jack (on any input of the PRE) is inserted. According to your post PT should automatically recognise the 8 additional pre-amps and made them controllable in PT, but it doesn’t show. You can select them and then manually set the settings on the interface itself but not through PT.



2 - Your input looks like it is set to Line. You cannot access +48 or Z unless you are set to Mic input AND you have a cable plugged in. Otherwise they appear blank... might be better if they were just dimmed rather than missing.

This is indeed the case. Thanks

3 - There are currently no Carbon Pre setting in HW Setup, so you are not missing anything.

OK

Ah, I see... are you on the current version or Pro Tools? There was a lot of work done in this area for the Pre release.

Greetings,

Try blowing away your IO Setup and see if the remote mic pre controls behave then.

best,


Jeff

Same here. Trash pref files and restart PT. Worked for me. I used that free program someone wrote to delete all files.

I LOVE carbon+pre. Sounds so good and works soo good. Only had to do that pref trash.
